SXSW I

SXSW I

So I'm sitting in traffic on MOPAC, the north/south expressway in Austin, listening to Willie Nile sing "Streets of New York," a tune that can be thought of as his "Jungleland" from his latest album, <I>Streets of New York</I>, on the CD player of my rented Jeep Liberty.

Ry Cooder/Robert Baird/ITunes

I read with great interest this piece on Ry Cooder mastering with ITunes. Shock! He is not the first to use a car audio system as a final mix check before pressing. Scary, Uh?

I ran a test with JA's white noise from the Stereophile's Editors choice Disc Sampler and Test CD. I uploaded it into ITunes and then ran 1 minute of stock sound into my desktop using Cool Edit 2000 and my outboard M-Audio ADC.
