Hoffman has no fucking clue what he's talking about. I'll bet the clueless dolt has never set foot in a recording studio. It's been years since he last heard a live instrument.

Hoff once claimed he is the only one who ever does ![subtractive EQ'ing,]() which is just another in a long list of delusional quotes of his. I call it "reverse EQ". Subtract instead of add. First of all, it keeps the tape hiss way down because you are losing some of it when you subtract. It also "opens up" most harsh recordings (like the Orbison and Who hits). I took out a smidge in the upper mids on the Orbison and all of a sudden the rest of the spectrum just falls into place and it sounds natural and musical. The trick is to know when and how much to do this. I've never seen another mastering engineer do this (other than KG). They always just add EQ and load up the song with EQ'd tape hiss and bright, unnatural sound. Why, I do not know.  It's a typical Hoofman quote; there is the self-glorification, the bashing of any other individual who has ever had the gall to operate an equalizer & finally the utter cluelessness he has come to show time and time again. Anyone with a tiny bit of knowledge about sound engineering can tell you this is complete horseshit. There is no right or wrong in either boosting or cutting certain frequency area's, just as long as it sounds good. |

What a fucking scam this guy is running. I should be ashamed at myself for not being banned by now.
What’s the one thing I could post to guantentee a quick banning? Maybe that will keep me off that shitshow of a forum.

Maybe that will keep me off that shitshow of a forum. You could go out in a blaze of glory, but remember, your poat will get scrubbed by a gorf before more than a few people see it. It might be better to come up with something subversive, but not so obviously derogatory. A quick, "fuck you, STeVE!" would do the job, but you'd be wasting your one bullet. The trick is to get people to laugh at Daddy, even though they don't realize that's what they're doing. |

On a side note, your avatard Keith is starting to look like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from the Muppets.

Instant ban : mention MCA tapes and sticky fingers, add a touch of "how old are you really?" and maybe ask about John Oteri's whereabouts.
More subtle would be perhaps posting something lame in a fairly popular thread, then editing it just prior to the cutoff to something more risqué. Might avoid the ban hammer for awhile.

Or simply put the link to this fine site in your sig line. |

How about starting a "Hey, what happened to the MoFi engineers" thread? :-)

Hahahahahaha! $75 for a G-VG copy of an original US pressing of J. Geils Full House. The one that pops up every three LPs in the used bins at your local record show....anywhere USA.  That would sell in 5 minutes with 38 "likes." |

STeVE's favorite words to describe tone controls are wide, floppy, fiddly and loose. Sounds sexual. Sounds like any of his "thousands" of remassacres. But it's okay though because the midrange on of them is buttery |

He's hoping for more of the same now and he just has no idea how lucky he is that everyone is just ignoring the old crap he was spewing |

Hmm, what do you call the EQ when you only 'subtract' midrange? |
