AmericanRadioHistory.Com IF YOU THINK DIGITAL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, Nearly everyone in the recording industry agrees that digital Is YOU'RE ALREADY A STEP BEHIND. the technology of the future. Unfortunately, they're also under the impression that it won't be available until then. There are, however, some notable exceptions to that philosophy. Like A& M Records, Warner Bros. Records, Record Plant, Westlake Audio, Audio -Video Rents and Sound 80. You see, they've all installed the multi -track digital system that's available right now. 3M's 32 -track Digital Mastering System. The reasons are obvious. Because digital captures all the pure, full -range highs and lows and surrounds them with clean, no -hiss silence. The result is transparent, distortion -free sound itself. Whether it's the first generation or the twentieth. But there's one other reason why so many outstanding studios are using 3M's Digital Masiering System for the entire recording process. They like to stay a step ahead. For more information, write: Digital Mastering/3M, Building 223-5S/3M Center, St. Paul; MN 55101.

His southwestern drawl smoothed by two decades on this coast, the Iowa -born, Dallas -raised actor is soft-spoken, intelligent and good-natured. Fans of "The Rockford Files" know better. On screen, that voice rises in pitch and intensity into the lip -smacking wheedle of the deliciously shady Angel Martin, the most dangerous "friend" a private eye could ever make. Throughout the series' run, Margolin's portrayal has yielded some of the funniest hard-boiled vignettes in television history: as Margolin himself puts it, "Angel is a petty thief, heavy on the petty.If most men lead lives of quiet desperation, Angel lives a life of loud desperation."
