Re: Lathes in Jamaica

Sadly, most of the younger people there can not operate the equipment anymore. If you listen to the actual stuff that comes from jamaica, sound quality is very often ultra terrible, bad recorded and mixed... only the big artists have good sound engineers. they listen to the music everywhere, in the ...
