Is "Angel" an old Hoofy sock puppet? Not seen since 2004:
Gee that posting style looks familiar.....

I would say with 100% certitude that Hoffman wrote that. I guess he took my post to heart and is going out of his way to entertain us with his insanity. A lot of her (?) posts reek of Hoofy. Plenty more....

Good time to ask a question. In 1966 my small homtown in Bishopville only had 1 copy of Pet Sounds for sale when I went to buy it. It was the Duophonic version! That is how I heard Pet Sounds until So Tough/Pet Sounds came out. I really appreciate the mono but I do like the panning of the dogs and train on the duophonic. Who did the Duophonic mix and did he just pan the ending on tape or on the fly as it was cut? Thanks! I saw the Duophonic tape but didn’t copy down the initials of the engineer who created it. I didn’t want to embarrass anyone. Bullshit. Capitol would have never let ol’ Light-fingers Hoffman near an original Capitol master tape (let alone in a vault full of them). OK, time for an experiment. First, read the quote about STeVE not wanting to embarrass anyone. Next, take a look at this old glamour shot of Herr Tonmeister: Now, remember the many Heartbeat-City-like screwups that have peppered STeVE’s “career”... (Just a reminder why Stereo Central means so much to so many.)

Didn't somebody in a recent thread here point out that some recent McCartney deluxe set conclusively proved that Hoffman is a liar? Something about the set having photos of the actual tape boxes that clearly show the dates of every time the tape was pulled — and none of those dates are anywhere close to any of the times that DCC claimed to have had access to the "master tapes"? How did STeVE explain that one to the "McCartney scholars"? Heh! And didn’t What’s-his-nuts who is THE Beach Boys tape guy state several times STeVE had a copy of Pet Sounds (a DAT, I think) not the actual tape.

When I first read this I thought you were kidding. A long time ago I stumbled on Hoof’s forum by accident really. He was touting himself as some sort of “legendary M.E.” I thought this is interesting and decided to check his page. However, right from the GETGO I noticed something was off kilter there. The more I kept reading all I could think was this Hoffman guy is like no M.E. I ever seen. He has no room, no gear, doesn’t do bread & butter jobs, has no technical section to talk shop, NOTHING... just a “fan club”. His “JBL mix cloning techniques “ and “5k Beatle boost bullshit “wore thin with me VERY quickly. Also, I found some of his “Habits” to be rather downright shitty. Generally as a rule, Audio Engineers don’t openly diss their peers. Therefore, I decided to ask him some questions and was promptly BANNED on more than one occasion. Frankly, it pissed me off. That’s because Initially, I wasn’t rude to him. All I tried to do was ask him some questions which ANY professional M.E. would have no problem answering.. expect for sTeVe. “ Revered in the biz” uh, yeah. He’s just blowing smoke up the SHites asses. In fact, you will NEVER hear his name mentioned in A.E. circles. He’s a total NOBODY and a FRAUD on top of it. That corny ass story telling he spoon feeds to SHites is such a Joke. Hoof saves the day with “Breath of Life”... what a fucking clown! douchemarimba said: Nope, no kidding. I guess I just didn't pay attention to him. I wasn't there to worship at the altar. I didn't even know who he was when I signed up. I saw "music forums" and started reading, and then posting. Besides, I wasn't going to be spending $50 on a CD or $12,000 on a turntable. Good for you. It's audio snake oil. Choose a $6,000.00 speaker cable, truck battery cable or a fucking wire coat hanger. It makes ZERO difference on sound quality. If you ever wondered why the typical Shite is a clueless idiot when it comes to audio... That's because their belief system is rooted in consumerism INSTEAD of audio fundamentals. The number one fundamental they should start with: * The Human ear is flawed. (Nobody has got the ears,BUCKO.) The Equal Loudness Contour (aka Fletcher Munson) proves this fact. In layman terms, your ears do NOT process audio frequencies at the same volume levels. Note the graph below: see how fucked our ears are? It's only around 83-85dB where you find the "sweet spot"(blue line). This is where you hear best representation of the audio frequency spectrum. However, 85dB is loud, Especially for prolong listening. As you see at softer volumes, Low and & High frequency is less. It's also one of the reasons why SHites as easily fooled by snake oil and remasturbation . The concept of Volume Matched A/B testing is lost on them... Another fundamental rule: *Be aware of Expectation bias bias & Placebo effect. Audiophools seem to think they're special snowflakes and exempt from this. Everyone is susceptible. I don't care if you're a SHite or top tier Engineer, it's something you have to watch for. If you expect to hear a change, you will. In fact, one time I was joined to a Rec forum that was filled with Shitey "would be Engineers." They swore up & down they had "Golden Ears" and could hear the sweat dripping off a fly's ass.( sound familiar?) Anyways,they started making fun of another member who was using a cheap condenser mic. (a Neumann knock off) They said it's shit and NO WAY did it sound like the real deal. I decided to stick up for him. I went into my studio and found the shittest mic I had. A cheap Radio-shack dynamic mic. (with the crappy cable built into it) I used it to record a sound sample and made a copy. I then eq'd one copy to sound brighter then the other. Also, I made sure each sample was level matched in volume. I uploaded both copies and challenged them to tell me which is one the expensive Neumann? Of course, they chose the brighter sound sample. I then told them what I had done. Boy were they fucking mad! In fact, some of them were in denial and said they're both Nuemann. From some strange reason, I was never able to log in after that...

Speaking of fucking clowns....
Please please PRETTY PLEASE pay attention to STeVE! Come on! He's on his knees begging you. Ask him shit about some hack gray market shit he did back in his supposed glory days. Go on, damn it. Do it! Now! So who "requested" this, I wonder? Let's see. The last post on this long dead thread was made on November 2001. That's nineteeen fucking years ago. Hoffman is getting as desperate as Trump. He must be frantically trawling through old threads, any threads, anything that might make him feel like anything other than the worthless piece of washed up shit that he now is. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, asshole. Go fuck yourself, Steve. By request. Reopened by request. Steve Hoffman, 32 minutes ago forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/beach-boys-question-for-steve.1269/page-2"Reopened by request" (Translation- I'm so lonely...) sTeVe, why don't you call the Pucci boys,seeing how you're goombah and all. You can always tell them: Sono un pagliaccio molto triste. I'm sure they'll understand... testa di cazzo!

STeVE is less Fletcher Munson and more Dunning Kruger.

Didn't somebody in a recent thread here point out that some recent McCartney deluxe set conclusively proved that Hoffman is a liar? Something about the set having photos of the actual tape boxes that clearly show the dates of every time the tape was pulled — and none of those dates are anywhere close to any of the times that DCC claimed to have had access to the "master tapes"? How did STeVE explain that one to the "McCartney scholars"? Heh!By deleting peoples poats.

It's 2020. When is STeVE going to start plotting his comeback? Surely he must know a SHite with the knowledge to rip a Pablo Cruise Cee Dee that SteVE can re-EQ? Or consult on the process, anyway. I'd say it's a wrap for him. Besides, he's too busy with his other "career";Online Panhandling & checking his depends undergarment every 15 minutes for leaks.

Strange thing is, the LA master for Pet Sounds went missing right around the time that the DCC came out. Linett stated that he used the New York backup for the tracks on the Good Vibrations box. But now we're getting in to inner SHite territory.

Bu...but...but STEVE told us that Paul McCartney himself, personally as it were, popped by Chez Hoffmann to offer his, personal is it were, approval of the Breath of Life©® on STEVE's remasters. STEVE wouldn't lie to us. Never. Naw. Would he?

One more thing most, if not all, STeVE's "anecdotes" have in common is the phrase "at any rate" (which he is used to saying when hoping for work...i.e. "I'll remasturbate that Gary U.S. Bonds hits CD for you at any rate. Five bucks and lunch a good rate?").
This generally comes after he has given us his usual "I was there" spiel, but is wrapping up his bullshit story.
Example:
"I was at the last supper, were YOU? It was Thursday, April 19th, 33 AD. I was working on The Apostles Greatest Hits CD and just happened into "Moses on the Water", great little fish joint owned by Saints John and Paul. I walked in and Jesus saw me and waved me over. Neat! I sat between Peter and Paul. The fish sandwich there was amazing. Jesus asked me how I managed to bring out the midrange on the chanting of the Apostles first single. I guess I just have the ears, bucko. Then they brought some butter out and Luke said 'just like the midrange in your remasturbates, STeVE!' Heh. Jesus treated me to a glass of the finest wine in all Nazarene, but the waiter said they were out. Suddenly I look down and there's wine in my glass...Jesus WINKS at me and laughs. Neat!
At any rate, turns out I was the LAST person to see Jesus alive. He told me he was having some problems with his contract, but I didn't think anything BAD would happen to him.
Sometimes I can still see him giving me that wink. I dream about him often. Yikes!"
Read any one of his diatribes and you'll see exactly what I mean.
