ALSO - coming up, the largest list of drum samples, sounds, machines ever compliled on the net !

So, why do some old recordings sound better than those made recently ?

I've posted a link at the bottom here that you may want to listen to with your headphones on, in response to the question as to WHY old mono and mono based stereo mixes sound better than today's digital recordings of rock music...

The answers are 1) recording and mastering levels are too high today 2) the use of compression on most all signal inputs amplifies undesirable errant subharmonics - especially with electric guitars 3) crowded mixes that also lack 'harmony' - too many signals competing for output on headphones and speakers: that's why clean jazz and classical music sound so much better than rock even on the cheapest systems and speakers.

When you are tracking - use mono signals rather than the stereo output on effects sends, guitar and signal processing units, except in rare cases (such as the lead guitar solo).

This is an excellent example of solid mono signal recording that is then mixed into a stereo mix. The Beatles always recorded in mono - the individual tracks, despite using multiple mikes on a single performance. These signals were then mixed into a mono signal.
