I heard what Pink Floyd was watching on TV

DPS busts the myth about the ear orgasm.. I am not one for pricey, state-of-the-art audio equipment, but i will throw $30 at enhancing the quality of my experience of anything. I did not, however, expect the degree of upgrade this little app provides. I listen to itunes at work and whether its through earphones or the built in speakers on my mac, this app significantly increases the quality of sound. I’ve heard things on albums that I’ve been listening to for years that I’ve never heard before. in going through “The Wall” for the umpillionth time, i was frozen in my tracks at recognizing the sound of Jack Lemmon’s voice during the intro to “nobody home”. now, the different dialogues throughout the album are plain as day, but to be able to discern with unmistakable clarity what’s on tv in the background behind the screaming father’s voice followed by a little girl’s squeal of pain is an entirely different level. buy this plug-in… NOW

Thinking Green

So many of us try to do our part and think green.  Seems like a cliche kind of term huh?  I am guessing it depends on what thinking green means to each of us.  One person might think that thinking green is just recycling.  Another might go through their entire neighborhood with a waste basket and pick up all the trash they see on the ground.  We think about software based companies that have no physical waste from their products.  This is certainly thinking green without even having to think a whole lot about it.   We all live in a world that moves fast.  Once in a while we should all ask ourselves, How am I thinking green? – Joe Beaty

Joe Butera here.  I’m jumping on this post to talk a little about Bongiovi Acoustics’ contribution to being Earth-Friendly.  I know it always sounds like hype when a company talks about green-ness but it is worth mentioning that the DPS Technology does contribute to less waste.  For instance, in car audio applications, by installing our technology instead of a conventional audio upgrade (new speakers, amps etc.) you are keeping the weight of your vehicle down (better fuel economy) AND not throwing away your old, but perfectly good, speakers.  The DPS technology also allows for the use of lighter or unconventional materials for audio reproduction.  By eliminating more raw materials from any system waste is reduced, efficiency can be gained and our environmental impact can diminish…even if it is just a little.  If everyone is able to reduce/reuse/recycle just a bit, a huge effect can be felt.

Recording Vanilla Fudge Vocalist Mark Stein at Power Station Studios

For the past two weeks I’ve had the honor of working with one of music’s greats, Mark Stein. His group, Vanilla Fudge, made history with their version of the Supremes song “You Keep Me Hanging On”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_Fudge

Recording Mark and his group in the studio makes me realize how folks like him became music icons: Every note that comes out of his body is pure rock and roll dynamite! Energy, optimism and professionalism are ever present during the sessions, and that has translated into a truly great recording!
