Jimmy Van M Balance 010 3 CDs 2006 FLAC
Hercules Montero
Released by Mack Avenue Records, For Jimmy, Wes and Oliver echoes the format of the original Smith/Montgomery summit meetings, with a balance of big band and quartet tracks. To complete the core band, McBride called on another longtime friend and collaborator, Mark Whitfield, to play the Montgomery role, while regular CMBB drummer Quincy Phillips anchors the ensemble.
Overall, the XM4 has a largely inoffensive tonality that is also balanced enough to not throw the general timbre of instruments off. A precise and calculated tuning designed with intentional colouration.
This is a balanced dog food recipe that my veterinarian recommended to me a few years ago. I want my dogs to live long & healthy lives, so I make their food myself! I like knowing exactly what is in their food. It can get pricey, but hospital bills are even pricier. Healthy food = good health!

We're entirely overwhelmed with all the emotions and joy that come with this in such a beautiful way. Gabe is the most amazing thing that's ever happened to us and we're grateful for a happy, healthy new addition to our still new little family. But naturally, there's a story to be had...
29 weeks into the pregnancy, even though Gabe was growing healthily inside, Alicia was diagnosed with a serious condition called Vasa Previa (Google it man). The resulting prescribed treatment involved her moving into Pennsylvania Hospital to be under close monitoring for the following 5 weeks, and then having a planned C section at 34 weeks. This was both an amazing blessing in that this condition gone undiagnosed is one of the leading causes of still births worldwide, but also a bummer in that she had spent the previous several months reading and listening to everything she could get her hands on about birthing, and she had proudly landed on the decision to have a totally natural birth. This was now totally off the table.
In addition to all that, she'd be spending over a month alone in a hospital room in the middle of Philadelphia winter, in the middle of a global pandemic. Only I was allowed to visit, and even though she did end up with her own room throughout her stay, that meant that she was stuck in a room, mostly alone for over a month. Although they eventually gave her the OK to step outside now and then and say a quick hi to our boxer dog Fran, and I brought her by often. But it was a long month. My wife is one of the strongest people I've ever met and she plowed through this whole thing with deep breaths and smiles. Hell, she even figured out that taking 16 full laps around the hallway on her floor was equivlent to walking a mile, so she did that 3 times every day to keep the blood moving and keep the baby healthy.
As always, all I had to do was follow her lead and we both stayed strong and postive and got through it with the help of our amazing families and friends, and the amazing staff at Pennsy. And thanks to iPhones, we got a ton of the whole experience (argulably more than we should have ;) on video.
For a few years now I've had a song kicking around called "My Hope" that I've been playing live but never really recorded. It's morphed a few times, but was always lyrically just kind a list of the things that I hope that good people can have in life. Kids were always in mind when I'd play/sing it, and when we found out Alicia was pregnant, I realized the reason I never recorded it was becuase it was supposed to be for my kid. So I made a few changes to the lyrics and then called on my wonderfully brilliant artist/producer Bay Area based friend Scott Mickelson (Google him man) to help me bring it to life from opposite sides of the country. We worked on parts and arrangements via Zoom for a bit, and I eventually sent him a single Cigar Box Guitar track (holla to Deepseed Guitars), a few vocal tracks, and he did the rest.
When the song was all done, Alicia and I decided to take footage from our Gabe-related journey and make it the official video for my first release in what has been a few years now. $(".tralbum-about").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_about"), "more", "less"); lyrics My Hope for you is that you will discover everything the world needs you to be.
And not just the things that only serve the others, but what your heart has cried for so loudly.
My Hope for you is when you're starting over, that it can feel like something bold and new.
And not like the things so cumbersome and cluttered that you decided not to take with you.
My Hope for you is that you'll be forgiven, and learn to forgive when it's on you.
Because not everyone will mean to hurt the others.
Sometimes they can't help it, they just do.
My Hope is that you're hopeful when the gray sky swallows every bit up of the blue.
And the storms that wash away all the old lies leave at your feet something you can use.
And it won't be now
And you won't know how
But somehow you can do anything if you believe.
I'm me because of you.
My Hope is that you give someone a reason to wake from sleep when they're too tired to.
Because we're just moving one foot, then the other through the world that we were born into. $(".lyricsText").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_long"), "more", "less"); credits released June 20, 2021

Installing the Inspiration Preamp 1.0 was a snap: I simply removed from my system my Simaudio Moon Evolution P-8 preamp, and connected the Preamp 1.0 to my Simaudio Moon Evolution W-7M monoblocks using Analysis Plus Silver Oval-In balanced interconnects. My Marantz AV8801 surround-sound processor and a Simaudio Moon Evolution 780D streaming DAC were connected using the same. All components were fed power from a Torus Power AVR2 20A power conditioner via Cardas Clear power cords. I left my Rockport Technologies Atria speakers and Kimber Kable Select 6063 speaker cables right where they were.
The JBL LSR308 definitely have a deeper bass than the Amphion One18. I augmented this by connecting the JBL LSR310S subwoofer to the Amphions. Switching back and forth between the two pairs of speakers was now much more balanced, which made for a better comparison. The JBL LSR310S actually matches with the Amphions very well and rounds out the bottom.
I wanted to not only bring the keyboards back to the forefront in rock music but also strike a balance between classic vintage sounds and more modern textures. In this multi-part series, I will describe the different keyboards and synthesizers, both hardware and software, that I used on the album. You can read Part 1 here.
1. Bitrate Control: Bitrate affects both audio quality and file size. Higher bit rates like 320 kbps offer superior quality but result in larger files. Lower bitrates such as 128 kbps reduce file size but may compromise quality. Experiment with different bitrates to find the right balance.
First, you need to decide in what format you want the audio from the CD. As noted, I prefer FLAC these days. Given how relatively inexpensive storage is, I no longer need to scrimp on space for the most part. If space was an issue, ripping the files to mp3 format at, say, 192 kbps at a variable bit rate would probably be the optimum balance between decent quality and small size. But I prefer the best quality sound with no real regard for the size of the resulting files. It helps that I store all my music on a dedicated file server that runs Plex. That solves two problems: I have lots of space and Plex will transcode the files if I ever need that done (if, for example, I want to store the music on my phone and want it in a different format). So, my preferred file format is FLAC. (Another option is OGG, but I find not as many audio players work as well with OGG.)
Steve, is the technology you use able to fix a balance problem where something is too low in the mix? For example, for some reason the vocals on Communication Breakdown from Fillmore West 1969-4-27 are way lower than the rest of the gig to the point where you can hardly hear Plant. Wondered if something like that was easily fixable. Cheers!
I hope people will forgive me for suggesting this but I've often wondered if the opposite could be done on those 1975 soundboards where Plant is struggling vocally. Taking his voice down in the mix on those painful notes and adding a bit of reverb on it might make certain gigs way more enjoyable. When I made my Best of 1975 compilation, I discovered that some of the '75 boards have such a similar EQ and balance, I was able to fix some Plant vocal cracks by editing in the same beat/bar from another night without it being noticeable. Felt like sacrilege though (even if Page did the same thing with TSRTS, HTWWW and the DVD) so perhaps treating Plant's vocals would be a better solution. Anyhow, thanks for all your hard work, Steve.
