RDK Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Great article. DuNann's long been my favorite engineer. One of my best sounding LPs is an original Stereo Records pressing of "Poll Winners." Sounds amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bill Barton Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks for the link. What a fascinating article! And he lives "just up the road" from me too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtodde Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks for the link. What a fascinating article! And he lives "just up the road" from me too... That is a great article and it gives some insight into how the music was recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) Another big thanks for posting that! I'm a big Contemporary/Roy DuNann/Howard Holzer fan, and am constantly amazed whenever I play one of their recordings. Fascinating article!

JohnS Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks for posting Porcy. DuNann's sound was great and had a special quality, if it's not too sacriligeous I prefer it to RVG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I remember reading that article when it came out (and when I actually subscribed to Stereophile). Good interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 great thing about it is that he reiterates how basically simple the recording process, with this kind of music, is: 1) good room 2) good microphones 3) close miking 4) no heavy isolation - permit a natural sound space with a modicum of baffling 5) clean signal path - the best recording I ever did was with myself, Roswell Rudd, and a quartet in Verna Gillis's storage room - we had good mikes and a nice analog 8 track and I set it up myself - Roswell told me it was the best anyone had ever captured his sound -and it was done on a budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this event will find its way to YouTube or some other site where more people can watch it, in addition to those lucky enough to attend in person.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 <li>Wigville Inc. : Shorty Rogers/Shelly Manne Modern Animation on the West Coast what do u think this one is? ---------------- dude roy dunann lives like 15 min. from me (pending no traffic). i did look him up one, maybe i have his address, i dont know. i cant just show up there and bother the guy, he must be in his 90s. i know i should though, right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 You should, but only after you set it up in advance. Cold-calling Lou Donaldson is one thing (and a fine thing), but just showing up at somebody's house unannounced, that's kinda...lacking a critical degree of separation, if you know what I mean.

AllenLowe Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 DuNann is terrific, but I reiterate, it ain't rocket surgery. And it can be relatively easily approximated today, with a good room, decent mikes, and 24 bit recording., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
