"I can tell you that this is not just "louder, brighter" mastering. The set has to communicate the core elements of Sting's music: the drama, passion, intensity, creativity, whimsy -- all of it. Some songs are intended to be big and some are delicate. The box balances that so a listener can put it on and hear the similarity and contrasts of the music through all the permutations of Sting's career. We took an enormous amount of time to make sure we stayed true to the music while putting it in a new context for today's listener." http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/09/scott-hull-on-the-new-sting-box-set-25-years/#comments Wed, 07 Sep 2011 22:49:04 +0000 James Beaudreau http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/?p=1386 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/09/scott-hull-on-the-new-sting-box-set-25-years/feed/ 0 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/04/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-district-wrap-up/ Tomorrow is Record Store Day, and today Scott Hull's last post about vinyl went up at The Vinyl District. http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/04/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-district-wrap-up/#comments Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:34:26 +0000 James Beaudreau http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/?p=1233 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/04/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-district-wrap-up/feed/ 0 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/03/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-district-weeks-9-10/ This week (Week 10) Scott gets deeper into the specs for vinyl set by the RIAA and answers the question "How many grooves are there on a typical record?" http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/03/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-district-weeks-9-10/#comments Fri, 25 Mar 2011 16:25:03 +0000 James Beaudreau http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/?p=1222 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/03/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-district-weeks-9-10/feed/ 0 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/03/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-disctrict-week-8/ This week at The Vinyl District, Scott Hull discusses the different ways that vinyl reissues get made, particularly when the original masters are lost. http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/03/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-disctrict-week-8/#comments Fri, 11 Mar 2011 19:15:01 +0000 James Beaudreau http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/?p=1180 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/03/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-disctrict-week-8/feed/ 0 http://www.themasterdiskrecord.com/2011/03/scotts-guest-blog-at-the-vinyl-disctrict-week-7/ What can make a mild-mannered mastering engineer bend lacquers into a V-shape over his knee in anger?
