Listening to a variety of recordings that Dave G provided, we attempted to determine which ones had been recorded in Adelaide studios. Personally, I found the task impossible although Dave maintained that he could tell an Adelaide recording, particularly from certain studios. I find this a bit sad; the implication that a given set of equipment, personnel and space will result in a given sound or possibly flavour to the production. I think the lesson was supposed to demonstrate to us that it is possible to produce quality audio product in SA and the question was raised that, in these circumstances, why don’t more musicians come here to give birth to their sonic babies? I reckon it comes down to vibe; you’ve slaved over these songs, cried over them and they mean everything to you, surely you want to get all hyped up about giving them to the world. Perhaps for most people this means going somewhere that the air fairly pulsates with the vibrancy of overpopulation, I dunno. Later we listened to Adelaide engineering examples in the form of remixes from Lauren, Kristie and Shane – well done, guys! You have set the standard...
Here is an example of an Adelaide recording - guess who?
