mastering and remastering

Great mastered vinyl records and digital files have revealed interesting differences

at several international audio shows on advanced playback systems:

aspects of sound integrity were lost on digital

I developped a merging technique and a complex algorithm to match

the original master analog recording sound and recently also work to master stereo mix

Adapt the main process to current unmastered mix with adjusted settings

provides new sonic abilities impact

Positive A/B tests at Audio Show in L.A, France, Poland, Germany, Budapest, China and from producers, international artists, mastering engineers reveal listeners achieve a much better musical experience than usually 

5 goals

                         1 Remastering digital up to quality of great mastered vinyl records

                         2 Revisit actual mastering with more naturalness in sound

                         3 Mastering Mixes with new compression, EQ, center focus

               4 Remastering Chain with Ultra High Frequencies range integration

                         5 Hybrid Remastering Chain with UHF and direct D/A/D transfert

BACK TO ANALOG ROOT

2018

First Goal returns 'old' CD masters close to the original vinyl pressing of the analog master,

after working on how to approximate 70 referent vinyl records including

45rpm, half-speed mastered vinyls, direct transfer from analog tape

TOWARDS MASTER QUALITY

Second Goal  is revisiting sound due to proper limitations of vinyls and digital format

Remastering Chain ℝM³² surpasses previous ℝM

Hidden aspects of music and quality heard on analog master tape appears now

generating more emotion

FOCUS ON UNMASTERED Tracks

2021-2022

Third Goal eventually adapts settings for unmastered stereo mix,

positive results after two year exploring some works of

Bernie Grundman, Tom Coyne, Tim Young, Chris Graham, John Davis, Howie Weinberg...

About normal settings, ℝM⁴⁸ is surpassing ℝM³² anyway

FINALIZED WITH direct d/a/d analog transfert

Q4 2024

Final Goal terminates our chain development

Not to lose sound quality when downconverting sampling rate and bit depth,

our huge digital matrix directly follows a special D/A/D direct transfert,

also adding an expected analog signature ; naturalness...

Extended Dynamics

More Realistic, RM auto adapts dynamic range,

lessening usual drastic compressions

Flexible Soundstage

Full sound is able to radiate beyond the area of the speakers

without removing the impact and focus of the message

More space in the room is used and leave you an orchestral performance

Advanced Stereo Imaging

Left, Center and Right spots gives a wider and precise image

More distinctive informations in a continuous sound distribution is generated

3D Transparency Sound Layers

Three dimensional aura, extended depth and clarity

are complex achievements

to translate new acoustic properties into the 'analog spirit'

Maximum Transient Fluidity

RM improves transients and signal fluidity

through special digital conversions to DSD2048

and technique to cancel digital sounding aspects

Intelligent Balance

Perception of frequencies/level variations is not linear

A human spectrum and sound dynamic intelligence were elaborated

after psycho acoustic test and comparisons to live performances
