I've just had it delivered - on first glance it
looks laid out well,

analogue, not
just the analogue theory like you might find in an
old library book.
If I've got a reservation it's that much of the
hardware the book
talks about is seriously high end proprietary stuff
and out of my
price range, but it looks like the pro kit alright.
Hopefully I'll
gain some insights that I can use with our
relatively low-budget 100%
software libre approach...
Reguardless of how well we emulate or fail to, the
principles of usage for the tools are similar. It
should be a helpful book. I've never read it or
anything written by Bob Katz. However, I do have some
excellent third party derived conclusions. Someone
said, that Bob Katz said, he likes applying eq to left
and right channels as seperate entities. Instinct
tells me that's a pretty bad idea.
He, Katz, said, or so it has been said that he said
that he likes using reverb during a mastering session.
I've been of the opinion that mastering engineers
don't have any business applying reverb to my mixes.
Never! Shortly after chiseling that into a rock on the
mountain, I turned a 180 when a filter killed the
dynamics of an intro that was full of tape hiss.
Reverb could have restored the sheenie shimmer. If you
know what I mean, then at least one of us does.
Hopefully I learn something once a year.
