someone hire a new sound engineer for The Digital Blonde

Digital Blonde has put out some excellent tunes lately. But have you guys noticed that every production by him is completely dirty, un-clear and a mess for your ears? damn, i think my shit tunes made with fruity (see sig) even sound clearer than his. someone must hire a really good sound engineer to help saving those awesome tracks :\

thanx for losing 10 seconds of your life reading this

hehe yeah, they sound pretty damn dirty. still sounds cool though (apart from gothica!)

Posted by FuzzyGreen on Sep-16-2003 16:35:

Agreed. Good artist, bad audio quality

good artists, bad vinyl rips

Posted by FuzzyGreen on Sep-16-2003 18:48:

No, it's not the rips, because I have the vinyl and it's quite bad.

I always thought it was supposed to be like that... either way I love the sound. dark and diiiiirty.

i have gothica and noctone on vinyl, both are clean as a whistle...

Yeah his latest batch of tracks sound very dull and unexiciting. By dirty, they aren't referring to audible artifacts on the vinyl, but actually the frequency range. Lack of highs, lack of acoustic space, etc, etc.

i love his productions.
they always sound dark and dirty.
i think they are meant to sound like that.

I think that Tiesto needs a new engineer too.

I did notive that Mandrake - Universal Soul (DB Mix) was a bit of a bitch to mix. Agree with you, but still good tune. Just have to practise more...

Posted by Special_K on Sep-16-2003 23:58:

hmmm I have most of his records. They all sound fine.

his remix of Universal soul is awsome....in my top 10 for this year for sure. And yes the current vinyl rips of this tune that are out there SUCK, thats hardly the producers fault.

not to sound n00b but.. what do the sound engineers do?

Posted by joeh on Sep-17-2003 01:04:

classic that you all thought it was a shit engineer, but it was ur shitty 1337 rips.

Posted by beema on Sep-17-2003 03:57:

agreed, they all sound really "dirty," and unbalanced/unmastered.

I have A few of his vinyls and Electra as well, they all sound ok to me, maybe u shouldnt listen to hard and just enjoy the tunes.

Many of their tracks do sound unprofessional. If they meant to do that, I think that's retarded.

Posted by noikeee on Sep-17-2003 15:21:

well i would definitely consider being the rips but.. it's like 4 or 5 tunes with the same problem and even on mixes/livesets we can notice a lack of sound quality when a digital blonde track comes in :\

it could be just his style but still those are bitches to equalize on a mix
