Re: (313) [313] KDJ label art.
If we're talking about the same pictures then they're by an artist called Ernie Barnes who did quite a lot of album cover work, particularly during the seventies. For instance, the image that appears on the label of KDJ 6 - I Can't Kick This Feeling When It Hits/Music People (what an extraordinarily good 12 BTW) is taken from the cover of Marvin Gaye's 'I Want You' LP. The full picture is titled 'Sugar Shack' and is strangely reminiscent of the opening scenes in the video for Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal', but maybe I should stop right there before I damage my limited cred any further Ernie Barnes' work can also be seen on the cover of Curtis Mayfield's 'Something To Believe In' as well as albums by Donald Byrd and The Crusaders. The Camp-Lo cover looks like a pastiche of 'Sugar Shack', particularly since Barnes' work is probably rather expensive. Is that album any good BTW?

RE: (313) Studio Monitors
You also need to consider the dimensions and acoustics of the room in which you do your mix-downs. For example, a smaller room might not have the space for the low-frequency waveforms to properly unfold, meaning that you might want monitors that do emphasise bass somewhat. If you're in a large room, however, then you will get a proper bass response anyway, and any attempt to emphasise bass frequencies on your monitors will have an overamplification effect. I mix down in a pretty small room, so am probably going to go for the Alesis M-1 monitors when I can be arsed to ditch my hi-fi Mission speakers! But my process for properly mixing down tracks currently involves listening to them in the studio, then in my bedroom, then on my flatmates crap-but-bassy sound system downstairs, then on headphones at work, then at my friend's house, etc etc etc. I also like to have the track playing in my room, and walk in slowly from outside - it's often interesting to see which parts of the song are the first things you hear as you walk in on it, rather than always listening to it bloody loud from start to finish...

There are quite a few joke pages on AMG, if you know where to look -- it never hurts to plug into the search engine any of the bylines from the end of reviews, or such. Mine isn't much of a hoot, but Mr. Jason Ankeny's biography has one of my all-time favorite bits: In his off hours he continues to freelance for AMG, at least when not working on his pet project Tigga Please, a proposed live-action adaptation of the classic Winnie the Pooh series starring rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard as Christopher Robin. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 2:12 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) what the hell is this?

RE: (313) mixer advice
however, you cant record .wav files with it which i know you can do with other Archos products, it only goes up to 320 kbs VBR mp3 recording. which is still pretty good, just not .wav I could be wrong, but isn't 320 kbs more or less uncompressed? So the sound quality should be up there with a .wav, even though it's not the actual format. Andy
Re: (313) mixer advice
320k is less compressed than say, 128k. 320k makes for a big file, but it sounds nice. -Joe - Original Message - From: Andy Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313 List 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 3:51 PM Subject: RE: (313) mixer advice however, you cant record .wav files with it which i know you can do with other Archos products, it only goes up to 320 kbs VBR mp3 recording. which is still pretty good, just not .wav I could be wrong, but isn't 320 kbs more or less uncompressed?

I had no clue that it did that. Minidisc uses Sony's own ATRAC compression, and newer models offer LP2 and LP4 compression modes, which is essentially 1/2 and 1/4 compression, so you can record for 5 hours on one 74 minute disc. That's pretty damn cool, although the compression is pretty noticeable at LP4. I really love mine. The compression is equivalent to 160Kbps mp3 on the standard recording mode, I'd say, which to my ears means that you can't tell - not to open up that can of worms again. I know it's subjective. Frankly, for DJ sets I think it's fine. I would never record my music to minidisc as a first-choice option though. One other cool thing is that newer minidiscs also support mp3, and you can cram a lot more mp3s on a minidisc than you can on the comparable price of smart memory. Of course, the IPod holds gigs upon gigs, which kind of blows all the other mp3 players out of the water AFAIK. One cautionary word of advice though. If you hope to record to minidisc, then dump the song into NetMD, this will not work b/c of copy protection measures, so you actually need to do it analogue-style. I was a bit disappointed by that.

And that is precisely when and where Sony dropped the ball on MD. Shame, really. Sorry. One last word on this (really). Personally, I think it's important not to make too big of a deal about keeping things in the digital realm, and my views on this are stronger now than ever. For my last mix, I recorded it live to minidisc. For reasons I'm a bit embarassed to share here, I had to excavate the whole thing from the left channel, copy that to the right channel, apply noise reduction, a dash of ultramaximation, then export. The whole process didn't take much longer than the time it took to record the thing in manually (the real drawback in my mind), and I haven't had any complaints about overtly crappy sound quality in that mix, even after it was exported back out into mp3. Also, not a single person even noticed it was in mono (that I know of), and a stereo-carved-in-half-and-recopied mono at that. I think if you actually have two examples lined up a - b, it's a discernable difference, but otherwise we habituate pretty quickly, and a little bit of fiddling in [insert favorite audio editor with mad pluggins here] will do wonders for fixing anything that may be inadequate with minidisc.

RE: (313) Studio Monitors
NS-10 are not recommended as only monitors. All the pro studios only use them so that people can hear the mix on the same monitors in every studio, or to simulate lo quality hi-fi speakers... you never see them used as only monitors. They also seam to be useful as a magnifying glass for middle frequencies. But in general they sound pretty awful, and you wouldn't want to listen to them for a long time.
