The gate keepers have always exploited the artists. ....So Spotify is nothing new except new technology for the same old exploitation.
I think we used to get 8¢ per record sold. Of course who really knows what we actually received out of that. as none of us could read the books. So yes we got screwed every which way we could. But it was a lot of money when I was 18. So like we used to say ... 'You"re either in the business or you"re not'.
btw ... funny you listed that as we had a song in 'Almost Famous' although we didn"t get paid for it as the record company kept it all

Back in the old days we used to accomplish this by swinging the mic. Much easier than moving the speaker

Of course business 101 should be in everybody"s basic education. It is amazing the misconceptions the general public has about business operates. In particular the current Covid situation has made that more clear to me.

Was Ichabod already taken?

What's interesting is that in a couple of articles I've read in the pop recording mags, there are a few (assumingly famous based on their quoted credits) engineers who aren't really sure what equipment they're using. One that sticks in my head is the mixer who didn't know what the monitors in his own studio were.
So is that shame on him for not knowing or good for him, he"s just gonna make it work with whatever?

you actually have to get intimately close to someone who is actually infected to get this. You can choose to believe that or not however there's no denying that I'm the living proof.
Yes, you have to get close to someone that is infected. But since it looks like 40-60% of those that have it are asymptomatic, how could you know?

So what, exactly, was this "curve" the NY governor beat?

We were high school sweethearts. I met my wife on my first day in high school. We went together for about 7 years and then got married .... 47 years ago. Couldn"t be happier. I guess she"s just not very discerning. ð

An update since I couldn't edit my previous response ... Reason 10 was updated to be able to run on Mac Catalina.
I use Reason as a scratchpad for songwriting and to do remote recording. I"m probably not the typical Reason user so adding dozens more synths has no real value to me. It would be nice if someday they decided to add the ability to drop markers though

Roll up a C note and Hold it up to your nose. Then push the swab up through it. Then you can think about ...... nevermind

I use both a Radar system and a Roland OctaCapture. I would say it makes very little difference, if any.

I see this posted all over the place Has anyone fact checked it?
So first assumption is that 1% of the entire US population will die. I"m thinking that something like 70% of the population would give us herd immunity. So should all these figures be decreased to reflect that? That would put the total deaths at 2.3million.

I think you have to remember these transformers were designed NOT to color the sound. So while they contribute some non-linearity that is easily measurable they shouldn"t change the audible results much if at all.
Now you could design a system that purposely drives the snot out of them. Or you could just get a fuzz box

If a restaurant worker wears a mask for an 8 hour shift, adjusts his mask, then handles your food, is that better or worse than it just dispersing?
If the question is are you safer with surface borne than airborne virus particles, my understanding is surface borne would be less of a threat. You still have to get enough of them in your nose to become infected.

Remember, scientists change their minds as they get data from other scientists.

Maybe we'll find that anyone who ate a lot of bacon and drank excessively is much less likely to get sick, while people who have a strict organic diet are most likely to die
I'm already on that experiment. So far, so good!
I am reminder of this from 'Sleeper'

Don"t forget, you can use multiple return/pickup mics in different locations.

No doubt, our world is gonna make some major changes because of the pandemic. My best guess is that we will be semi shut down until a vaccine is developed and deployed, so another year maybe.
I think live music the way we know it will take a serious hit and never come back to what it was. But because of that inventive people will come up with new and very different ways ways to make it work. As an example, take a look at the 'Scary Pockets' project. They have built a huge online following and looks like a pile of money to go with it (considering they invented Patreon to go along with it).
There are tons of opportunities for creative people and those that are just going along for the ride will suffer some.

Building on what Mike Rivers said...
When I first read that statement I though it meant 'it picks up the room' But later I though it meant 'it honestly hears an instrument on the other side of the glass'. So maybe Mike can chime in.
How much 'room' a mic picks up depends on whether you are close micing or not. But when you compare a directional mic to an omni, yes the omni picks up the room in all directions. But a directional mic pick up half the room at double the intensity that the omni would in that same direction. That can work two ways.
So yes, if you wanted to pick up the entire room with one mic an omni would do it. But if you are close micing, inverse square law applies so by comparison you may not actually get much 'room' at all.

Back in my early Tascam days before affordable reverbs, we used to drop an Auratone cube at one end of a bathtub and a mic at the other and then lay a sheet of plywood over the top of it. Otherwise all we had was springs.

Another interesting development is that more people in the 20-30 age bracket are getting hit by the new spikes. Although they don't die at the same rate as older people, they can get really, really sick.
And they will continue to be re-spreading the disease.

I am fond of omnis for a lot of things. Most mics start life as omnis and then are made directional by porting the enclosure and adding some tone shaping to compensate for it. Typically omnis have very flat response and making them directional exaggerates their frequency response. I used to successfully use a pair of Peavey measuring mics In sort of the Recorder Man style along with a kick mic for recording drums (untilI got my Coles ribbons).
I think people worry too much that because omnis don"t discriminate about the direction of the sound source there will be too much bleed. But they forget (or don"t know) they are not as sensitive distance wise (-6dB) so they don"t 'reach' nearly as much as a cardioid mic.

No ... but I"m hoping this actually works.
