Another great issue chaps!
While i do not subscribe I have all AT issues bought from various Newsagency’s around the Syd Metro area.
I have learned a great deal from your mags over the years and am a Stav Book fan as well. This issues mix notes where a treat and I always like Stav’s articles which supplement his book very well. As for next issue’s Mastering tutorial, I’d say Mike will open with a list of disclaimers Hehe, but I am interested in the process particularly: coherence between track mixes; Mastering EQ curves “what really is the scoop”for consumer replayability? Do we really need another compressor,if so is Stav’s Limiter first method still going to require a brickwalling at the end to get a competitive volume?
I very much enjoyed Rick’s on the move again; Insightful,valuable pointers to finding the exact recording space! Well Done!
But I have a little old Church on a busy road to contend with #%?
The only thing I’d like to add is the noise of AirCon units.
I’m a Roof Plumber to feed my audio addiction and only just recently had to dismantle, cut up and remove a monster of a unit atop a Resturant to gain access to reroof a section of it.
It was straddled with other rusted out Dinosaurs as well but in their place were several modern quieter plastic shelled units. Again too at a Showroom Warehouse I am reroofing their AirCon units are modern ones right next to a large block of units.
Keep up the good works!
Looking foreward to next issue
cheers
