Sound the final frontier.
The boys from Leamington came up at the weekend for a visit and brought Brian Roberson along with them as a guest. He is all about sound and has done a couple of steam chips for Simon- a Std 5 and a West Country. They are quite complex sounds to achieve so we spent quite a bit of time discussing them. Brian Daniels brought one of his 40s with him which sounded great with the addition of Brians sound. Brian kindly did two of mine - and I can say is - there’s 40 sound and then there’s Brians?! A whole new approach to the subject now you have to remember that sound is where I made my name so I understand that where you put the mic makes a big difference, also understanding the way it all works. The 40 sounds like a box of spanners when starting up and as for when the compresser kicks in - FANTASTIC! But this is not the end yet, not even the begining of the end, there’s still a long way to go as we need to lengthen the sample, a bigger speaker to get a better bottom end and a chip with a graphic equalizers. If you ask me there’s one guy who will get there and that’s Brian Roberson – you can buy his product at Howes of Oxford.
