Question For Blue Duece


PassionRE

Recommended Posts

I know this is going to sound odd..... But who recorded Dire Straits's music? I've been helping a friend tune his car stereo, and build another system. We have been using a Dire Straits cd and I can not believe how clean and clear the music is...

I listen to all kinds of music, but some of what is recorded today sounds like hell.... The recordings are what kills it (my opinion) I would probably buy more cd's if they didnt sound like such shit.

 

btw: great lookin studio Duece

i think mark knoffler the guitar player self produced sultans of swing......a guy named hugh pagdam did money for nothin....he's also sting's producer.....some groups or artists will use several different guys......i have rap cd's, rock, countyry,jazz as long as it sounds nice i'll listen...some bands mostly grunge type, claim there beeing "old school" by not spending cash recording there records, i say its cause they dont have the budget....oddly enough though when im driving i listen to am talk radio, my ears get pumelled constantly at work......

yeah i am proud of it jim, mostly cause i built it, wired it all and can operate it, alot of studio owners are just guys with cash and hire people to do it all, in my case i have great credit and the knowledge to get this gear up and running as with any biz its all about service......i have guys come to my rooms and tell me they could do my job.....i say what record, edit film? i'll bet you can, but can you find 25 grand a month per room to send the bank though?........its like a kid helping you port for a year, then proclaiming he's the shit at engine builds.......ive recorded alot of good vocalists and have gear to correct pitch, but singing is all about vibe mostly not hitting the notes....since the console is computer controlled you have the guy do 20 passes at the song, then start picking and chooseing his best lines, turn on one track at the same time you mute the other, doubleing lines here and there.....when i engineer its my job to see that whats recorded is not distorted and keep track of whats goin on with all the tracks and such, but when you produce you tell the artist what to sing and when and the engineer is there to take what the producers say and make it happen in the mix, a good engineer is harder to find than a producer......
