Fox News political commentator and resident curmudgeon Bill O'Reilly visited "The Tonight Show" to talk politics, and unsurprisingly, the conversation was less than humorous.
Jay Leno asked O'Reilly to evaluate the current crop of GOP presidential candidates. And what, asked Leno, did O'Reilly make of Rick Santorum's plethora of arch conservative remarks on social issues?
"Everybody has dopey past comments… We gotta cut him a little slack," O'Reilly said.
"He'd be wise to just say, 'Look, I said what I said, now let's get into the economy,'" he added.
He said that whoever wins the nomination, he'd like to see Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie picked for a vice presidential candidate. And as for Sarah Palin?
"She has her niche audience, but the governor is happy where she is on Fox News making a fortune," he said. He also commented on President Obama's prospects come November.
"It's all economic for Barack Obama. Americans like him. On a personal level, they think he's a good guy," he noted.
Earlier in the show, Leno had defended the president in his own terms — with a little ridicule of Newt Gingrich, whose campaign is on the wane, thrown in for good measure.
"Newt Gingrich said today that President Obama does not recognize the threat from radical Islamists. Really? Then why does he keep killing 'em? He's bumping 'em off left and right," Leno remarked.
Check out the interview with O'Reilly below.

Jesus….. I know this is 4 years later, but the amount of monday morning quarterbacking on this one is amazing. Anyone who can publicly criticize a mix like this need to post their work, and let's see who can mix. Put up or shut up.
P.S. Tons of bands that I work with, who sell records, love this track!
Before tonight I'd never heard of this band. I downloaded the hires file. The sound quality is fine. As a showcase for the mic pre's it's surely a success. Kal's voice is pure honey here. Unforced, relaxed, "natural" and smooth.
The criticisms regarding lack of dynamic range have merit, however, even for "a dance record." And no, as listeners we're not concerned at which stage compression is applied. In my opinion it's fair to consider that every song deserves a chance of drama; these are small scale stories being told.
When the song is bopping' along at the fast clip, sure, it's appropriate for there to be nearly no dynamic change — it's just drive-drive-drive. But there were two opportunities missed, one at about the halfway mark and later towards the ends.
These bridges, when things relaxed for a little while, were followed up with drums and horns that *should* have swept us up and away, really lifted up the sense of scale of what was happening. But it's actually strange to hear horns come in a'blazin … and the music's no louder. That's when it becomes particularly obvious that the preceding quiet part wasn't as soft as it should have been, and that this is more of a mechanical recording and less of a musical performance.
You'll get no criticism from me concerning the mix. I'm glad the drums were kept fairly generic, not sharp/snappy, as there's nothing interesting being played there. The percussionist was nailed, brother! Clear, and clear of tone without being in-your-face obvious. Same with guitar. There when it needed to be, not when it didn't.
Keep up the good work, and don't be afraid to permit some drama shine through next time — it was written into the song.
Hello Elias,
I have been studying this video for a bit ..
As a Recording Engineer i would like to really say the Tracking is Very good considering the time factor .
But the Mix can be opened up way better than it sounds right now .
The Perception of Depth can make a "hollow" mix sometimes, if you know what i mean ..
The only thing in this track that really bothers is the lack of creative input from the band ..
The Bassline could have really helped if it was played better .. The Drums and Percs needed more thought too …
Kalmia's voice is quite off key … If time was a factor, you could have tuned it in Pro Tools ..
Did the band feel this way ?
The Hi-Res mix helps , but i would love to get my hands on the Raw Tracks of this session ..
Is that possible in any way ??
The raw tracks can be found here:
Use the links to the .zip files that are in the paragraph at the top of that page.
Regarding your comments, I guess that we didn't feel that any of these things were problematic. The band had 95% of the creative input for the song, in terms of arragement. The only thing the engineers and I did was get the tones that would make the record move.
What surprised you? That I was unfamiliar with the french-horn recording technique you mentioned? Yeah…sorry…I never heard of it.
I've never tried recording a clarinet by putting a mic in the bell, but I'd be willing to try it. Usually my mic technique goes like this: I 'scan' the space around the instrument with one of my ears, and when I find the spot that produces the sound that best suites the recording, I put a mic there. Then I listen to it in the control room to make sure the mic is picking up what I heard. If not, I'll have an assistant move/rotate/replace the microphone until I get what I want.
This initiative is really nice. Watching the video adds to the experience when listening to the song later on. It adds the emotion bit to the music. Kalmia is very much into it and it's always great to feel this.
I hear a bit of reverb/echo on the main vocals … is that wanted or just the studio acoustics ? (or me )
I'm into a different type of genre, but I can truly say I ENJOYED this song. Watching this all come together thru all the ups and downs was great! I do some recording myself with a band so I know the feeling of trying to get it all together. Really like the song, so now I have my own copy! Keep up the good work!
Hi there,
Just found this site, and I think its great! I don't post comments on things much online but thought I would chime in as you have been getting such negative comments. Im sorry. Sometimes people in this industry can be brutal! Whatever happened to constructive criticism? Elias, it is very honorable that you are able to take these comments so well and even pick out good things from them. That is a rare trait of a truly great engineer/producer!
As for the sound I think its great! That room sound is really cool. Bass and drums have a cool vibe together. Sure it is compressed sounding, but I can totally feel what you were going for! You can really feel some stuff like the bass, and drums etc right up front but can still really hear that room on a lot of other stuff. Its cool, and there is no 'rule' saying a really compressed sound can't be cool. Don't let these guys get to you, especially when they are looking at a waveform in their program of choice and telling you it sounds bad…. They should use there ears, not their eyes!
Again though its very admirable that you are taking some things that have been said and learning from them. We are always learning in this industry, I just wish people were more cordial about sharing their thoughts. Please keep it up, Ill stay posted.
You can download a lossless version of this song by clicking on the button to the right of the video ("Came Out Of a Lady … Download This Track").
Also, the band has plenty more recordings available at http://www.Rubblebucket.com
First you had the naysayers and playerhaterz, now you have to deal with the "moaners"… This is a great show Eli! I can't wait to see more episodes. That idea about posting multitracks is great, lets see the moaners put up or shut up. Your calm trouble shooting demeanor is a great asset in the studio. This is the show i want to see…
Take care,
What a wonderful idea! I loved watching the great video that presented the story behind the recording. I also respect the engineering decisions that went into creating it, including "overdriving" the bass, kick, toms, and tuba. I love the vocal work and the tune. The mix builds quickly, and there's a lot going on thoughout.
From a strictly stereo image/illusion perspective, the only thing that I struggled with was the somewhat non-musical tones resulting from overdriving or clipping a few of the instriuments (see the link below which shows this in the waveform) in the mix. These prevented my brain from beliving the accoustic space that envelops the vocalist, guitar, trumpet, sax, and percussion (excluding the drum set). I wouldn't even mind it, but I happened to notice that there is a nice sense of space there. I really wanted to enjoy this dimension of the recording, but the overdriven instruments kept getting in my way, collapsing the image–interrupting the illusion. Make sense?
Again, I get the thick, funky, "overdriven" sound that you were going for, and I think that it works overall. I'm also grateful to you guys for sticking your necks out there to give this a go. Music production and apperciation is obviously a very subjective art, so not everyone is going to love every track no matter what you do. I do hope that you stick with it! Cheers.

Dear Elias,
let me first stress this: I believe that you are absolutely doing the right thing here – we need real studios with real rooms and professional equipment, you can not achieve the same magic in a converted basement or garage, no matter how many gadgets you throw in there and no matter how spacious your abode. This said I like to see people going back to vinyl, not for nostalgic reasons but to marvel and study how all this information went into these grooves which we are still discovering with ever better cartridges and playback equipment. Then read a lot and try to kind of reverse-engineer the processes; if you don't have a mentor who did record in those not too distant days to learn from. I mentioned the fight in my post and as people who have an understanding know, it was a constant battle between the noise floor of the equipment and the amount of level you could hit it with. This sharpened your skill in extracting just what the essence of an instrument (or voice) was about and your EQ was subtractive 90 % of the time. Also, and this is perhaps as crucial as it is ironic – your mix was presented on cassette tape to your clients. Another huge noise and un-dynamic monster ever so fickle to be consistent from the car to the home to someone's office. Yet there are tapes out there still that knock your socks off; without noise reduction and all. We should have dreamed of such quality delivery mediums as varied and instant and, look Ma – no noise! as we have today at our disposal. One example that was an eye-opener when I was a student: we had to record French Horns, now, everybody has that sound in their head from so many movie scores. But when we put the Sennheiser bricks on the floor and pointed them at the horns we were dismayed.
You could hear everything: the guys breathing, the valves click, the spit cackle- but not that sound. Our teacher had us take a door panel out of an office room, propped it up horizontally behind the players and had us point the mikes at the panel – there was that sound, no EQ, no gates, no nothing. On top of that, now you could actually sweeten that foundation, remember: You can make something bad better but never good – and you can make something good even better. Thanks for devoting your time and resources to this important project.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is after much deliberation that I post my musings here, especially after having left audio- specifically recording engineering, the bastard child of music some twenty years ago. You seem to be skipping the fundamentals, not going back to them as is evident in this track, a textbook case. As any imaging professional will tell you: A camera sees not what our eyes see, we have to make it so. Equally: A microphone is not an ear much less a head between a pair of ears, it is all an interpretation happening in our mind based on experiences past and present. I vividly recall the RCA Studios on Sunset, now long gone with the building itself – A large (Rupert) Neve console, two plates and a gold foil for reverb and maybe 4 or five Urei LA – 4 / 1176 as outboard gear. With all the equipment of today and the blessings that it offers – you would do well to listen to Lee Michaels self-titled album which was recorded in one day in it's entirety, just for the drums alone.
Back then one had to fight more than just capture and then carve the essence out. This said I applaud Benchmark's efforts, I have purchased their products and find them excellent and I think the group featured here merits the attention. It is not my aim to criticize but to hopefully encourage study and a desire to carry the analog knowledge of many decades that had to be fought for so hard into the infant future of digital.
Thanks for the comment. It's good to hear advice from someone who has been in the trenches.
What specifically would you recommend that we do differently?
Did you download the lossless track? If not, I highly recommend it. It's just to the right of the video on this page (MastersFromTheirDay.com). YouTube audio doesn't do it justice…
ps. I'm going to find that Lee Michaels album and give it a good listen
WOW! good work guys n gals. Given that there's a camera crew running around filming everything can be a little distracting no? Great video, I really enjoyed watching this. Given the time crunch, it's amazing all the same. Who's this singer? she's got a great voice. I noticed you gave props to all the behind the scenes crew, engineers etc at the top of the page. However, I may have missed it, but It would be nice to credit the names of the Musicians / vocalist too. Thanks for sharing. Peace. Josef Horhay. Mixing Engineer.
I'm sure Benchmark Dac's are great. That's not the point. Song, Musician, instrument, recording space; microphones, in that order or priority provides 99% of what one hears, qualitatively. Yes, preamps, dacs, compression, gates, eq, mixing is all important, and effect the impact of the final product. I like the idea of tracking a complete song in a day. Overdubbing is the bane of modern music production. As a musician/engineer, there have been several occasions on which to first take of musicians playing together a new song had an energy/magic that never repeats itself, again, even if the performance wasn't perfect, the freshness of discovery is more important than clinical perfection.
Thanks so very much for taking the time to explain things and reminding us that this recording was for fun!
After hearing your side of the story, I don't mind the compression quite as much as I used to. However, I'd still insist the loudest parts of the song kinda turn into a noise blast that induces ear fatigue. Of course this is related to my system and music preferences. Nearly all my recordings are of the audiophile category, so my ears are not accustomed to this kind of production. And I'm not the only one here.
Us audiofools don't have the greatest tastes in music, and we often insist on impractical recording methodologies. We're listening to the gear. Let's open our ears first to hear what you're creating without jumping to hasty accusations.
I'd like to say on a positive thought that the resolution here sounds FANTASTIC. I'm impressed and my ears eagerly await the minimally processed recording. And you've certainly nailed the concept of FUN!
Make those bits byte,
Could you expand on the idea of dynamic compression for a drummer's point of view? Many others and I don't really understand how cutting dynamics necessarily reinforces a beat. Why not lower other parts of the mix and jack the drums? The audio here just feels completely overdriven, which really isn't demostrating the full potential of your DACS.
I'm no recording engineer, but I've never understood why harsh volume compression and limiters are desirable beyond the scope of competing loudness and playback on computer speakers.
Had to turn down my stereo on this one because it was very loud–relatively speaking.
See a graphical analysis: http://imagebin.ca/view/K1FLpA.html
And why is Stereophile linking to this? hmmm….
Hey Joel,
Thanks for the questions…I'd be happy to explain….I love talking about this stuff!
But first, let me say that the goal of this production isn't to demonstrate the full potential of the equipment, etc. The goals, in the order of priority, are:
1. Make a fun and inspiring video about these recording sessions
2. Demonstrate the brainstorming/decision-making process used to achieve a desired musical/sonic outcome
3. Produce an effective track based on a deliberate idea of what that means for the given track (e.g., danceable or natural or ethereal or…)
4. Discuss the outcome with anyone and everyone, such as yourself
The goal for this particular session was to create a dance track. Consequently, it may not sit well with certain people or settings. Nonetheless, we had a goal in mind, and I did my best to achieve it.
Back to your production questions… the compression on the drums is somewhat unrelated to the idea of "drummer's point of view". The "drummer's point of view" is more related to the depth of field. That is, the mix was made to feel like you were sitting in the drummer's seat on the stage. The depth of field is created by the varying proximity of the instruments, from close to far: Bass, Percussion, Synth, Gtr, Horns, Vocals.
The compression on the kick drum is a 3-band compressor. It's purpose is to shape the tone of the kick drum, specifically for the kick to have 'shake-your-booty' impact while still sitting nicely in the mix. If instead I just lowered everything else and turned-up the drums, the balance of the mix would be thrown off. Plus, the tone of the kick is exactly what was in my head for this track…so I went for it!
But this use of compression is somewhat different then reducing the dynamics of the performance (i.e., what is used to boost volume). Specifically, my use of compression on the kick is affecting the micro-dynamics – that is, the dynamics of the envelope of the kick drum (the attack, decay, release, sustain).
So, please keep in mind that this production style was used for this track for aesthetic (subjective) purposes…not to compete with FM radio. I'd hope that all of my productions would transcend genre and be enjoyable for EVERYBODY…perhaps I came up short this time.
Please sign up for future videos…the next video features a delicate yet lush track that is mostly acoustic and minimally processed (and not built for the dance floor!).
We're aiming for 1 per month, but it will depend on what kind of response we get. Be sure to sign up to be notified of new episodes (either via this website or our YouTube page…or both).
Also, if you like the project and want to see it continue frequently, please help by spreading the word (twitter, facebook, blogs, etc).
Regarding all of your feedback on the sonic quality, I need to say:
As producer, I take full responsibility for any issues with the sonic quality of this production, for better or worse.
We had fantastic engineers in Alex Lipsen and Joe Castellon, musical powerhouse Rubblebucket, legendary KAS studio, Gavin Lurssen (!) mastering, and a rack of Benchmark equipment. For any shortcomings in this production, its only me holding it back. I am proud of this production, but any faults are mine to own.
Also I should say, if you only listened to the track via the YouTube video, it shouldn't be a surprise that the sound quality is pot. Download and listen to the lossless version of the track (it's free…available in the column just to the right of the video on this page).
Thank you for your feedback…I truly appreciate it…I want to hear it.
I like what you guys are trying to accomplish, however i also agree with some of the other guys that it sounds clipped and distorded, perhaps the gig was to big for the engineer?, dont know. Anyway, can you tell me more about it?, i mean, what are you guys trying to accomplish with this?, just to show ppl that it can be done? or are you guys selling benchmark products or what?
Cool song btw…
Hey JF,
We built this project because it seemed like a good idea. This series is a collaborative social media project that serves as a platform for several parties to come together and create something interesting.
From Benchmark's perspective, aside from simply getting the Benchmark name out, there are plenty of reasons we are doing this…
As an equipment manufacturer, its important that we actually use the gear and methods within the settings it is built for. This project tosses Benchmark's people and products in the trenches to work together alongside some truly exceptional collaborators.
In the seminal days of music production, studio engineers and producers were also inventors, equipment designers, nuclear physicists, etc. They understood everything from biasing cathodes to counterpoint melodies. Their legacy is a cocktail of ingenuity and aptitude that birthed both modern popular music and modern recording studio infrastructure. They were pretty incredible, so it feels right to propagate their legacy.
Regarding the one-session constraint, it was implemented to keep the project simple, and it also happens to be one of my favorite aspects of first generation record-production.
All the best,
Yeah, sure all these classic artists cut songs, or multiple songs, in one day, but that's because they had top notch tasteful players, and the number one most important thing- GREAT SONGS.
It's a really good start, but this song needs a HOOK. I just wrote a pre-chorus and a hook in two minutes. It's not that hard..and I don't understand why indie bands can't grasp this sometimes.
And I when I say hook, I mean a strong chorus. I know the horn parts are hooks and there's some catchyness going on. I like the island thing the horns are doing and the groove is good.. but it just needs to GO somewhere, you know? Feels too much like it stagnates in one mode the whole time. Bjork part on the end isn't bad but it's too little too late.
Good idea though- I like the fact that you're showing people what happens when music is made in a real studio and not a bedroom!
Yeah man, and KAS is such an AMAZING studio!! The reverb decay in that room sounds like the breath of angels!
Regarding the classic songs, I agree with you for the most part. But as a huge Patsy Cline fan, I crave a lot her recordings that don't have 'hooks'. Some standards that she recorded simply have great melodies and harmonic structures that make you melt. They might not be her most popular recordings, but that doesn't change anything.
Thanks for listening! Sign up so you can be notified when the next video is released. We already recorded the next two sessions, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on them…
Take care,
So little sound for so much cool equipment. There is nothing here, but a really cool bunch of equipment. This could be done with a few quality mics in one take, be done. So much clutter, so little music, there's nothing there. No wonder stuff today is so horrible, if this is how it's being done. Need to go and search how teh Beatles did stuff in teh old days, with much less equipment. This is horrible sounding stuff out of what looks like a really cool studio, with all teh equipment.
I have to agree with Carl E. Recorded and mixed in 6 hours and it sounds like it. In fact it sounds as if it was done in 3. A very slapdash and sloppy performance accentuated by a hack mix and mastering job. Unlistenable by quality standards of any sort and the song and arrangement are as unimaginative as it is boring. You can't just use irregular phrases in the writing and expect that to carry the thing off as being cool. If you're going to do that, it has to be done well. The ensemble sections sound like a bombastic elementary school marching band and you can't understand half of the lyrics. Then the whole thing is mastered to sound distorted like a pop piece of ****. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. The end product lives up to the band's name in the true sense of the word.
And please don't give me any of that "it's not for everybody" crap. If the point of all of this was to showcase Benchmark mic preamplifiers and converters then you've missed your point. This is supposed to be good sound? All you've done is capture the ambiance of a great sounding room.
No, the point of this is not to showcase Benchmark mic preamplifiers and converters. The point is to pose an experiment and then document, observe, and discuss the results. In fact, that is exactly what you and I are doing, so I'd say the experiment was successful. As Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." (Granted, Edison was a bit of a jerk…read about his treatment of Nikola Tesla here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison#Work_relations)
But anyway, my opinion is wholly opposite of yours. Rubblebucket is a fantastic band, and I love the song. I'm proud my mix, and apparently you don't understand mastering if you think that it is responsible for this souding "distorted like a pop piece of ****." The distortion and 'popiness' was already there when it was sent to mastering.
But enough about us, tell us more about you! You seem to be quite an interesting person! And you speak as though you're an expert in this…do you have a website where the rest of us can hear your work?
Thanks for contributing, and please keep in touch!
You're absolutely right. I don't understand mastering. I haven't heard a single record, cassette or CD of mine that was done right. I wouldn't say all, but lots of them have gotten mangled and massacred to point where everything that was beautiful got slaughtered and everything ugly got brought forward. I used to enjoy this business immensely, but now I don't even want my name on it because it ends up sounding so bad. There used to be a time where the process was to prepare and treat the material just to make it so it could get it on a record and sometimes one had to settle and make sacrifices because people were lazy. Nowadays nobody wants it unless it shatters the windshield of your car. And when I say pop piece of shit I mean the practice of mixing and mastering a tune where all the instruments sound as if they are competing for the same space.
Great video, but it would be nice if the audio wasn't ALL COMPRESSED, SQUASHED AND DISTORTED. I downloaded the high res file hoping it would be just that. Instead, I got high res distortion. I then looked at the file in an audio editor and confirmed what I was hearing. Peaks clipped off all over the place. Come on people, don't do a disservice to the audio engineering and recording community by putting things like this out.
Thanks for the feedback. I mixed this in a way I thought was most effective for the track, but I understand if it's not for everyone. Its not for every style, either. We just recorded a group for a future episode and its completely different. If you hear it, let me know what you think of it.
All the best,
Au contraire! The sound is excellent–way better than most YouTube stuff! All bands should record together like this. You can feel it in the playing! Though it's hard to tell, but it seems that that Benchmark gear makes Pro Tools sound ok. Or maybe it's the arrangement, musicians, engineering…Love the Keith Monks stands too! FANTASTIC JOB!
Thanks John!
The quality of artists and song definitely made my job easier.
Ps. Is this THE John Siket ( http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=JOHN|SIKET&sql=11:fpfyxqrgldhe~T4 )? If so, I am a huge fan of your work!
LOVE the project. Thanks for doing it and sharing. I am not nearly as harsh as the original poster, but I have to agree, it's awfully compressed. At least the 88k high rez AIFF. I didn't notice any distortion. But whatever happened to dynamic range? When I ran a histogram in Cooledit, wow, very steep and slim curve way to the far right with the average sound level at about -10db. The variation between the loudest and softest parts were only about 15db. I guess these days of low rez playback devices like earbuds and Youtube, engineers compress the hell out of everything but that's too bad. Compare that to the Telarc recording of 1812 Overture which starts out extremely soft and quiet and, of course, ends with huge cannon blasts. Now that's dynamic range. Please keep up the otherwise great work. I'd love to see a high compression vs. less compression file released to download. One for earbuds and ipods, the other for systems the Benchmark DAC 1 might be hooked up to.
to Andrew ,
haven't heard the track – just enlisted, but for my ears ( I played jazz drums in the '60 – record cys are just killing the music. They think people only listen through ipods and similar junk. I'll keep treasuring my jazz&classical LP collection
though I have to admit that remastering of '60 -'70 – records, especially through Sony's SBM really does wonders.
Sorry, one more this to say:
This track is obviously nothing like the 1812 Overture! This is pop music! Pop music has nothing to do with reality! It's for the radio, for people to dance to, compression is a part of what makes pop music sound like it does … you need SOME compression to make your track work on any playback environment … including the radio and laptop speakers.
Agreed, except that I wasn't considering radio and/or laptop speakers when I mixed this. I mixed it to sound the way I heard it in my head.
I don't mean to sound pretentious, but this is art! I can't imagine a painter choosing color's based on the specs of iPhone screens!!
Similarly, I would expect the painter to create whatever they felt achieved their goals/vision/effect, regardless of 'linearity' w/ respect to reality. So, in the case of music production, I also take liberties to deviate from 'realism'. My aim is to collude w/ my collaborators to induce physical, emotional, and/or mental sensations within the listener. Sometimes the raw recordings of instruments work best towards those ends, but sometimes electronically modified versions of those recordings work better towards those ends.
As producer, my role is to ask the questions that determine the global goal/vision of the production, then aim the parts of the process towards that goal/vision. As mix engineer, my role is to utilize my tools, when necessary, without discretion, to achieve the global goal/vision.
I fear the people commenting that this is 'overcompressed' and it's lacking dynamic range are referring to the mastering stage where it would have been limited etc.. to reach a commercial volume, yeah? It's a very popular thing to moan about .. but these moaners don't discern between mix compression and mastering compression/limiting … so I'm sure they're not dissing your mix Elias! Ironically, things like the beatles and Led Zep were very compressed at times in the tracking and mixing stage (drums, vocals etc..), but the masters weren't peak limited .. so when these people load them into audacity they look better. I find the discussion around the loudness war and 'loss of dynamics' doesn't ever concern the quality of the mix itself, and well MIXED albums, such as recent Red Hot Chili Peppers albums, are written off for audio quality because they are mastered loudly. Did you guys master this in the same session? It's a loud, commercial, modern master, fair enough.
Fantastic mix! Snare in particular – Phat. What kind of compression did you guys do on the vocal? Is the vocal ambience mainly the room?
Hey Adam, thanks for your comments.
Actually, most of the compression was applied in the mix phase. On the vocals, we used a blackface UREI 1176. Yes, the vocal ambience is 95% actual room, 5% plate verb.
We are just about to release the multi-track from this session so you can hear each instrument w/o any processing. We may even have a mix contest w/ a sweet prize!! Sign-up (in the email form by the video above) to be notified.
Hey Glenn, Bootzilla,
Did you download and listen to the uncompressed version (just to the right of the video frame on this page)? YouTube is notorious for destroying the quality of the audio, so don't judge the quality of audio from the video. Download the lossless track…it's free!
Here's my perspective on production decisions. When I mixed this, I mixed it from the drummers point of view. The reason for this is that it is a dance track, so the drums and bass are in the foreground, and everything else goes into the 'depth-of-field'.
Any compression used was not for the sake of loudness, but to put the 'thump in the bump'. The kick is the only instrument with any significant compression. I produced this in a way that I thought was best suited for the artist and song, and the participants are very happy with it. I think it sounds pretty good too.
I know that there will always be some listeners who don't approve of some production choices, but aiming to please everyone would be more of a disservice to the artists/participants then the primary objective to produce an effective track.
Now, the next two sessions for this project sound MUCH different. The next group doesn't have a drum set, they are mostly acoustic, and have an incredibly lush sound… Consequently, my production choices were much different, and it sounds much different.
Check out the next few, and let me know what you think.
Thanks for writing…
Respected Sir,
My name is samson sound engineer. working in local studio. pls help me sending some of the new productions etc coming days. I'll do my level best of my service.
I wish to thank with my core heart for this contacting and aiding for us. it is fentastic show to me and my studio lifes.
Thanking you in anticipation.
God bless you

After the coffee. Before making my NBA championship pick.
The Skinny: If I'm having dreams about net neutrality it may be time for a vacation or more therapy. I made the mistake of rewatching John Oliver's blistering and hilarious takedown of cable companies and net neutrality just before going to bed last night. Today's roundup includes a look at what's driving all the consolidation in the unscripted production arena. Also, broadcast networks get a big win from an advertising agency that agrees to pay for delayed viewing.
Daily Dose: Cable network WE TV, an also-ran in trying to woo women viewers (its primary audience), is now going to try to go after men with new programming and marketing. And to show just how cool the name WE is, the network said it will "call out 'WE' in key words and phrases such as aWEsome, poWErful and tWEet." How about "WEak?"
Gold rush. The race is on among American and foreign media giants including Warner Bros., ITV, Fremantle and Discovery to snatch up small production houses that specialize in unscripted programming. Once one of the last sectors in which independent producers could plant a flag, it is quickly becoming as consolidated as the rest of the television industry. Several factors are driving the land grab. Most of these production companies kick off a lot of cash because unscripted shows are relatively cheap to make. The shows also travel well abroad. However some feel the prices that some of these companies are getting are a little out of whack. More on the consolidation among reality producers from the Los Angeles Times and Hollywood Reporter.
Pay for the delay. In what could be a landmark deal, Variety and Advertising Age are reporting that a major advertising agency has agreed to pay broadcast networks for viewers who watch shows a week after their original air date. In industry parlance this is known as C7 and is an upgrade from the current three-day window of viewing that most advertisers pay for today. Broadcast networks are pushing for C7 because as more people use DVRs, more viewing is being delayed. Like fish though, some ads go bad after three days, especially for movie studios promoting big openings.
No guarantees. Life has no guarantees, so why should ratings for commercials? Oh yeah, because someone is paying a lot of money for those ads. But CNBC is saying it will no longer offer traditional ad guarantees for its daytime viewing, according to AdWeek. The reason is that CNBC doesn't think Nielsen properly measures its viewing audience, which during the day is primarily people at work. This is not a new complaint by CNBC and it is not without some validity. Still, it's a gutsy move, and we'll see how CNBC's advertisers feel and whether rivals Fox Business and Bloomberg try to use it to their advantage.
Drone home. The Federal Aviation Administration is weighing whether to let studios use drones for shooting movies and TV shows. Drones for commercial use have been a no-no in the United States but the FAA may loosen those regulations. The MPAA has been pushing for a relaxation. More on from the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times.
SEC Network fumble? I missed this story from a few days ago (it happens, people) from USA Today on the challenges ESPN is facing getting its new SEC Network distributed. Comcast and DirecTV, the nation's two biggest pay-TV providers, still haven't cut a deal to carry the college sports channel devoted to the Southeastern Conference. As usual, the issue is price and whether every subscriber should have to pay for a channel that will have limited appeal.
Not toying around. "Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" may have been hits at the box office but the toys launched in conjunction with the movies aren't exactly leaping off the shelf, reports the New York Post. "Every kid already has Spider-Man and Captain America," BMO Capital Markets analyst Gerrick Johnson told the paper.

Hello everybody! I'm very happy I've found this website, even though the method of which I used to find it could perhaps be a bit strange, I hope I'm accepted quite quickly into this universe. My name is Tj, or Teej as I'm more renowned as, and I am a veteran roleplayer.
I, like a great many in my generation, started roleplaying on Neopets. Long story short, I hate grammar errors, plot holes, and little girls and boys trying to cyber whilst their parents are in the room over. I quickly moved on to several Proboards sites, and am, in fact, still a member of a handful. There, I perfected not only my character creation skills, but also my length and depth of writing skill bucket with which I dip into my well-like mind.
For the past year, I have not been roleplaying much. The answer, quite simply, is senior year high schooling. Now that that is over with, I am very happy to get back into the circuit and get to the playing of roles.
Now, on to how I found this site. I play Dwarf Fortress, as many of you may also do. Ever since I started playing last summer, I've slowly become more and more obsessed with dwarven culture, and, looking through the Wiki quickly, I was very pleased to find Dwarves as a race! Needless to say, I register as quickly as I could, and...
Nothing. School once more got in my way, and my account password fell into the deepest recesses of my well. After months of mental anguish and torture, I barely kept even the lightest grasp on my Roleplaying skills, and, after Graduation last Sunday, quickly hit up my old sites. Among them was a dusty, seldom used link to this very website, in which I am just now getting to use.
I hope you all welcome me with open arms, as I would to you were you to come and play at my other favorite roleplaying board.

This is an interesting, and maybe a little scary, and almost unprecedented in my experience. Clinton had a core of rabid opponents, and there were the crazy allegations about the "murder" of Vince Foster and the White House Christmas tree that was decorated with condoms, but those were fairly isolated and kind of harmless. Most of the Clinton hate was at least theoretically sourced in flaws in Clinton's character, some of which were borne out to be correct, and the perma-investigations were purely politically calculations. With W, there was the so-called Bush Derangement Syndrome. On the other hand, it didn't spring into existence from January 2001 -- there was a consensus at the time that Gore's gracious concession had smoothed things over and that we had to put the election behind us. No, the Bush derangement syndrome grew slowly over eight years from the stolen election to a war pretexted on lies, to torture, wiretapping and cartoonish levels of arrogance and incompetence. During the immediate post 9/11 time, democrats did rally around Bush to a degree that is in retrospect quite remarkable.
But now. Wow. We are not yet 100 days into the Obama administration, and the right is sinking to depths that previously I could never have in my wildest dreams imagined. There was a fair degree of crazy stuff in the run-up to the election, the whole secret muslim, palling around with terrorists, birth certificate things. I wrote that off as being due to the fervor and heightened emotions that the elections engender. I sort of assumed that the froth would settle down over time. But it seems to be getting worse -- crazier and more intense. Some examples off the top of my head, which are representative but by no means inclusive of the stuff out there:
Early on Rush went on record saying that he wanted Obama to fail. I don't have a problem with that as a nuanced policy critique, which it wasn't, but it was a striking turnaround from the recent times in which anybody daring to criticise the President was tarred and feathered as unpatriotic. More astonishing was the three or four prominent republicans who publically criticized Rush and were obliged to issue groveling apologies shortly afterwards. Ditto to the notion that partisanship ends at the water's edge, as countless prominent republicans criticized Obama for imagined gaffes on this overseas trips.
Teabagging -- yes it's good for puerile double-entendres, and populist tax protests are a fixture every April 15. But the "protests" were kind of surprising given that the Obama budget actually gives most people a tax cut. It's hard to put too much weight on this, given that only like a couple hundred thousand people showed up nationwide, but it's worth a passing mention.
Michelle Bachmann expressed concerns about a "one world currency". Yeah, she's a loon in the best of times, but this comes from somewhere. She didn't invent this slightly paranoiac concern out of thin air.
The word "socialism" has been thrown around so much in reference to Obama and his policies that it's actually lost all meaning. It's a convenient epithet, feeds on right wing deep seated fears, and rallies the amen corner. But again, wow. The occasional leftie who referred to Bush as 'fascist' was generally shunned and shouted down as an unserious, divisive, deranged, unpatriotic dirty fucking hippie. In this brave new world, it's such a pervasive topic that the first question posed by the New York Times in their first interview with Obama was, "Are you a Socialist?" Friday, the headline in the WSJ was "RNC Chair Steele won't call Obama 'Socialist,' unpsetting some." The some, in this case, were some RNC members and Republican members of Congress (!) who want to make the "Democrat Socialist" party the standard term of reference for the Democratic party. This, presumably includes Rep
This was, I think, shortly before he pretended to douse his colleague with gasoline and set him on fire. Seriously, Glenn, get some help.
So, I get the message -- the members of the Party of Lincoln are unhappy with the direction of the country. What's their solution? Secession! (Yeah, ironic, for the Part of Lincoln, I know.) I'm sure it was just some obscure talk radio host who brought the whole thing up, though. What? Oh, sorry, it was the Governor of Texas. Yeah, he was just joking, right? Right, which is why Tom Delay took to cable teevee to explain that Texas actually can secede if they want to, and the Texas legislature is considering a resolution asserting Texas' sovereignty and instructing the federal government to "cease and desist." I thought the whole "nullification" thing was settled along with secession back in 1865, but I guess not. But it's just a few fringe maniacs and politicians posturing, right? Mostly, except for the 48% of TX republicans who actually favor independence. Maybe it's a lower number, but still, what should be an insane, fringe idea does have a surprising level of support down there.
So this is all just harmless talk, right? A little fun, slightly grandiose political theater -- don't be such a buzzkill, Shadowfax. Let them blow off some steam, let them stamp their feet and make some noise. That's pretty much what I thought, too, until I heard about this:
Ohio Militia Leader Calls for "Armed Million Man March" on Washington
This is a little chilling. Yeah, I know, there's little likelihood that ten thousand, let alone a million armed militia members will march on the nation's capitol. But in my understanding, an armed militia descending on a nation's capitol is more correctly referred to as a "rebellion," not a "protest."
Then came Pennsylvania. Richard Poplawski deliberately murdered three police officers with an AK-47. He was a white supremacist, and a frequent visitor to right-wing web sites. His motivation, according to a friend, was that he feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way," and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon." More recently, a Twitter user was arrested by the FBI after getting a little over-excited on the teabagging protests:
"START THE KILLING NOW! I am willing to be the FIRST DEATH!," read aMore disturbingly, this was in Oklahoma City. Timothy McVeigh was also motivated by right-wing, anti-government sentiment. And yet, the fact that the Department of Homeland Security is keeping an eye on political groups with the potential for violence somehow became an item of controversy.
tweet at 8:01 PM that day. "After I am killed on the Capitol Steps,
like a REAL man, the rest of you will REMEMBER ME!!!," he added five
minutes later. Then: "Send the cops around. I will cut their heads off
the heads and throw the[m] on the State Capitol steps."
Gary Kamiya writes, for Salon:
Such obsessions don't come out of a vacuum. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and the GOP have been whipping up hatred and fear of Obama and "liberal Democrats" for years. Joined by the National Rifle Association, which has run false and irresponsible ads claiming that Obama is planning to take away Americans' guns, they have encouraged and helped to create a pathological right-wing subculture in which free-floating hatred of "the government" mixes with a maniacal fetish for guns. Poplawski is the diseased fruit of that ugly tree.Should we be worried about this? Is there potential for real violence? What's the underlying cause? Is it truly just something created and fueled by the right wing echo chamber, or are they tapping into a deeper feeling among American conservatives? I note that Obama's approval is very high among democrats and independents, but his disapproval is just as intense among republicans -- is the extremism borne out of the severe polarization of modern politics, or is the right-wing media exacerbating the polarity and driving the craziness?
Yes, Poplawski dwelt in the most extreme part of the right wing. He is responsible for his action. You can't tar every conservative because a pathological murderer shared some of his or her core beliefs. There has been no epidemic of shootings carried out by whacked-out readers of "The Turner Diaries." [...]
With the collapse of the GOP into the party of Rush Limbaugh, and as Limbaugh and his ilk grow ever more reckless in their attacks on Obama, the boundaries between "respectable" right-wing paranoid hatred and "extreme" right-wing paranoid hatred are getting more blurred. Right-wing fanatic du jour Glenn Beck teased his recent Fox show with images of Hitler, Stalin and Lenin and said that he was wrong to say that Obama was leading America to socialism -- because Obama is actually a fascist. "They're marching us towards 1984," Beck intoned. "Big Brother, he's watching." [...]
If the demagogues on the right had any conscience, the Poplawski case would force them to realize that their shrill ravings border on incitement. But they won't. There are ratings to be maintained and a rabid base to be catered to. If every now and then some disturbed member of the base loses it, it's not their problem."
I'm honestly a little worried about this. As I said, we're only 100 days into the Obama administration, and the intensity of the rhetoric is already over the top. What's next? Where is this going? What will be the talking points in three or six years? Can the sensible, establishment Republicans re-establish control over their party? Can the conservative movement walk this back from the brink?
For the sake of the nation, I certainly hope so.


text: No longer will there be so many alumni of McKinley High hanging around Glee like Trip McNeely coming back to hit on high school girls a year after graduating in Can't Hardly Wait. Heather Morris (Brittany), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Harry Shum Jr. (Mike), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Mark Salling (Puck) have all been dropped from the cast for the upcoming fifth season. This isn't exactly a surprise—four of the five graduated at the end of season three, with Brittany graduating with plans to attend MIT (!!) at the end of this past season—and leaves open the possibility that the characters could return as guest stars in a few episodes. But it gives Ryan Murphy and his co-creators more time over the next two seasons to devote to other graduates like Rachel, Finn, Kurt, Blaine, and then all the carbon copies of the previous characters now populating New Directions. And maybe Will Schuester, if there's time left over.

For those that are unaware, in exactly one month the 3 day ICFP contest will be held again. This contest has been held for 10 years already and has seen a steady increase in participants, especially in the last two years. Curiously, this ties in with my previous post as it seems that this contest has reached critical mass in 2006 to become really big in 2007.
For those wondering what the contest is about, it is hard to specify a specific challenge since the contest is so different each year. The idea is that a problem gets put online and that you have 72 hours to solve it. Each year, a different university designs the problem. Usually this involves one or more professors, a bunch of phd-students and a plethora of master students slaving away for 6 months trying to make sure the problem is not too trivial, nor too hard, and is, of course, interesting.
This contest has several plus points when compared to more traditional programming contests of shorter duration. Unlike other contests, this contest is not simply about pure programming or trivial problem solving, but additionally requires algorithmical insight, creativity and good engineering principles. Nonetheless, clever programming is then required to solve the subproblems of the final solution. Another aspect that I personally prefer over other programming contests is that typically the solution is not just an aha-erlebnis, but usually involves tweaking of the solution to optimize the final outcome. In essence, the final scoring function for the participants is a smooth gradient instead of a sudden step function.
Some typical example problems from the past include:
- Writing a solid-geometry ray-tracer that is scripted by a postscript-like language. (2000)
- Finding optimal driving instructions for a little race car driving over a race-track with a semi-realistic physics model. (2003)
- Finding smart collaborative algorithms for a nest of ants that fight against in an artificial environment against another nest of ants, and then pouring that into a very convoluted "ant-assembly" language. (2004)
- Determining good tactics for cops and robbers playing on a graph trying to outsmart each other. (2005)
The last two years, the focus has switched a bit:
In 2006, CMU came out with whole 'umix' system that they had compiled for a custom vm that the participants then had to write. Once inside this 'umix' system, there were a bunch of really nifty puzzles to solve. From a technological standpoint, the implementation of that umix system was very impressive. I think this might also be one of the reasons why 2007 saw such a boom in participants.
In 2007, given the success of the 2006 formula, a system was designed where DNA would map through RNA to a set of drawing instructions. If one then executed these drawing instructions, pictures would emerge that contained different types of puzzles. To be honest, I think the 2007 contest was greatly an attempt to outdo the 2006 one, and by doing so, they undermined the fun of the competition a bit. If one looks at the gradient of the scores of this contest, it shows a very flat and low beginning, and then a sudden ramp up in the top 17 positions. This means that 852 teams all had nearly the same score.
I hope that this year they will have a more traditional style of contest. While puzzles might be fun, they are too much of a yes/no answer and thus allow people little room to tweak and optimize their algorithms to get better scores, which I have found is always the funnest part of the contest: tweaking with the solution in the final day or two days after having built the necessary code and tools to get started.
I also wonder how many people will participate this year. Last year there was a big jump in the number of registered competitors, where registration is completely optional and can be delayed until the final day. Due to the way the competition turned out, there was also a huge letdown compared to 2006, so I wonder whether the people that joined due to the 2006 hype will look past the singular fluke to the fun this competition has brought 10 years now.
This will be the fifth year I participate and the third year as my team Lazy Bottoms. The members of the team this year are nearly all different from last year's, but I'm definitely confident in their abilities and look forward to collaborating with them on this challenge.
There are several tactics that I have found to be useful for this contest:
- Come prepared.
This one should be obvious. Make sure you have decided what tools, compilers, libraries you will use. Make sure that everyone is using compatible libraries. Determine what you will use for source code management, personally I use darcs on a external machine with a singular account and several allowed public keys (one for each team member). Also make sure that everyone is able to connect to the box in question and that all permissions are set up correctly.
- Communicate effectively.
One of those obvious mantras that is mentioned in every management and GTD book. If your team is distributed accross the globe like mine is, make sure to have reliable and efficient means of communication. Typically, we use irc for communicating since that is were actually met and since it is a reasonably efficient means of communicating in a group. While one might opt for more fancy means, such as video-conferencing, that is not always an option if not every member has those facilities. Additionally, IRC is easier to ignore when working on a problem, and easier to read up on once we wish to find out what is being discussed.
- Be organized.
While IRC works well for the different communicating threads that occur while working on a problem, it does not work well from an organizational perspective. Due to the short time that the competition offers and the sometimes serious software engineering that is required to get the necessary tools in place, it is important to have everyone on one page. For this I prefer using some collaborative editor, for instance gobby, or this year we'll go for google-docs. That way the meeting becomes each one writing their part of the meeting notes and then going down over it together to hash out any inconsistencies. This could potentially also work with one note-taker, but given the limited size of ICFP-teams (4-6 people, usually), it does not harm to have multiple people writing in the same document. The advantage of this model is that you do not have to reiterate 10 times over a discussion, and you're sure nothing will get missed by the one person having to write up the meeting notes after the meeting, since they are written and discussed as part of the meeting.
- Know when to cut your losses.
In a time schedule it's important to know when to cut losses. In 2007, part of our team spent a whole day on one particular problem, namely the DNA compiler. In the end, they could not get it to work and were completely stuck on it. Another team member (in this case me) then stepped in and took a completely fresh stab at the problem, using a working implementation in python we had and solved it in in several hours. I do not consider myself particularly smarter than the other team members, on the contrary, we had some very smart people in the team. The major problem here was that a set of people was so stuck on getting an implementation working while instead we should've started fresh and let someone else work on it. This eventually happened, as mentioned, but should've occurred a lot earlier. A pair of fresh eyes or a new attempt at a problem from scratch can work miracles at times.
If one looks over the previously mentioned techniques, it quickly becomes obvious that they are also useful in a general software engineering environment. After all, the ICFP contest is like a small software project with a very tight time-schedule.
Anyways, I'm very excited about the upcoming contest and hope the style will be more like the earlier contests instead of the ones of 2006 and 2007.

HHO Engine Carbon Removal Machine
The hydrogen-oxygen carbon removal machine is a machine that utilizes the catalytic characteristics of the hydrogen-oxygen gas, the combustion-supporting characteristics, the high-temperature characteristics of the hydrogen-oxygen flame, and the characteristics of the hydrogen-oxygen flame-generating water to remove the volumetric carbon inside the automobile engine. In fact, it is a hydrogen-oxygen generator and some accessories. Using water as raw material, electricity is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen by electricity, hydrogen is used as raw material, oxygen is used for combustion, and is sent into the interior of the automobile engine through the air inlet, and is mixed and burned with gasoline and air. The oxy-hydrogen gas mixture is equivalent to a catalyst for gasoline combustion. It is a qualitative leap in the field of car maintenance.
1. Boost power:improve engine output horsepower, power increased by 10%-15%, acceleration significantly improved.
2. Save money:save carbon by 3%-15% immediately after carbon removal, saving high fuel costs.
3. Safety clean:high safety, no carbon pollution, high environment protection.
4. Extend the age of the car:maintenance of auto parts to extend engine life.
5. Reduce sewage:reduce 30%-60% of dirt emissions
6.Smooth driving:improve engine jitters and improve ride comfort.

④Why should do carbon cleaning for car?
There are many reasons for increased carbon deposition:incomplete combustion, poor oil quality,bad driving habit, long time low speed driving, poor air quality etc.The increased carbon deposit will heavily effect the vehicle performance, resulting in 90% of engine component failures, fuel consumption increased, excessive exhaust emission.
⑤How the machine works?
The hydrogen-oxygen carbon removal machine uses water as a raw material, and decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen by electricity, uses hydrogen as a raw material, assists combustion with oxygen, and is sent into the interior of the automobile engine through the air inlet to be mixed and burned with gasoline and air. The oxyhydrogen gas mixture is equivalent to a catalyst for gasoline combustion.
1. Open the power control switch on the rear of the carbon removal machine
2. Connecting the pipeline
3. Start the car engine and keep the vehicle at idle speed
4. Select the working mode and displacement to start decarbonization
5. Dosing requirements
6. When the carbon is over, shut down the machine and restore the pipeline.
1.The idling speed is stable and uniform, and the sound is sweet in the engine running.
2.Car power recovery, smooth power.
3.Rapid acceleration during, full of power.
4.Fuel consumption is reduced (fuel efficient).
After the use of the hydrogen and oxygen decarbonizer, the carbon deposits are effectively cleaned, the exhaust emissions are greatly reduced, the engine power is restored, and the fuel consumption of the vehicle is reduced.

Vertex Alpha and Omega Protein Skimmers are made with high quality PVC and acrylic - these protein skimmers are over-engineered for super high quality. You will notice the build quality of these premium skimmers. Near silent operation.
Vertex Omega Protein Skimmers are produced with the same engineering and style you expect from Vertex Aquaristik. Omegas have a wine bottle shape, Sicce pump (200i has the Askol pump), pinwheel impeller and titanium screws.
Which skimmer should I buy? A quality protein skimmer is the most essential piece of equipment on your tank if you want to achieve "long term" success. Manufacturers give suggested tank sizes but these are just a general guideline. Rule of thumb is never go lower than their suggestions and bigger is always better. Skimmer selection is really simple, figure out how much you can spend, how much space you have and get the best performing skimmer available that fits inside those two things. You won't regret it!

Here's a hint - nouns and adjectives following linking verbs are not labelled as objects.
Student or Learner
I'm currently studying English and I'm having a hard time understanding one of the tasks given by the teacher.
The task is:
"Identify the clause patterns of the main clauses, and write down all the words that belong to the individual clause elements (S, V, O, C, A). What meaning or use is typically associated with the respective clause patterns? Do you find that this meaning matches the usage in the text?"
The text:
Most verbs are regular (O), in that their forms (S) can be predicted (V) by a small set of rules (O). About 300 verbs(S) in English are (V) irregular (O), in that some of the forms (S) are (V) partly (A) or wholly unpredictable.
The letters in brackets are added by me, but I'm not sure if I'm correct. I feel confident as far as the subject and verb, but not the rest. Any help would be much appreciated!
Here's a hint - nouns and adjectives following linking verbs are not labelled as objects.
I would love to help you, but I believe that your teacher does not use the American system, which is the one I know. Sorry.

Over at The Splintered Mind, Professor Schwitzgebel, scans the bibliographies on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (minus the historical entries), and gives us the top 40 most cited contemporary authors.
Longtime friend of the Smoker, S (as does commenter Hans), points out that, on the list, there are 39 men and 1 woman. 39-1. Once Professor Schwitzgebel expands the list to 200, on a quick, non-scientific count, the number of women shoots up to 17. 17 out of 200.
We've talked about the issue of women and philosophy a few times before, but, what also stood out to me about the list was the lack of non-White dudes, or more technically underrepresented minorities, on the list. Maybe someone would care to do the counting a bit more rigorously than I can (I'd appreciate the help), but by my super-scientific method of name analysis, I count approximately 1 (Amartya Sen) in the list of 200 (excluding those women included in the number above). 1 in 200. Maybe there's more, so let's bump up the number, generously, to 10 out of 200, regardless: HOLY SHIT.
What to make of the numbers? Well, as friend, S, has snarked to me:
You can rest assured that philosophy is the way it is only because people who aren't white dudes aren't as good at being rigorous and analytical as white dudes are. That's why disciplines with more women and non-white people are morasses of confusion, where no progress ever happens. You know, like biology and cognitive psych.Maybe I (and my friend) only half-believe this snark, but after lobbing that bomb, let's put it aside. These numbers are disheartening and, shittily and more importantly, map onto recent experiences that I've had at conferences: workshops, dinners, and/or drinks where only or mostly White Dudes were in attendance (present company and a few women excluded), noticing women after talks and at dinners (when they felt comfortable enough to attend) having a more difficult time than men in having conversations started with them, and, more personally, being referred (harmlessly, I suppose) by a much more ethnic name than my given name by a prominent philosopher I had met before.
I'm not going to pretend like I have anything profound to say about this subject. Thinking about these numbers and recent experiences mostly just make me wince, question just why I would want to keep doing philosophy given its culture, find solace in snark, and wonder if I should just suck it up. After all, it's not a real problem since all the women and minorities are stealing the cushy jobs from super-qualified white dudes.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
EEOC has developed Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001, Section 515(b). These guidelines are designed to ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility and integrity of information disseminated by the Commission.
At this time, the EEOC has not received any quality correction requests. If requests are received in the future, they will be posted on this page.
Based on the review it has conducted, the EEOC believes that it does not currently produce or sponsor the distribution of influential scientific information (including highly influential scientific assessments) within the definitions promulgated by OMB. As a result, at this time the EEOC has no agenda of forthcoming influential scientific disseminations to post on its website in accordance with OMB's Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review.
