T.Naissoo’s trio master was finished

January 20, 2023

Our team consisting of Priit Kuulber and Aular Soon spent a nice day in the studio mastering the vinyl remake of Tõnu Naissoo’s trio “Turning point”.
Thanks to the preserved original tape, we were able to leave the entire signal chain analog, and we recorded the vinyl master in DSD256.
During mastering, we adjusted the sound image a bit using a vintage UREI 1778 limiter and SSL Fusion – analog stereo master processor.
It must be admitted that the result was very good – even some parts that could not be heard properly were heard.
The vinyl record will be available in May this year.

A new rare microphone in our suitcase

January 16, 2023

In connection with jazz music projects, we were looking for a microphone that could best pick up the double bass. The C700A with serial number 110, produced by the American company Josephson Engineering, turned out to be this. The first tests showed that we have not achieved such recording detail before. The sound image of the double bass is juicy and deep. The dryness and so-called looseness caused by conventional microphones has disappeared. In the near future you will be able to hear our first jazz recording using Josephson C700A.

Andres Uibo: a record with such a sound has never been made from the Niguliste Church organ.
