Mission of Burma- Burma Reissue Mastering Sessions Part 1

On Novevember 27th, 2007 we visited Sterling Sound in New York City to document first-hand the all-analog mastering process. The process by which Mission of Burma's landmark recordings from the early 1980's were re-mastered. The process is old-fashioned. The gear is original. The vinyl is live cut.

The Mission of Burma Definitive Edition Reissue Series will be available on Matador Records March 18, 2008. You can pre-order the albums here....

A great lesson

The Ampex ATR100 came out in 1977, not 1971. Still a good machine, but a little rough on tape. The Studer is the king on tape handling and sounds just as good, if not better.

What's wrong with the music I like? My taste definately isn't limited to that. Obviously you're quite offended to go to the effort and look up my favourites.

Also, I don't spend time looking at waveforms - i listen.

Good songs are good songs, but it's just a shame when it's ripped off by bad production

A Sting, Phish, and Ben Folds fan....I should've known.

[HaciendaRooster]

Nah, not really. If you spend any length of time arguing about sonics and mastering and techy shit, your missing out on some good music. Good songs. Good performances. But go ahead and stare at your computer screen and waveforms all day and night. It's the modern day D&D! Leaves more music for me!!
