That's ridiculous-

spend $30-$60 on monitors, get an sm58 and an interface and now you're
a recording studio. That's the dumbest most ill informed article I
think I've ever seen.

Is this news or advertisement copy?

"For about $3,500, including the price of a new computer, you could
be sitting in front of a DAW on a kitchen table with capabilities
Martin never dreamed of."

With the obvious exception that Sir George had four incredibly talented
individuals to work with.

Not to mention (even in the 60s) better acoustics than his kitchen...

And Sir George is incredibly talented in his own right.

No mention of having a noisy PC appear in the back ground of recordings.

You just provided a perfect counter-example to your own argument!

On Usenet (and the internet in general), you get near-instantaneous
rebuttal to any even remotely questionable statement (and frequently
to correct statements as well) Ever seen a retraction in print that
wasn't burried at the bottom of page H17, two weeks later? (If it
appears at all.)

Best have your sound card modified to the professional 1/4 inch mike jack,
for fully professional results....

The local state university music department is not much better.... it's a
crime what they do for their students senior recitals.

It's called lack of talent.

I'm all for the recording revolution so I don't want to discourage
anyone but that article sounds to me like it was written by employees
of the gear he mentions. Comes off pretty much as a advertisement for a
few pieces of gear.

Yes, my 'day job' is working nights for USA Today
at the Nashville regional printsite.
(part of the local Gannett owned newspaper)
No, I'm not a writer.

Sorry to hear that ;-\

No mention of _ANY_ acoustic treatment,
and he's sitting in front of full length
plate glass windows.
No mention of Linux as an operating system.
(bwaahaha)
ProTools is listed as a choice of software
but the article seems to imply that you might
have a choice of hardware (true only if the
choices are DigiDesign or Maudio)

Sure, it possible to make a record this way. BFD. Try making a GOOD
record - there's the challenge.
