"I've tried all of the opto-style compressors, and this is by far my favorite. It's every bit as good as the classic compressors." - Jake Sinclair, Producer (Sia, Weezer, Fall Out Boy) MORE👇 manley.com/news/2016/7/12/jake-sinclair-gets-signature-sound-with-manley-elop #manley #manleylabs #elopplus #elop #manleyelop #compressor #limiter #music #producer #tubesrule

Restoring Petula Clark's legendary Valentine's Day concert using CEDAR Cambridge... David Hadzis is the Project Manager at the United Music Foundation, which was established in Geneva in 2013 to preserve, enhance and spotlight endangered musical recording heritage, and to make it available to the public. One of his recent projects was to restore and release a complete recording of Petula Clark's legendary 1974 Royal Albert Hall concert in London, which includes previously unreleased live versions of her greatest hits and many other classics. This proved to be no simple task, as David explained to us. "I looked everywhere for the original multi-tracks of this concert, but I was unsuccessful and I now suspect that they've been destroyed. This isn't as surprising as it may seem - wiping or destroying tapes was a common practice in the '60s and '70s, especially when recording studios closed down. But about twenty years ago I found some stereo analogue tapes of the concert in the vaults at PolyGram UK. Unfortunately, the company wouldn't let me have them, and they next resurfaced at PolyGram in the USA. I was only able to obtain them after Claude Wolff's intervention (Petula's husband and manager). Once I had them in my hands, I discovered that they comprised two quite different sets of mixes. The first set was a vinyl album and cassette production master that contained just fourteen of the thirty-three tracks from the concert. These were recorded at 15ips, but they suffered from badly encoded Dolby A noise reduction which was clearly going to be a problem. The second set of recordings comprised 7.5ips rough mixes of all 33 tracks together with unedited speech and applause." "Although both sets of tapes had been mixed by the great John Timperley at Chappell Studios in London they weren't consistent and they also suffered from azimuth instability that affected the sound quality, so I turned to the CEDAR Cambridge system that we had recently installed at the Foundation. My first job was to eliminate the azimuth errors and I used CEDAR's Phase Corrector for this. This locked the two channels together again and eliminated the unpleasant side-effects (comb filtering, loss of top end and indistinct stereo imaging) of this type of problem. Having done so, I needed to match the tone and dynamics of the two sets of tapes. I did this using a CEDAR process call Reshape, which matches the tone and soundstage of different recordings. I created a model of the 15ips tapes and was then able to give the 7.5ips tapes the same overall tone and dynamics." "Having sorted this out, I then had to address various noise problems including issues such as hiss, clicks, plops, distortion and crackle. All of these were eliminated by the restoration processes in the CEDAR system, and I was then able to re-edit the concert back to its original sequence, even including the medleys that had been edited for the original album release in 1974. So, finally, I was able to produce the masters for the the Foundation's 2-CD Collector's Edition which contains the whole concert as it was originally meant to be." The sound of the Collector's Edition (which is available as a numbered copy and comes with a 40-page hardcover booklet) has been widely praised, and Petula Clark herself has also written to compliment David's restorations. She wrote, "The United Music Foundation is doing really important work. David Hadzis is a personal friend, and he is totally dedicated to every project he takes on, including my Royal Albert Hall concert. We should all be grateful and support this exceptional organisation. It's all about quality." All of the profits from the sale of the Collector's Edition are being used to support the future preservation and restoration of musical heritage.

Here's a cautionary tale for you: 36 counterfeit guitars, that included "Gibsons", "Fenders", "Martins" and a "PRS" guitars were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. If they were authentic, they would have had a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $158,692. If it can happen in the States, it can happen in Canada. Please purchase your gear from an authorized retailer!

#TBT to Tape Op Magazine review of the Mojave Audio MA1000: I did not know the cost of the MA-1000 mic while I was evaluating it. Mojave’s pricing is very competitive, but I realized that this mic was a step up, in a more high-end direction. My initial guess was that it was upwards of $5,000 USD — and based on its performance, that would be a steal. Even if you used the MA-1000 exclusively as a vocal mic, it would be worth that. I was quite surprised to learn its actual price is closer to half of what I estimated." tapeop.com/reviews/gear/121/ma-1000-large-diaphragm-tube-mic

Anyone picked up the latest issue of soundonsound? 📖 . Inside, you'll find another amazing review, this time of our Camden EC1! . We love how this review (by Matt Houghton!) focuses more on how Camden EC1 integrates with your studio rather than the nerdy technical specs - you can read Hugh Robjohn's Camden EC2 review for that! . There are some amazing quotes to chose from, but here are some of our favourites: . "Put the EC1 in front of a decent budget interface and you’ll have ample clean gain and better technical performance... since your interface won’t need to provide any gain at all." . "Then there’s the headphone amp, which boasts more impressive specifications than those you’ll find on most interfaces. More importantly, it sounds clean and capable in practice, and has more than enough ‘welly’ [For our international friends, 'Welly' means Juice/Power here in the UK!] to drive high‑impedance cans..." . "The Mojo processor was everything I expected, a real pleasure. And that you can use this not just as a mic/instrument preamp but also as a line‑level processor when mixing really increases the EC1’s appeal and value for money. In short, I’m smitten all over again." . Thanks Matt and our friends at Sound On Sound for another awesome review! #soundonsound #camdenec1 #review
