Yes ladies and germs, techbytes episodes, produced by Roy
Schestowitz have made it to the college campus.
They are currently being used at a fairly well known college in the
audio engineering program.
as it turns out, the techbytes audio casts are classic examples of
how *NOT TO* produce a quality audio cast.
They have enough classic errors in them to become the perfect poster
child for what not to sound like.
Congratulations Roy Schestowitz!
You've made it to the big time!

Ahhh, is this similar to the Gary Stewart/Flatfish angle we saw some
time ago when he banged on about his claimed audio skills?
So you are Gary Stewart after all.....not that it wasn't what everyone
was saying anyway and not really a surprise. You are more transparent
than one of Steve Ballmers shirts.

Not Gary but I do agree with some, not all, but some of what she
says.
As for Roy Schestowitz's audio skills they border on zero.
Any first year audio engineer would have a field day with the crap
he releases.

In anycase Roy is not an audio engineer so I don't suppose any comment

*.wav[/quote]
What direct to disk recording software for whatever OS and architecture
existed in 1981? One thing is for sure, the .wav file format didn't
existed at that time ether, because it was introduced with Microsoft
Windows.
1981 was the era of 8-bit computers with 64 KiB RAM and indeed the IBM
PC was introduced that year, it lacked a Hard disk drive (Winchester
disk called at that time). It might have had two 5.25 Inch floppy disk
drives and 640 KiB RAM at best, nor did a AD/DA converter (Like GUS or
Soundblaster) existed for it.
On top of that a 3 minute recording in 16 bit 41Khz would take up about
30 MiB for a .wav file, which would require 30 5.25 inch 1.2 MiB (HD)
floppy disks, which neither existed right then.
The first AD/DA converters where produced for 16 bit machines like the
Commodore-Amiga and Atari ST.
I used such an AD/DA converter (connected to the parallel port) on the
Commodora-Amiga 500 and you could record /short/ 8 bit 11Khz samples of
a couple of /seconds/ at best, without a hard disk and with a total of 1
MiB RAM (512 KiB "chip-RAM" and 512 KiB "fast-RAM") and that was already
in the early 1990's.
High quality direct to disk recording was simply a no go in 1981.
Goblin, Homer and MeToo® are all (ex) Commodore-Amiga enthusiast, who
have enjoyed multimedia long before it was available on the Wintel
platform. Who the hell Flatfish thinks he's fooling?

Direct To Disk doesn't mean recording on the hard drive.
It means recording DIRECTLY TO THE LATHE that cuts the master
stamper, In other words, bypassing the tape machine.

What a fucking moron you are.
Somehow you have managed to confuse direct to disk recording
techniques with recording to a hard drive, back in the 70's or early
80's.
That was your first self nuke.
Then you go blathering on about flatfish?
That was your second mistake.
And of course you finish up with a grotesque image of fecal matter

Direct-to-Disc at AES
by Robert Auld
These days, the term "direct-to-disc" means recording to a computer hard
drive. But in the 1970's, it referred to the audiophile technique of
recording directly to a vinyl-disc cutting lathe, without the
intervention of a tape recorder. It was a notoriously difficult way to
record; the musicians and all concerned had to record a complete Lp side
without any serious musical or technical mistakes. Otherwise, it was put
another lacquer on the lathe and do it over. But the gain in sound
quality was considered worth the trouble. (As typical commercial Lp
releases were cut from fourth-generation analog tape copies, the
improvement in sound offered by eliminating all those layers of tape and
electronics was not illusory.)

An MP3 sample is included, which again seems rather pointless.

I think he means he /subsequently/ digitised the "direct-to-disc"
record, not that he personally recorded the live performance directly to
a WAV file.

My first experience of home music production was running Aegis
Audiomaster (progressively from I to IV), and The Ultimate Soundtracker
(again progressively from 1 to 2.6). Later I used tools like Protracker,
Art Of Noise, Octamed Pro and Octamed Sound Studio. Mods like the
soundtrack for Amegas, an Arkanoid clone, and "Kawai K1", a mod by
Starbuck of Spreadpoint, really fuelled my interest in "tracking".

still much prefer the "tracker" paradigm.
These days we've got far more sophisticated hardware and software, like
MilkyTracker and Renoise. Here's Andrew "Necros" Sega talking
about the evolution of trackers, from the days of the Amiga to present:

He's more of a DOS/Fasttracker guy than an Amiga guy though, but still
it's people like him who really made the tracker scene what it was. You
can hear their influence, and often a blatantly plagiarised verbatim
copy of their early work, in pretty much any "chart music" you hear
today. Here's just one of the more obvious examples, featuring
Timbaland:
[quote]
Timbaland's plagiarism controversy occurred in January 2007, when
several news sources reported that Timbaland (Timothy Z. Mosley) was
alleged to have plagiarized several elements (both motifs and samples)
in the song "Do It" on the 2006 album Loose by Nelly Furtado without
giving credit or compensation. The song itself was released as the fifth
North American single from Loose on July 24, 2007.
The original track, entitled "Acidjazzed Evening", is a chiptune-style
4-channel Amiga module composed by Finnish demoscener Janne Suni (a.k.a.
Tempest). The song won first place in the Oldskool Music competition at
Assembly 2000, a demoparty held in Helsinki, Finland in 2000. According
to Scene.org, the song was uploaded to their servers the same year, long
before the release of the song by Furtado. The song was later remixed
(with Suni's permission) by Norwegian Glenn Rune Gallefoss (a.k.a. GRG)
for the Commodore 64 in SID format - this is the version which was later
used for "Do It". It was added to the High Voltage SID Collection on
December 21, 2002.

Here's a documentary about the controversy, in Finnish:

Timbaland's version is a blatant rip off, as you can hear in the video.
And here's Timbaland's extremely arrogant and unapologetic response:

So Timbaland blatantly stole Nelly Furtado's song, and yet if anyone
downloads his plagiarised copy without paying for it, they end up in
court for copyright violation.
The whole "IP" system is a twisted joke.

He's talking about /vinyl/ discs, using an analogue recording process

that doesn't use a master tape intermediary stage.

Direct-to-Disc at AES
by Robert Auld
These days, the term "direct-to-disc" means recording to a computer hard
drive. But in the 1970's, it referred to the audiophile technique of
recording directly to a vinyl-disc cutting lathe, without the
intervention of a tape recorder. It was a notoriously difficult way to
record; the musicians and all concerned had to record a complete Lp side
without any serious musical or technical mistakes. Otherwise, it was put
another lacquer on the lathe and do it over. But the gain in sound
quality was considered worth the trouble. (As typical commercial Lp
releases were cut from fourth-generation analog tape copies, the
improvement in sound offered by eliminating all those layers of tape and
electronics was not illusory.)

An MP3 sample is included, which again seems rather pointless.

record, not that he personally recorded the live performance directly to
a WAV file.
