Digital transfer work at Classic Sound Ltd UK

Engineers Jonathan Stokes and Neil Hutchinson from Decca and affiliated with Classic Sound Ltd UK were in charge of digitizing the analog tapes. At the request of Stereo Sound, these two veteran engineers digitized the analog master tapes using flat transfer, which eliminates the use of compressors. Therefore, the hiss and dropouts contained in the master tape remain, but the sound of the master tape, which only a limited number of people are allowed to hear, is reproduced as faithfully as possible on two types of digital discs (SACD and CD). It's contained.

This product is a digitized version of the original analog master tape audio with virtually no processing. Therefore, as a general rule, not only do we cut the ultra-low range, but we also do not perform equalization to make the sound easier to hear, nor do we perform any correction processing such as noise reduction or dropout caused by the master tape. This is based on a product plan that aims to deliver the sound of the master tape, which was only available to a limited number of production personnel, to the audio file as faithfully as possible.
