TT Dynamic Range Meter

In January 2009, The Pleasurize Music Foundation launched a wide-ranging initiative for ending the “Loudness War” being waged by successive music releases. This initiative aims to introduce a dynamic standard through several phases.

TT Dynamic Range Meter (free download) makes it possible to provide releases with a whole-number dynamic value to be printed on the recording medium as a logo, giving consumers an immediate means of knowing the dynamic quality of a recording.

An online database is planned for furnishing information on music already released with the standard. Read more »

sellaband

Artist funding platform Sellaband has been offline for several days with its front page declaring, “We’re currently down for maintenance…we expect to be back up tomorrow by the end of the day.”

But documents filed in an Amsterdam court yesterday show that the company has been declared insolvent, a Dutch legal status similar to bankruptcy in the U.S. An English translation of court documents reads simply:

“Pronunciation ams.10.146.F.1306.1.10 bankruptcy after termination suspension on February 22, 2010

The fate of funds being held for fan investors or for artists like Public Enemy, who were using the platform to raise funds for a new album or  for fan investors is unclear. Company officials have not yet responded to an morning inquiry.

I don’t think it would be presumptuous of me to think that readers of this site probably spend quite a lot of time at gigs. Whether on stage or in the audience, musicians spend plenty of time in loud environments.

Etymotic ER-20

ETY-Plugs (TM) earplugs use patented technology that replicates the natural response of the ear canal so that sound heard with these earplugs is as clear as the original, just quieter. ETY-Plugs earplugs have nearly the same fidelity as Etymotic’s Musicians Earplugs (TM) (custom earplugs worn by professional musicians) and are a low cost alternative.

There were many recording techniques used in my years as an engineer back in Detroit in the various recording studios around: Selah, Sound Suite, Vanguard, LaMonte’s, United Sound, Studio A, and more.
I shared some of these memories with another fellow Detroiter, the great engineer Reggie Dozier (brother of Lamont Dozier from Holland-Dozier-Holland), over lunch to help me recall the analog days, and to give you guys even more bang for your buck in this article!

STS from Synchronia
Synchronia, the small French audio company whose Sound Skulptor preamp kits we reviewed in September 2008, have just announced their Stereo Tape Simulator (or STS), which, as its name suggests, aims to impart some tape-style analogue warmth to single channels and stereo busses. An entirely analogue unit, the controls appear to be very intuitive, with just input and output level controls, a three-way tape-speed switch, and a hard-wired bypass switch for each channel.
