Our #ObjectOfTheWeek is also a #NewAcquisition: How To Give Yourself A Stereo Check-Out by Decca Records (1967).
This 12” LP was not only a standard test record of the time, but is also a mini crash course in important audio concepts like wow & flutter, Sound coloration, channel phasing and more.

Our #ObjectOfTheWeek is also a #NewAcquisition for our #ResearchLibrary! On Recording: A Manifesto, by musician, producer, studio co-owner, and thinker Chris Schlarb is a beautiful 50-page philosophical treatise on the art of recording that’s focused on intent instead of gear. He & his wife Adriana opened Big Ego Studios n Long Beach, California in 2015 (the same year we opened our museum), but Chris has spent a lifetime absorbing recording knowledge.
