Poinzy Feb 26, 2017 I'm still reworking stuff digitized from a set of 78's. It's hard to recover the harmonics from worn shellac recordings.

Poinzy Feb 26, 2017 I hate vinyl as a recording medium. I even hated it when I was a kid. I don't hate the stuff that's recorded on it. I want that preserved.

Poinzy Feb 26, 2017 I don't love reading technical articles either. But you get much better info from them than you do just chatting on an audio forum.

Poinzy Feb 25, 2017 Guys on Gearslutz are bitching about Apple de-emphasizing pro computers in favor of consumer toys. I'm glad I switched to the PC platform.

Poinzy Feb 25, 2017 I'm working in a dinky home studio, for Chrissake. You'd think guys working in full-fledged professional labs would do better.

Poinzy Feb 25, 2017 I'm amazed, sometimes, at what pass for professionally restored and remastered recordings. I can often spot gross errors by "engineers."

Poinzy Feb 25, 2017 Again, how about doing a little background reading on your own, instead of trying to get forum members to do research for you?

Poinzy Feb 24, 2017 How hard is it to do a little background reading? You can tell which people use TV as their primary source of information.

Poinzy Feb 23, 2017 I wish I could explain to people just what exactly the Izotope Ozone 'Imager' does, but I can't, and Izotope probably won't tell ME. Lol.

Poinzy Feb 23, 2017 I'm always afraid of getting blamed for causing a ruckus on a forum, even if it was unintentional. So I'm an extremely cautious poster now.

Poinzy Feb 23, 2017 Doing the shopping preliminaries for a new computer. It's so much easier when you aren't a computer gamer. Plus I hate heat and noise.
