As talented as Joe Jackson is, he kind of fits in with the narrative.

"After mastering crappy hip hop, rap, and metal demos for the last 20 years I know what a modern mix sounds like. But at home I don't really listen to anything after 1995. Most of the music I listen to is from 1965 - 1988. Today's music is over compressed, bright and the cloud (90 - 250 hz) is severely pulled down. This is the modern sound.. Most of the 1960's mono mixes are anything but neutral. They are usually super bright. Motown and The Beatles don't have this issue.
As for Pet Sounds the 1996 remix sounds good. I find the mono mix to be o.k. And unless you have the Steve Hoffman mastered version of Pet Sounds then you have not heard Pet Sounds. According to Steve the quarter inch full track master of PET SOUNDS was mixed bass heavy. Every version since it was released: 1960's vinyl, cassette, 1970's vinyl and CD had the bass radically cut. The exception is the Steve Hoffman mastered CD and vinyl. So PET SOUNDS is anything but balanced or neutral.. Not the master (super bass heavy) and not the commercially released CDs and vinyl that have had the bass cut big time.
All the multitracks of the 1960's were: @ 15 ips..... 30 - 15 000 hz +-2db Record/Play
Tape machines like the Scully 284-4 and 284-12 had the 30 ips speed option. 15 ips...... 35 - 15 000 hz +-2db Record/ Play 30 ips...... 50 - 18 000 hz +-2db Record/Play
But the 30 ips option was mostly used for copying..Because of 60's tape head/ transport design the signal to noise ratio and wow and flutter specs didn't change with the 30 ips option.
Since 1972 or so multitracks went right up to 20 khz and higher. So there was more music. Or should I say more top end. But THE WHITE ALBUM (1968 mixes) are anything but neutral. Today there is more top end. All those 60's recordings are missing the the last half octave. Are there any notes that high above 15 khz? Nope. But there is more to music than fundamental notes. There are lower and upper harmonics. For example the upper harmonics of cymbals go up to 50 khz. We can not hear up to 20 khz, maybe 22 khz for some young people.. The 16 hz (C0) lowest bass pedal of big Church pipe organ has lower harmonics down to 10 hz. This is how you can hear a bass guitar on a clock radio. Upper harmonics."

I still think it's some sort of demented sock puppet, too similar to other members and StEve-O himself.

He looks like the kind of guy that'll take a few dumps before he wipes his ass.

Well that implies he wipes his ass ever.
Actually, he kind of looks like if Devoe was in a car fire.

What a fraud. They’re treating this guy as if he knows why he’s talking about when he’s either a) lying outright and/or b) stealing the technical info from another source. The reason I at least think Steve knows who it is (or is him) comes from the fact that poating about vintage tape machines and shit would normally be a cue for Steve to come down and nitpick or discredit all of the information, because he needs to be seen as the real expert on this stuff.
They’re like horny teenage virgins so desperate to hear stories from the guy who brags he’s had sex with his girlfriend but you wouldn’t know her and she lives in the next town.

It doesn't matter if the tape recorders at Western recorded up to 100KHz. By the time Brian Wilson had bounced them down three or four times, there was fuck all left above 5KHz on the rhythm tracks,

I’m tempted to start up an “unclejack” account and brew up some entertainment in the threads. But also too lazy. I’m giving this one away for free, anyone can feel free to take this concept and run with it if they wish.

I don't know about all that, I really don't. I managed to get this kunt gorted a few times. I reported his poat that called IR Shane an "idiot" and poof.....gone.

Does he work for a recording studio or Enron? I’ve never heard of a studio going through so much turmoil!
