Apple Immersive: #Metallica on Apple Vision Pro is truly exceptional. 25 mins flew by with a powerful performance spliced with personal in-your-face profiles of James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert. Easily my favourite representation of the band, its dedicated fans, and heavy music to date.

#Metallica bring their formidable concert experience to Apple Vision Pro this Friday, March 14.

Filmed in Mexico City during the sold-out M72 World Tour, the 25 minute performance includes “Whiplash,” “One,” and “Enter Sandman,” filmed exclusively in Apple Immersive Video.

"Nothing Else Matters" is a #powerBallad by American #heavyMetal band #Metallica. It was released in 1992 as the third single from their self-titled fifth studio album, Metallica. The song peaked at number 11 on the #Billboard #MainstreamRockTracks chart, number 6 on the #UKSinglesChart, number 1 in Denmark, and reached the top ten on many other European charts. Recognized as one of Metallica's best known and most popular songs.

METALLICA
Kill 'Em All
1988 Canada reissue

It doesn’t get any more old school than Kill ‘Em All, baby!

The cover and inner is a little beat up, but the record is as clean as the day it first came out and sounds great. I cannot stand how the Blackened reissues of the classic Metallica albums sound. They’re atrocious.

After this is over, I’m gonna have to do Ride The Lightning, too. Can’t do one without the other.

A Couple of hours ago somebody asked me how you would go about digitizing a cassette tape.

In the short run it's simple if you are Sound Engineer like me:

* you take a Dual Channel passive direct-box
* you take an output cable which goes from RCA to quarter inch plugs
* you insert those in the direct box
* you pull two XLR cables to your mixing console

From your mixing console you send the analog audio from the subgroups outputs to one of your many digitizers and you're done.

For a home user there's a challenge; the home user first needs to get a working cassette deck, most Engineers who have been in the profession for years have at least one or two of them. Some Engineers even still have Quarter inch tape decks in running condition.

So the home user will need to buy a brand new cassette deck which has a USB output which is in fact a built-in simple digitizer.

I have a check for those, because I do not wish to play my retro cassettes again, even though they are in perfect condition. Compact cassette always sounded low quality to me.

So in conclusion, you need a running cassette deck with demagnetized Heads, new belts, a pre amp and a digitizer, then you can digitize your analog cassette tape
