I think Alan makes a good point here, and brings up a phenomenon I didn't pay much attention to until I read his post - just as there are recordings where some don't like the content, there are recordings where some don't like the sound quality. And just as there are people who buy the recordings lacking in content (to the dismay of those who are hypersensitive to good content), there are those who buy recordings defficient in sound quality (to the dismay of people like Alan). I, myself am in this latter category of record buyers. I still can't tell the difference between the BBC Hot Fives & 7s and Columbia Record's version. Some people are just completely insensitive to sound color and will accept bullshit. I think what Reuben is asking is "How do I reach a 'standard' of sound quality that is acceptable in the recording market? " not " How do I reach a 'standard' of sound quality that shows I can hear different mixes in my head, know which ones I want, and know how to get them." Now probably the second standard is more reliable to strive for than the first, but for all you EMUSIC engineer types, is the first standard entirely a market chimera or is there some consensus of sound quality out there (for synth and synth-pop)? I really don't know. PEace.

"aural exciters" ... "sonic maximizers" A can of worms with marketing hype thrown in for good measure! A hf enhancer can be almost anything, including a simple eq circuit. The device may have a special "shape" for the high frequency knob that is a bit more complex than a generic graphic EQ slider. It also may have the ability to "relax" compression on high frequency material. Compressors with side chain inputs can perform a similar (potentially more flexible) function by use of an external EQ unit. An (Aphex) aural exciter actually generates high frequency components (hopefully based on your input signal), adding material to your signal. The BBE sonic maximizers perform a slight phase shift over a couple/few frequency ranges and perform a dynamic amplitude adjustment usually based on mid and hi frequency signal content. They do not actually add to the material, but perform dynamically, so are not equivalent to a static EQ. As for your "high frequency enhancer" ...hard to tell! I believe Aphex and BBE have trademarks on their process names, but that does not stop a sales person from saying "it works like...", sometimes whether it does or doesn't.

The enhancer is presumably included to make up for this. Of course, one has to ask whether a well-designed compressor actually needs one. A good circuit should not filter too much of the high frequencies unless you do something stupid like a comp ratio of 20:1 at a low threshold. Still, I can't judge the device that Gerry is considering because I don't know what it is and even if I did I probably wouldn't be familiar with it.

To give him useful advice on aesthetics of Music and/or Recording techniques would be totally unrealistic. What works for Pearl Jam obviously wouldn't work for Kenny G. My best guess is that the question was supposed to be: "Can I achieve _technically correct transfer_ and _mimic_ professional recording of my MIDI to the cassette?" My answer would be 'yes', could he achieve _the_ professional level? No way! There is to much of _everything_ sold (and bought!) as 'pro' that actually doesn't complain to the pro-standards at all. A lot of the studio recording practices are non professional (emphasing, mono-stereo noncompatibility, most of the digital audio compression, dithering, floating ground, even level compression in classical music, etc.), not to mention the use of the quasi-pro equipment. The standard that de facto rules the audio industry is defined by AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcast Union) - since _all_ of the music recorded attempts to end up broadcasted or mass marketed you want your recording to sound equally pristine on any station or CD player around the world. This standard defines all sorts of technical issues, resulting in related recording/broadcasting practices, also specifies one of the many sources of confusion worth explaining: the recording format/medium. The compact cassette, as the medium, is _not_ defined as the professional format, therefore, one can't achieve 'professional results recording on a cassette'. Even if you think you did, you won't be able to play it because in a pro recording/broadcast studio it would be transfered to tape to avoid possible embarrassment due to mechanical nonreliability of the cassette. For the same (and not the only one) reason, ADAT is _not_ a professional format. Any serious editing of the VHS cassette (Video _Home_ System, remember?) would cause the damage/loss of information on it. MiniDisc, either, uses destructive compressing algorithms. Digidesign Pro Tools III breaks some of the pro rules... The only pro recording formats are Orange Book CD (RCD), (16 bits linear, uncompressed), studio tape (1/4", 19"/sec +), digital open reel tape (two PCM formats) and the latest, magneto-optical disc (Studer D424). Some HD based systems are establishing themselves as a pro recorders (Fairlight, Studer Dynaxis, for instance). DAT managed to sneak in because it was used as a transfering format from analog to digital and for portable (ENG) use but it's generally _avoided_ because of already mentioned mechanical unstability and low storage life... blah, blah... time for lunch... ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 15 Apr 1996 18:59:57 -0400 Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: David Crandall Subject: Re: Minimalism (was Re: Professional Quality Sound) In-Reply-To: <9604151022.aa06128@ergo.sco.com> On Mon, 15 Apr 1996, Andrew Sharpe wrote: > "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not where there is > nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." > > - Antoine de Saint-Exupery See also one of my favorite remarks from Raymond Carver where he said he knew a story was done when he finally rewrote it by putting back everything he'd taken out in the previous pass... ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 15 Apr 1996 19:44:50 -0400 Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: Gerry Pawluk Subject: Re: Compressors/Exciters/Maximizers Thanks for the responses.

I'm running into a strange "Situation" with my MIDI Time Piece II. At any given time, it will just decide that, instead of sending the MIDI info through the correct channels, it will send all the info to all of the channels. Originally, I thought that this only occurred when I switched the thru button from thru to midi after midi info was running to the MTPII. However, I'm noticing that it sometimes begins at power up. I haven't been able to determine any reason for this strange behavior. (I definitely spend far too much time with my equipment! I talk about it as if it were a person! ;) ). I haven't found a workaround to fix the "situation" either. Hitting the panic button sends the all note off command, but then the very next set of incoming info is routed to all channels as before. I usually end up flipping it on and off and quitting for a while to see if the gremlin will go away. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It's awfully humbling when a director (or other employer-type) is over to hear a rough mix of the music and I can't make it work!!!! Has anyone else had this problem before? Any suggestions? Could it be a software thing? My unit is version 1.0g. If nothing else, does MOTU have an online (preferably e-mail) tech support?

Even better, if your synth can support layers with different envelopes, you're set, just choose your trigger source to switch between layers! Happy hunting. Sean P.

Nice ASCII art there. Many synthesizers have "Legato Mode" that can be set for a given patch and called up with a corresponding program change. Legato mode works by sounding the atackless note on before the last note off. That is to say, the attack will only sound if no other notes are "on". Be careful with note numbers and channels here. In short, set your synth patch "legato" on (if it has it) and send this: NOTE-1-ON, NOTE-2-ON, NOTE-1-OFF, NOTE-3-ON, NOTE-2-OFF, NOTE-3-OFF (jfm) ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Apr 1996 11:00:18 -0500 Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: "" Subject: Re: Professional Quality Sound Comments: To: wd528@FREENET.VICTORIA.BC.CA In-Reply-To: If you are wondering about "RAVE/AMBIENT/TECHNO freaks" (as quoted in your post) read my post on the "professional quality sound" topic, and see what you think.

The thing is bad! I do not have one, but I would if I had the funds. My friend has one and it has a lot of possibilities. They have pitch bend, and some other pretty cool effects modulation wheels that can help you create the cool sounds of the rave scene. If you need more info. on the keyboard I will take a look at my friends, and see what I can find. Another big plus is the Bass Station (unsure of the maker, though I want to say Noval(?)). This is another cool little analogue synth that is capable of producing extra low bass notes that are good for alot of dance type music. You might even try to get a 303 drum machine, if you can still find one. S. Teran P.S. Let me know what you end up getting. ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Apr 1996 18:13:44 +0100 Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: Nick Rothwell Subject: Re: 4000$ for shopping > Yes, my friend (and my boss) want to buy some stuff for making > DANCE-RAVE-TECHNO music. He needs all - keyboard, sequencer, mixer >and ofcourse sampler and expandable(!) sound modules. Hmm. You ask on the EMUSIC list. OK then: why does techno music need a sampler? Is techno as a genre a musical style or a consequent of particular gear? (My album project, due early '97, is going to be 100% sampler-free.)

Let me requote (no sarcasm this time:) what I found interesting to comment to: >>Anyone can tweak, twist, fudge, fake, screw around with, >>patch, demodulate, encrypt and God only knows what else to come up with an >>OK recording, but a professional recording will only come from the ears, >>hands and brain of a professional recording engineer. > Well, to "tweak, twist, fudge..." etc. the grooves is exactly what basically makes the techno/ambient/rave genre what it is - variations on a theme and rhythm (and BTW, I like that). So, what crossed my mind: do dance music 'freaks' (= in a positive way) think that this genre is generally recorded non-professionally? (hard for me to tell since most of it is published on vinyl).
