Lyricists they admire around 31 minutes: Courtney Barnett Andrew savage parque courts Alex Levine so so glows Drive by truckers Mountain goats John Samson weaker thens
This is exactely what's wrong with the world - real music, great song, true to themself and only a few thousand views... well, but, it's not about quantity, it's about quality... the whole album is exactely what i needed but this song is stuck inside my head - so thankful to TA ! By the way - europe isn't that far away (just hoping to see them live one day 🙂) !
Oh, and New Jersey has some really beautiful parts. All states have armpits and beauty in different parts. I blame NYC for using NJ as its dumping ground and urban commuter sprawl.
The ending on this with the group vocals beats the album version by a mile. Also get local business back on streaming cowards thats your 2nd or 3rd best album.
It's up to the record company who owns the record whether it's available to stream in a particular region, it's not anything to do with "cowardice" on the part of the artist
@@TitusAndronicusTheBand fair enough that makes sense. It's a shame, that whole album is hugely underrated. Glad to hear you aren't trying to shun it or anything.
for the true nerds: 1-inch tape provides higher fidelity and dynamic range versus 1⁄2-inch, but tape cost is significantly higher. Very few mastering studios have 1-inch tape machines today due to the expense - mainly top studios in LA, New York, Nashville. Machines that handle 1-inch tape are Studer A820, Ampex ATR-102, and modified Tascam 85-16s. But they are far less common. Almost no budget DIY home studios use 1-inch due to the scarcity and impracticality of 1-inch tape decks. There are some plug-ins emulating 1-inch tape like Slate VTM, Waves Kramer Master Tape, Softube Tape - but none are exact. For vintage cassette decks, the Tascam 122MKIII comes closest to 1-inch fidelity, but still falls short. In summary, 1-inch tape provides the highest quality analog tape saturation, but scarcity and cost limits use to only the top mastering studios. Emulations can approximate the sound. But for budget home/project studios, 1⁄2-inch and 1⁄4-inch tape is much more accessible and affordable. -- 1/2 inch tape is the standard for mastering because it offers a good balance of sound quality and affordability. 1 inch tape offers superior sound quality, but it is also much more expensive and less common. There are a few reasons why 1 inch tape is so rare: It is more expensive to purchase and maintain 1 inch tape machines. 1 inch tape machines are larger and heavier than 1/2 inch tape machines, making them less portable. 1 inch tape is less common than 1/2 inch tape, so it can be more difficult to find. Here are some machines that master in 1 inch: Ampex ATR-100 MCI JH-24 Studer A820 I am not aware of any low budget mastering engineers who use 1 inch tape. Here are some VST mastering plugins that emulate 1 inch tape: Waves Abbey Road Studios TG Mastering Chain iZotope Ozone 9 Here are some vintage cassette decks that might emulate 1 inch tape: Tascam 388 Fostex 488 Studer A810 MCI JH-24 It is important to note that no cassette deck can truly emulate the sound of 1 inch tape. However, the cassette decks listed above can produce a sound that is similar to 1 inch tape, especially when used in conjunction with a good mastering plugin. --- Mastering audio to tape, especially to larger formats like 1/2 inch and 1 inch, has been a practice for many years. Each tape width provides a different character to the sound. Here's a breakdown of your questions: Why is 1-inch tape rare? Cost: 1-inch tape machines and the tape itself were more expensive than their smaller counterparts. This made them less accessible for many studios. Practicality: 1/2 inch tape was often sufficient for many mastering purposes, striking a balance between audio quality and cost. As a result, fewer studios felt the need to invest in 1-inch systems. Limited Production: Fewer 1-inch machines were produced compared to other formats. As digital technology advanced, the demand for analog tape machines decreased, making 1-inch machines even rarer. What machines master in 1 inch? Some of the most renowned 1-inch tape machines were made by brands like Studer and Ampex. For example, the Studer A80 and the Ampex ATR-100 series had versions or configurations that supported 1-inch tape. Low-budget mastering engineers using 1-inch tape: While specific engineers and their equipment choices might change over time, it's rare to find "low-budget" mastering engineers using 1-inch tape because of the cost and maintenance of such machines. Those who do use them typically charge a premium due to the unique sonic character and the increasing rarity of the machines. VST mastering plugins that emulate 1-inch tape: There are several tape emulation plugins that try to capture the character of analog tape, though not all specify a particular tape width. Some popular ones include: UAD Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Waves J37 Tape Softube Tape Slate Digital Virtual Tape Machines Vintage cassette deck that might emulate that: No cassette deck will truly emulate the sound of 1-inch mastering tape, as cassette tapes are a different format with a distinct sonic character. However, some high-end cassette decks from brands like Nakamichi (e.g., Nakamichi Dragon) or Tandberg were known for their high-quality sound and might give a pleasing analog warmth. Remember, while equipment and format can influence the sound, the skills and ears of the mastering engineer play a crucial role in the final outcome of any track.
I wandered into this show and didn’t take this band seriously until they started playing. I still remember this song and feeling like I was into something good. Spot me and my ex girlfriend getting thrown around bud front at the end. Miss her, and I miss this band.
This album came out when I was 14 and just starting to forray into writing music with my friends. We all connected over our love of this album. We shared a lot of great memories and formative experiences with this as our soundtrack. Needless to say, The Monitor means a lot to me! Thanks so much!
