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.

Introducing The Crowns

These guys contacted me via our American Platinum You Tube Channel, and I thought they were quite good in some respects for today's music. They seem to be doing thier homework, even if the vocal is a little rough - that can be the producer, to some degree. Nevertheless, I think thier effort is quite good for a debut. The guitarist sounds a bit like the guitarist in Interpol, but this kid is far better. Most agree they are better by far than My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. See what you think...

Oh, going to post a free plug in pack soon for those in need of some great free plugs ! Follow us on Twitter (coming soon) for free music and plug ins. Kim
