Recording Studio Tech
⚠️ High pitched frequency warning! ⚠️ This frequency may trigger tinnitus.
This is the tedious work behind your favorite music that you rarely get to see. When i was an engineers apprentice, this was the sound that accompanied the start of every morning. In this video a studio apprentice is adjusting the calibration and alignment of the Studer A80 tape machine at Omega Recording Studio. The MRL Calibration Tape plays a 1khz frequency at 250nWb/m. The Weber is the unit of magnetic flux, or in layman’s terms, magnetic strength. It is an important measurement for getting signals on and off of magnetic tape (whether digital or analog). One Weber is much too large a unit to be relevant with tape recorders, so the nanoweber (one billionth of a Weber) is a standard unit of measurement. The recorded level of tape is expressed in nanowebers per meter of tape. Especially in analog recording, the signal level to tape is a critical component in the performance of the tape. Too high a level, and you get distortion  and lack of headroom, but with too low a level, your signal-to-noise is compromised. The proper recording level for tape depends a lot on the formulation of the tape and the electrical/magnetic characteristics of the recorder. Recorders are thus aligned using standard reference tapes containing tones at known levels rated in nanowebers per meter. Once the machine is calibrated to a reference, it becomes possible to optimize its levels for the particular formulation of tape desired through another alignment procedure. Recording to tape is just as much an artform as making the music itself.

Currently listening to the Uncharted collection menu music while U3 downloads. You know you're a music geek when you end up confusing your mother by saying "oh that sus4 and resolution REALLY hits the spot". I'll never forgive the Uncharted film having the soundtrack they did when they had a full catalogue to choose from.

Music friends with really good ears and phones...
Can you listen to "Got to Get You Into My Life" off Revolver (sounds like it's the pressing used for first CDs)?
I'm hearing a phantom fuzz guitar doubling a horn part, and I can't tell if it's mix bleed.

I always like it when I come across a composer I've never heard of. Even better when it's a woman who used what was supposed to be harp repair money to try to leave her husband--and people say classical music is boring

are you really a music geek if you don’t listen to your dog barking in their sleep and figure out what intervals they’re barking??

My monthly all-vinyl DJ night happens every first Saturday at the Homestead Bar in San Francisco. Heavy on power pop, punk and post-punk with doses of pop-sike and an injection of US, UK and Antipodean indie rarities.

there is SO much depth and beauty in the stories we hear in sweeney todd. a murderer who was once a doting father, so blind with hatred and anger towards the world that he couldn’t even see his own wife and daughter, staring him right in the face. a woman down on her luck and in love, trying so desperately to make a connection with a deeply broken and disturbed human. an unfortunately innocent and unknowing boy who ended up being the one who could sense the dark truth. a love at first sight that refused to die, even when torn apart by the disgusting perversion of a greedy abuser. sweeney todd is about all of these people, doing absolutely horrible things, all out of some form of love. that’s the beauty of sweeney todd. sweeney killed for a father and husband’s love. lovett baked real people with real lives into pies to maintain a shallow, lustful relationship she impossibly dreamed would bloom into true romance. turpin destroyed an innocent family because he could not contain his ‘love’ for a pretty woman and her daughter. toby slit a throat because his mother figure was all he had, and he loved her, simply and purely, as an innocent child loves a mother. their love is the purest of all in the story.
but my point is — yes, sweeney todd is about a murderer and his accomplice who cannibalizes and sells his victims. but it’s not. sweeney todd is about love. how love is even stronger and more dangerous than the deepest hate. it’s about how love can destroy people. this show is so beautifully, deeply, disgustingly human. and this dark, telling tale is somehow warped into some of the most gorgeous music to ever be written and made hilarious, lovable, and entertaining. musical theatre is truly magic. human nature is love and filth and greed. sweeney todd perfectly embodies both of these ideas.
