A kind and steady heart can conquer doubt and fear

The gorgeous theme song from Babe: Pig in the City, written by Randy Newman, performed here by Peter Gabriel at O2 World Berlin with the New Blood Orchestra. Watch out; if this song catches you in the right mood you might find yourself tearing up. That’s right, tearing up. Over a pig.

This is from someone’s video camera, but has surprisingly good audio.

Although, I must say that I love every note his cousin Thomas has ever written.

OK, well, if you're not in the mood for a sappy song about a scrappy pig, how about a disturbing German comedian?

Oh wow, those are the biggest ears I've ever seen on a human. The guy must have to hang on to something nailed down in a strong wind.

I'm betting they had an auxillary mic

Yeah, that was my thought too - probably a good stereo mic plugged into the camera. The concert sound was top-notch too, I'm sure.

Since recording devices are so common a lot of acts have adopted the Grateful Dead model of allowing people to record or plug into the soundboard. At a lot of shows you can buy a recording of the show you just saw for a modest fee.

That might be it, since this clip has 720p HD sound quality.

True - I don't think this one is from the board, though. You can hear crowd noise at the beginning that sounds live.

Just a good mic and an awesome PA system.

LOL@ this eejit reviewing a LAN cable on six moons audio, and convincing himself that it's making his system sound better:

Yet with the Acoustic Revive cable I heard details that seemed intrinsic to master-tape studio sound, i.e. a direct microphone feed. This impacted bass definition, an incredible amount of treble information and more. Suddenly I couldn’t imagine to listen to the Accuphase without it.

Embarrassing (for Stereophile) puff piece on Peter W Belt, whose products are supposed to work by virtue of Morphic Resonance (not even kidding):

Dudley: The audio enthusiast who is new to the world of what we might call, for lack of a better term, anomalous engineering, yet who is open-minded about the subject—where would you recommend that person begin, in trying to improve the sound of their music system? Which technique, or which P.W.B. product?

Belt: I would say the cream. You get a jar, it costs you ú20, and you can do a lot. You can just go 'round your equipment, 'round your room . . .

The problem, for those who wish to do experiments, is that once the cream is on, it's done its job. So you can't do before-and-after experiments. That's why we eventually found prismatic foil, or what we call Rainbow Foil. Early on, Peter was trying different sticky-back plastics: creaming the sticky-back plastic and attaching it to a piece of equipment of different things around the room, then listening, then taking it off. And he could hear the difference. So he thought, "My word, that's what I want! That's the technique I want, to be able to demonstrate my cream!"

And then, when he realized that the different colors of the sticky-back plastic also had an effect . . . well, then we found the prismatic foil, which actually has all the colors. That then became an all-around, general-purpose foil.

re: #15 Varek Raith

Like I said, the bass is much stronger than before. It is clearer, deeper and more dynamic. It is palpable and intensive.

Just painful...;-)

Haha, I get a kick out of articles like this. As if some some rinky-dink audio manufacturer can compete with the metallurgy of an outfit like, say, Belden wire.

The funny part is that someone's paying $200+ for a copper LAN wire when silver is a better conductor.

Yep plus the fact that the digital data packets your music is made of are either successfully sent down your LAN or they aren't - there's no room for improving on the 'quality'.

Then I need to run around attaching cream-smeared pieces of coloured foil (the colours are important - yes, precious) to everything in the room!

It took me 2-3 minutes the other day to explain the concept of Magic 8-ball to a Brazilian co-worker. I think we're giving the poor guy a shocking education in US slang and culture.

works for me

● It is certain ● It is decidedly so ● Without a doubt ● Yes – definitely ● You may rely on it ● As I see it, yes ● Most likely ● Outlook good ● Yes ● Signs point to yes ● Reply hazy, try again ● Ask again later ● Better not tell you now ● Cannot predict now ● Concentrate and ask again ● Don't count on it ● My reply is no ● My sources say no ● Outlook not so good ● Very doubtful

Hmm... Looks like the answer set for just about any press conference or candidate debate held in the last 15 years.

So we've been secretly ruled by Magic 8-Ball since 1956 or so, have we?
