Great first song, considering current events. And not that they have much of a chance of coming to the NY/NJ area, but I NEED to have the Flat Five on my program!

paul - when is the heavy stuff supposed to hit?

Listener Baby:

Baby.. Ask Greg his opinion of the best thing that ever happened to mastering, and the worst thing that ever happened to mastering?
  11:20am

Bobbettes = #1 Hitmakers
  11:40am
clarke:

i was hoping they would be able to get in the fla/lsu game!!
  11:40am
clarke:

i guess little damage to g'ville - which is good~
  11:41am
paul:

They postponed the game on Thursday. It may be played at a later date, and it may not.
  11:41am
clarke:

yeah - if either team beats bama - they will probably play the game
ha ha
  11:42am
clarke:

so the game probably won't happen!
  11:45am
paul:

It's quite possible it will be cancelled altogether.
  11:47am
clarke:

glad to hear gainesville was spared... they still have The Fallout Shelter downtown??
  11:48am
paul:

Good question. They probably do.

The Beatles were a brotherhood until Yoko Ono came along
  12:11pm
Mike Sin:

Man, I think I live for interviews like this... it might be generational, but the whole trend of "brick wall" mastering ruined a lot of music for me. I still mainly listen on a high-wattage stereo with hi-def speakers -- music mastered that way digitally sounds so thin and harsh through that set up.

Baby.. Finish John Lennon story from last time?

DD!!!!!
  12:26pm
Dean:

The missing bottom may very well be a function of the cartridge and turntable setup. Set up right, a turntable can deliver deep bottom end.
  12:30pm
Jim:

C'mon - Just turn the original up louder, and then louder than that - more visceral - more dynamics.
  12:35pm
tough guy:

highest dynamic range
  12:51pm

wow, this is a MOST FASCINATING discussion!!
