| remastered EMI pink floyd I'll ask the guys who did the recent remasters but that sure sounds like a story. How would the Beatles masters (Capitol) get into Alan Parsons (the original DSOTM recording engineer) hands? | |
| Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison? Just occurred to me rereading the entire thread that there are two discussions going on: one is the mix, if you like the old (Alan Parsons) vs new (James Guthrie), and two: which lp transfer got it closer to the master tapes of the Parson's mx. I ... | |
| Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison? The new EMI versions are totally new mix, from the multitrack masters, mixed by James Guthrie. The old pressings would represent the best the old mix can sound, while the new stuff is what the band would do today with current technology. Better dy... | |
| Dedicated listening room design Summit, well said. Sound proofing only keeps the sound inside a room, nothing about making the sound inside the room any good! The basics are to avoid parallel walls, hard (reflective) surfaces where the speakers project sound (usually the side wa... | |
| Are nearfield speakers homeworthy for personal use You need to hear the pro (active) ATC 25 and the hi fi (passive) ATC 40. that should be in the comparison group | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? I don't think Crown was into audiophile level quality. I repped them from 1980 to 1990 or so. The family was into missionary work, and Crown recorders were designed to be simple, repairable and operable in difficult environments. They used to set ... | |
| The wrong speaker for the room ? I contend that most shows effectively display for all the wrong room for the speaker. Efforts are made to deal with cables, power, source, electronics, every detial. Lost somehow is the biggest detail, the room.Come hear the Pink Floyd Wish you we... | |
| remastered EMI pink floyd Hey Poprhetor: I did a bit of digging today and that remastered Dark Side LP is just the original Alan Parson's mix. No remixing. No attempt to add anything (or add dynamics); what you are hearing is closer to Alan's finished master tapes, as appr... | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? Most studios in the US with functioning tape machines have newer Studers. There were still a few new ones for sale as recently as a few years ago. Sadly, most of them sit in the corner unused. There are a few engineers who still insist on them, bu... | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? Big question and like hi fi, it depends. I can comment from the pro side. The old Ampex machines were nice, but the tube electronics were designed to be simple and easy to repair in the field but not audiophile grade. Sound beautiful but limited d... | |
| remastered EMI pink floyd Are you talking about the 5.1 Dark Side remix done by James Guthrie? Pink Floyd is licensing a lot of their material to record companies now for all kinds of new content. The Immersion sets are a good example.... | |
| Where does your user name come from? My company name, I sell the high end gear on the recording side, to engineers who track, mix or master records....short for TransAmerica Audio.Brad | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list If any of you are coming to RMAF in a few weeks, you'll get to experience A Recording to Die For, at least from the professional music side. The show will be the premier demo of Wish You Were Here in 5.1, from the new Immersion Disc set. ATC is br... | |
| Center Channel Speakers In A Movie Theater? Well I think there are some valid points there, but I think its simpler than that. The sound needs to come from the action on the screen and the screen is higher. Secondly the floor is not flat, its "theater" seating with seats on steps up to the ... | |
| Center Channel Speakers In A Movie Theater? The LCR set of speakers is behind the screen in all cinema systems except the non perforated Taurus screens that AMC uses (not sure if they still do) Non perforated screens require speakers be mounted above the screens, and you can tell that the s... |
