Love the section about tape manipulation and the reverse hand clap. A quick question re : Whereas when I put a CD up against a vinyl I always have to EQ the CD a lot hotter than the vinyl, to make it compare What does hotter mean in this context? 2009/9/10 Martin Dust mar...@dustscience.com:

To an old studio rat like Juan 'hotter' would mean raw signal level. I thought it was kind of a curious comment on his part, actually, because CD players are at the same nominal level as the output of a phono preamp. I wonder if he just likes that high frequency distortion that's unavoidable with

Wouldnt boosting all the frequencies make it sound . . . well I cant describe it but overdriven. I play about with the EQ on my stereo as we all do and that set up usually sounds rubbish. If anything I drop out the mid section a bit, boost the tops a bit and boost the bass a little more than the

Something Ive been thinking about recently In the UK we got UK Funky with is essentially house with a soca beat. Often made on simple equipment in a short period of time. I guess its like fashion just get it out there, sell it and make the next release. But people seem to get really excited by

UK Funky sounds just like what was going on in the mid 90s in Chicago...Dance Mania, IHR, Contaminated, and plenty of others were dropping new stuff weekly that wasn't exactly innovative or detail oriented. Jeff --Original Message-- From: Ravinder S Mann To: list 313 Sent: Sep 10, 2009

I would assume he's referring to the fact that CD's are often mastered with heavy compression, and so while they often sound loud and upfront as all getout, they often have a noticeable lack of dynamics compared to vinyl -- they don't pop like well-cut vinyl does. That's something you only really
