Ross Hogarth who engineered the album talks about the recording a bit in this thread (page 5). http://prorecordingworkshop.lefora.com/ ... ack/page5/ I think Paul Hagar did some additional engineering as well.

Final Q's though, 1. If I decide to go without the bonus tracks and keep only what's been pressed before, then I can press directly from a CD image of the original CD and not have to re-master these originally pressed CD's, correct? 2. Is there a reliable way for me to package this unreleased one i...

I have a marantz CD 630 that over the years has gotten more and more fussy about the CDs it eats. Now it wont take any. I used to run TDK 10 packs in the 1990s and then slowly I began to have one or two rejects in a box OPCFAIL!!! Then on to the Mitsui Gold CDs. Now it wont eat them. I used an OLD ...

+4 for Scott... wait.. what was the question.

Has that been fixed or am I just crazy....

A little from column 'A', a little from column 'B'.

Ya you don't save much room. If you import a 40 meg wav. it comes in at 30 meg Apple lossless.

Well, officially it doesn't, but it can be done easily. You have to trick itunes into thinking it's an quicktime movie file.

I would just pull them all in as waves. Hard drives aren't that expensive these days. You can get a terabyte for around $100. I'm almost sure that itunes now supports flac and that they can play on ipod/pad as well. You could also batch convert your wave files to Flac down the road should you choose...

Yes sticky shed will cause transport issues so it's best not to play those tapes at all. I would give it a full cleaning and demag and see if you can get a clean reel of 1" tape over the weekend.

You would just bounce out your wave file and name it. There's really no other data that can be input on a single wave file set for digital distribution. Edit: The cd text and isrc info is written to and read from the table of contents (TOC) of the physical disc. This info will not transfer with the ...

I've mastered a few songs that Stewart played on for the artist Vinx (Sting's percussionist.) One song was pretty unique in that Stewart had played the rhythm by hitting water.

The song you mention, the re-mastered version of "Come Together" by some accounts is pretty conservative in level compared to some of the stuff out there. You just have to stay true to what you think serves your music the best. There are indy and main stream artist who's releases are kept at reasona...

For a smaller budget there is the Dav eq which has detented control for easier recall. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DAV-BG3-Stereo-Mastering-EQ-TAX-FREE-Export-/290404708092?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Outboards_Effects_MJ&hash=item439d782efc The Bax is great ( I have one) but your talking broad strokes Th...

ISRC codes are traditionally generated and logged by the label, the only place you can put one is in a red book CD subcode. You can also tag mp3's and any digital file that supports id3.ie. Mp3, Mp4, M4a, Wma, Flac and Ogg. For some digital distributors' Ie. ITunes, CD Baby, Nimbit, Tuncore the cli...

are ISRC codes absolutely necessary? is there any other way to make sure the titles and info of my record's songs will come up on other computers? Having isrc codes embedded on you cd is not imperative but is beneficial if you are planning on selling a lot of physical copies. Here are instructions ...
