Brandon Burke Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 FYI: The Archive of Recorded Sound at Stanford University has begun digitization of the Monterey Jazz Festival Collection and I was involved in quality control for the first batch we got back from the vendor. It is perhaps common knowledge by now that Fantasy Studios in Berkeley is doing the work. Kind of a no-brainer since they're local and already familiar with this kind of material. The recordings -- what we got back so far, anyway -- sound great. Almost too great for archival perservation masters. I'm wondering if they sneaked some noise reduction in there because there's absolutely no tape hiss whatsoever. This is all fine and good, of course, since this material will eventually see commercial release. Problem is, only *raw* transfers qualify as archival preservation masters so there's a chance we'll have to go back and make sure they're not "cleaning them up" as they go. (That can always be done later from said *raw transfer* file.) No time to get into detail about what sessions were heard. It's late. Just a general heads-up. More later as things develop... best, Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
