THE BILL MAY REPORT: Buying the best output transformer
"RdM" wrote in message ... Iain Churches wrote But there is definately a difference in expectation from country to country. One comes across this also in recording with preferences in playing styles and sounds. That's half-way towards "defiantly" ;- but I agree in my experience You are "definitely" correct:-)) This subject of territorial preferences in music and also sound production is an interesting one. I remember the sudden rise in popularity of the HiWatt amplifier on recording sessions UK studios. (Pete Townsend used Hi Watt) Similarly on the question of playing styles, many students used to practice the recorded solos and hot lucks of their idols ( I don't know of a single jazz saxophone player of any merit who, as a student has not struggled to learn Charlie Parker's "Koko", or the embouchure to create the unique sound of Earl Bostic "Flamingo" the track from which the legendary John Coltrane is said to have developed his own style. It's not about emulation but about simulation in the process of finding your own style and sound. I have adopted the same course as a recording engineer. Look, listen and learn. Everyone can teach you something, even if it is simply *not* how to do it! Regards to all Iain |
