Fridges can be modified to nudge their internal thermostats up and down just a little in response to the main's frequency in such a way that, without ever jeopardising the temperature of your butter, they tend to take power at times that help the grid.
You can't just stick someone's name on a headphone that doesn't know anything about sound.
I love good, loud speakers.
In my opinion, the P-90 is the best pickup for slide - it has the right overtones.
Music sets up certain vibration which unquestionably results in a physical reaction. Eventually the proper vibration for every person will be found and utilized.
Micing it from two different angles in front of the speaker sounds huge, and it's so simple.
Early CDs, I found, flattened out the sound - it took away all the highs.
Negative feedback effected amplifier performance significantly.
As seismologists gained more experience from earthquake records, it became obvious that the problem could not be reduced to a single peak acceleration. In fact, a full frequency of vibrations occurs.
I loved music, and in my ninth year at MIT, I decided to buy a hi-fi set. I figured that all I needed to do was look at the specifications. So I bought what looked like the best one, turned it on, and turned it off in five minutes, the sound was so poor.
I always liked the intensity of the recording.
On our early demos, I was really frustrated with my recorded sound. I'd tell my dad, 'Dude, I want more 'cut' on my guitar - I want more treble.' And he'd say, 'Now, son, you don't want that. It'll hurt your ears.' But my dad just didn't understand.
You shouldn't really have to use EQ in the studio if the instruments sound good. It should all be done with microphones and microphone placement.
The absence of a bass player always makes things go faster and hit harder in the high-end range.
Rock shows are loud, so I try to use a sound that is warm on the high frequencies.
When the Grateful Dead needed a quality sound system to deliver our sonic payload, I learned electronics and speaker design.
I've discovered that sheer quantity doesn't necessarily make for a heavier sound; if anything, overdubs make guitars sound mushier.
All I know is that when I mix to digital and when I mix to tape I compare them and the tape always wins out.
It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important.
