siep Posted 19 februari 2002 Report Share Posted 19 februari 2002 Ik las dit bericht op de Phonogram mailinglist. Gepost door Michael Fremer, DE analoge man van Stereophile. Subject: Creedence Clearwater Test Pressings! Mikey sez: I've just listened to the first two CCR test pressings mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech mastering (at RTI) and let me tell you: when the bass kicked in on "I Put a Spell on You" I thought I was playing a 45 at 33 1/3 it was so deep and THICK but it was 33 1/3 and when the guitars kicked in, it was WOWIE!!!!!!!!!!!! The transparency, transient SNAP and overall clarity without brightness or edge is phenomenal! This is as close to listening to a master tape as I've heard from vinyl--not hyperbole. Based on this, I think Kevin and I guess Steve have put together the best sounding lathe/cutting set-up I've heard yet--better than what they were using at Future Disc for the DCC cuts and without the hum--and those were gooood of course.....the top end is just right--dynamics, depth, detail, the whole ball of waxxxxxxxxxx. I was cautiously optimistic having heard how great the Ella/Gershwin box cut there came out, but I was not prepared for THIS..... congrats to all, and now back to the other LPs.......

siep Posted 19 februari 2002 Author Report Share Posted 19 februari 2002 eeeeeh ja ik denk het wel ome henk, Overigens nog een kleine aanvulling. Ik heb dus keurig permissie gevraagd om dit te quoten. Vandaar nog een kleine aanvullin. I've learned since that Kevin Gray is solely responsible for the cutting lathe. Steve Hoffman had nothing to do with it, though he contributed greatly to the mastering of the CCR LPs. So if you could correct that one mistake leaving Steve's name out of the lathe business, that would be fine.

siep Posted 23 februari 2002 Author Report Share Posted 23 februari 2002 Het duurt nog een ongeveer een maand voordat ze klaar zijn. Wat hier besproken wordt zijn de testpersingen. Het zijn overigens 5 titels die opnieuw zullen gaan verschijnen. Een Webadres van Phonogram weet ik niet en is er volgens mij ook niet. Je wordt lid dmv een email die je aan de list-owner moet sturen. Er zijn 2 variaties. De ene is je ontvangt elke email apart zeg maar real-time de andere is in digest formaat dus 1 a 2 keer per dag alle mailtjes in 1 bericht. Ik ben even kwijt hoe het precies in z'n werk gaat.Als je het eenmaal hebt vergeet je hoe je er aan komt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
