    I just learned that Dolby made music like a director makes a film. He storyboards it. The only way to pull this off is to synch everything just like you would a shooting list, shot list, screenplay, dialogue, etc. Pretty amazing I think! Such ingenuity here, TD is the real deal!

    I own three 580s (and a 458). None of them have the pinch roller forward/reverse mechanism working and it seems not to affect playback in any way. As to sound quality I think only fair. When I made recordings with my Pioneer 909 and flipped the sound output between source and tape while recording, I could never hear any difference with the 909. However big difference with the 580s. Checking the frequency response with a NAK-T100 and vvarious tapes such as Quantegy 456 and Maxell UD-XL, the response is pretty poor. At least 10db down at 15khz and some large sags in 8-10khz ranges. Everyone should use that software to see how their deck is actually performing. For brake pad replacement, I used pieces of a vacuum cleaner replacement belt that I cut apart and glued to the brake mount. The rubber belt material grabs the reel tables great, they stop on a dime now.

    Plugins were ruined for me the instant they were put into clouds and sign-in walls owned by the distributors. The most effective way to kill inspiration is being unable to re-open a project because you’ve forgotten the password to Roland Cloud/Arturia whatever, because you haven’t used in a week or two and the license wants to confirm itself.

    Hi, thanks for watching. Yeah, I hear you. How can we be sure. I have since moved to a different room. I posted a video of my DIY sound absorbers. Check out these videos: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oad9zLGrmNDde6w.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/h35oxdKEYayvpso.html I have accepted that acoustical perfection is not feasible unless a room is built from the ground up, so to speak. But, we can do things to get a more pleasing sound with monitor placement, seating placement and some room treatment, and tools like Sonarworks. I rely more on my headphones - Sennheiser HD 490 and Audeze MM100 - than monitors. Oh, and here's another issue. The first time I used Sonar in a different house, my previous mixes sounded too bright. Found that the tweeter circuit in my monitors had degraded with age and I was pumping up the highs too much. So use all the tools - monitors, room treatment, headphones and check freqs of your recording with a plugins like Nugen Visualizer, and DearReality. Best, Mike
