Episode 22: Album Drop Thoughts

Think of me as a surrealist doing automatic writing on this one. Not for the logically-minded, this one. But you’re invited to the uselessness if you’d like to visit.

Uploading this one as a sleep aid, truly. Contains no real information. It does, however, contain the sounds of my voice and me walking. So enter here only ye who wish to vibe with me about tape machines and slumber.

Counterintuitive is the word I was looking for. It was not easy to think of :) I like that this puzzle/exercise can show you that you’re not always thinking as logically as it feels like.

Inward Connections Vac Rac 4000 made in 1997, specifically the TLM-1 Tube Limiter Module. Quite a compressor and I almost owned a pair. Go shopping with me.

One man’s take on the important parts and the order I find myself doing them in. And as soon as I cast this it will all change completely. Also none of this applies unless you think my songs are good, so it's no more universal than that. Riffs!

TL;DR: 1. Punch/Snap (add or remove it) 2. Movement 3. Leveling and 1. SSL Bus Comp 2. Vari-Mu 3. 1176

The possibility of (forwards) possibility and whatnot, but why 10 and not merely 7?

Which EQ do I want to use? Which one does Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Tina Turner, MCR, Muse) use? What's the difference?

update: the E-series sounds better.

Thoughts on respecting and disrespecting the signal path. And getting a little meta.

Compressors, converters and reel to reel tape. How do they sound and who really gives a sh*t? Follow this frugalist through some cautious toe-dipping into the world of affordable analog sound processing.
