וער פארשטייט גיט צו מוזוק??

thanks for the warm welcome mr. hyde park

since you seem to know a little about ken let me ask you this , why do all of his recordings sound so good? im not talking about arrangements or composition, im talking about sound quality. for some reason  i always thought that the usuall recordings sounded overprocessed,  the drums would usually sound like they were coming from a keyboard (again im talking about sound quality not the drummer himself) but then ken burgess came along and ..... wow!!!!! ok, now that we have ilya this has taken a turn for the better (although i think that on lipas keneina hora some snare sounds are a bit to overprocessed) but still when you listen to kens last recording try to take in mind the hat sound from ron vered, its like you're sitting next to him

so mr. hydepark, whats kens secret? does he have his own studio
?

and for the record im not turkish

Yes he has his own studio in Isreal It's called Universal somthing - I don't remember the exact name

do you know who does his mixes

Ken spent a large part of his life at some of the worlds leading studios. He was always involved with the pros, and not the pros that get decided on OLAM HANEGINA forum, i'm talking P R O F F E S I O N A L S. You talking about over processed recording mixing etc.... i wont even start.....He has an amazing studio (so i hear) in ramat gan.... it's called ZOHAR MELODY or something and happyjew, i think it's called the united studios of zohar melody, he's not UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (yet) thats a good name for a studio but i doubt very much some one would open another Universal studios (besides THE hollywood one). I think they don't have an in house engineer as such, the use freelancers. The end of the day the guy has an end product. The only down side though is that he does digital recording as apposed to 2inch (which will always be the favorite) it just does not have the same qualities as analogue..

oh about the turkish

i apologise i meant you sound like a turkish instrument :addSymbol('wink1.gif'); תוקן על ידי - hyde_talk - 08/02/2006 19:16:28

thanks for the info, hydetalk.

i think the debate of analog vs. digital should be discussed further as im sure alot of people have strong opinions on that subject (I know i do i just want to hear others first)

oh, and no apology needed as no offense was taken ( im sure the people from turkey are nice guys).

Thanks hydetalk for clarifying the name. That's what I meant United, I remembered some thing with U-n-i Being that you brought up the analog - digital thing In our Camp Shalva line all projects since Somachtee the rhythm was always recorded in Gal Kol on 2 inch analog besides Idvorov which was recorded in no other place than United Studios by Ken Burgas It does not say so in the US printed labels put on the Israely batch we managed to correct this info Now take for instance the Drums It was played by the same drummer if you want to compare the most possible Idvorov and Shomrim where Shomrim Drums where recorded on 2 inch Analog it sounds totally different but remember that at Ken's place the drum kit, micing and room was different as well But beleave me the instant I got the raw tracks from Israel from Ken I was convinced that I COULD hear the difference and shure enough we went back to analog atleast for the drums it made a huge differents to me

happyjew, i dont think its fair to compare the difference between analog and digital by comparing two different studios!! like you mentioned, mic placement is a big issue there as well as different mics, preamps, compressor, etc. etc

well galkol now has pro tools. they hardly use there 2inch. and even in the same studio you hear a tremendous difference. I like pro tools, great for editing BBBUUUTTT.. for drums and bass, flutes, clarients, trombones (more than trumpets) and strings i highly highly recomend (whenever you have an option) use 2 inch. The tape distorts and you get a rougher harder fuller and BETTER sound. BTW gal kol.... wow the sound in the green room is amazing... i've been to alot of studios and recorded on 2 inch at other places.. the sound there is just amaizing. aperently for singing Ken's place is realy good but .... i don't sing
