If you're into the history and the art of recording music you might like this.
Starts Monday night 11/14 and runs for 8 weeknights. It will probably stream on PBS.org for free for a couple of weeks after airing.

I've been looking forward to this since I read about it last month and would have missed it tonight if not for the forum... thanks Doug.
And in the spirit of "Paying it forward;" According to my local listings, there are two episodes tonight back-to-back starting at 9 eastern, so broadcasts will probably vary depending on your local PBS carrier.

I watched most of episode one and was somewhat disappointed. Given the title of the series, "Soundbreaking" and the fact that it has to do with the art, production and technology of the music recording industry, there was no mention of two real geniuses of the recording industry - Jimmy Bowen and Tom Dowd. Especially Tom Dowd. Not only did he work with and develop and/or produce the sound of some of the biggest names in the business (Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Allman Brothers Band, Derrick and the Dominoes, among many other notables) he also designed and built studio technology that revolutionized the electronics used in the studio. Hopefully these two masters won't be forgotten in the future episodes.
Jimmy Bowen:

BTW, if you're enjoying "Soundbreaking", I highly recommend the Tom Dowd documentary, "Tom Dowd and the Language of Music"

Keep on pickin'!

| Hopefully I can get this on demand on Xfinity. Also, there was a book released on recording techniques on the Beatles. However, the cost was more than $700 so I'll wait for a used copy. |

| It was excellent seeing Martin and son discuss 'Tomorrow Never Knows.' Likewise Phil Specter. Outrageous. |

IMO the early analog tape tricks are way more interesting and innovative than digital processing on computers. For example, slowing a tape down a whole step and recording vocals, and then bringing the tape back to normal speed. The vocals will have an elf-like quality. And chopping and splicing tape to get certain effects and loops. I'm reminded of the Beatles tune Mr Kite, where George Martin played an antique organ and then asked the engineer to cut the tape into pieces, throw them up in the air, and then splice them together at random. The result was this creepy vintage organ sound.
