Back in the late 1970's, when I was part of a working band, we had ALL of our records cut half-speed by Stan Ricker at Mobility Fidelity Sound Lab and then pressed by JVC in Japan. The cost was double for everything, but the finished records sounded just like the original ½ inch master tape.

@Sean-me4fv

Which band?

Lovely to hear some snippets of John Martyn songs from his greatest period, the early seventies, when he recorded Bless the Weather (November 1971) , Solid Air (February 1973), Inside Out (October 1973) and Sunday's Child (January 1975), without a shadow of a doubt four of the finest albums ever released on vinyl.

A hint to all those who wonder why de-essing is essential to vinyl records: The vinyl record uses a "pre-emphasis" on the medium and the opposite "de-emphasis" in the amplifier. At pre-emphasis, 20kHz sound is boosted at 20dB compared to 1kHz, 20Hz is attenuated at 20 dB compared to 1kHz. So it is 40 dB difference between 20Hz and 20kHz. Thus, high frequencies mean high level *and* high velocity on the record. This results in the need to de-ess it. And that's why half speed cutting is so essential to a mechanical medium because the velocity is only half at cutting. BTW, the RIAA equalization curve can be found on wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization

@wernerkarl6006

5 жыл бұрын

Oh, another BTW: With half speed cuttting they have to move this curve to half frequencies, so the 20 dB boost is at 10kHz. That's why they have to modify the filters (the RIAA filters).

Great little interview my man ... And, so nice to hear such enthusiasm for, not just vinyl, but pushing the last ounce of quality out of it. Even more so when you consider how compromised the whole system is ... dangerously close to "not possible" but engineered (mainly by the Germans I'd imagine) to the point of being "really quite good". I didn't know about Decca's 1/2 speed era though ... who'd have thought it !!

Hmmm... I watched this again, and now I like it a lot. Would still have been great to see and hear some of this, but I understand most of the interview now. Thanks!

Loved how they played 3 Free tracks, All Right Now, Oh I Wept & Don't say You Love Me. I'm pretty sure they never recorded at Abbey Road but nice see some recordings got the Abbey Road treatment

Great video Miles glad to see your reviving half speed cutting Tony Hawkins would be very proud

Got Free - Fire & Water which is an amazing improvement over the Island original - makes you realise what a power house group they were Fraser's bass lines especially. The Cream release is in mono and is also excellent as the video makes clear - hope they do other releases by both groups!!

In Half-Speed Mastering your Equalization is doubled so if you Boost 5kHz in the transfer it will be a 10kHz Boost in playback.

Pre ordered.. I'll be expecting much :)

This is nice and very informative, but I thought I was going to see him doing a half speed cutting, is there any video of that?

If half speed mastering improves hi frequency response. Are there any down sides such as low frequency response?

great video ,very interesting

What does this do to the LF content? Wouldn't it make it half frequency as well, and so twice the excursion it would normally need?

Bus lane mastering. Love it :)

I bought the Disraeli Gears album, keeps skipping on the opening track. Very disappointed since I held the standard and the more expensive half speed mastered side by side and I bought the second one as I thought I was going to have a better experience. How wrong was I!

So cool

Very informative. Have to agree with the John Martyn comment... even the original full speed pressings of Solid Air and Inside Out are standout.

If the high frequencies benefit from this recording method, what happens to the low frequencies? The information that was recorded on the tape at 30-40Hz will almost completely disappear when the recording is lowered in two? The lower the frequency, the narrower the stereo range. Also you will get a different stereo image when you play the record at normal speed. It's right?

Fitting an audio signal to a storage medium IS what mastering is about. There’s actual physical (mechanical) limitations with certain formats, e.g., you really can’t have wide stereo bass with vinyl, so the audio has to be altered to fit. The kicker being that a signal can be processed to fit inside those limitations a number of different ways depending on what the overall goal is. This is why it’s done on an album level vs song level. Things like amplitude can effect the over all run length per side with vinyl. Good mastering finds a compromise between signal, format, and client. Nowadays we typically master audio into a 96khz+ 24 bit wav format before digital distribution with the goal of sounding as nice as possible on a wide range of speakers.

Ive heard a lot of mixed info on half speed. Got the newest Kid Amnesiac at half speed but turntable is down so my verdict is still out. Thanks for giving a birds eye view. I’ve been tempted to get Exile but heard they used a digital transfer. Apologies…..I hear a lot of half truths. It’s tough to hear that some of our great masters haven’t been revered as they should have. Hopefully they are righting some of those wrongs and making some back-ups.

Vinyl mastering is (soon to be "was") king. Vinyl as a format doesn't have any technical superiority over digital. Add to that the very recent shift away from "loud as all fucking hell" digital mastering, spearheaded by streaming companies (I guess that shift did happen after your comment) and vinyl's superiority in dynamics is gonna be a thing of the past soon. I get that we all want more dynamic masters, and that the loudness wars royally fucked up music, but that wasn't the fault of digital audio. Separate the shitty masters associated with digital audio from the medium itself, and the higher resolution (effective 20kHz vs. true 96kHz) as well as the higher dynamic range (effective 70dB SNR vs true 144dB SNR) really are undisputed. If only we'd learned not to compress everything to shit at the very beginning of digital audio, no one would doubt its superiority as a music format.

(This is gonna be a long comment, but I'm pretty tired of ignorant vinyl snobs clinging to their misconceptions. I know this stuff, and I even read up on a handful of articles to make sure that what I'm saying is absolutely factual. Not directed at you, AceTech, but definitely directed at anyone who still believes vinyl is inherently superior) Yeah this has definitely been true for the last few decades of digital, as I explained in my comment. As I also mentioned, but didn't elaborate on, 2018 is the year in which *all* the major streaming platforms now have volume normalization at right around -14 LUFS. Almost any digital release with an integrated loudness of -14 LUFS will have the same integrated dynamic range as it's vinyl counterpart, while having roughly equal SNR and resolution, and that's just for a high quality stream on Spotify. A CD or a hi-res MP3 will *absolutely* blow the fidelity and dynamics of a vinyl out of the water. Now, why is this -14 LUFS normalization important? Because as anyone even remotely aware of music production knows, higher volumes and higher dynamics are two things that humans just intuitively enjoy, the former more so than the latter. It used to be, that when you did a sausage master around -3 LUFS, you'd have completely crushed the dynamics, but you'd also have a song that played up to four times louder than a highly dynamic song, which the general public seems to like. Now, that same song will be turned down by 11 LUFS, and all that loudness you gained will be lost, *AS WELL AS THE DYNAMICS.* No one wants to lose loudness AND dynamics, and by making the choice on the former, the streaming companies have effectively made the choice on the latter as well. With -14 LUFS, the only thing my limiter EVER limits, is Inter-Sample Peaks, and even then, I'm not entirely convinced there's actually anything to limit. I hardly even compress my master (still do a bit for the coloring, but it's miniscule) and I have no need what so ever for maximizers and strategic distortion anymore. Now, I really don't like overt compression, and I didn't really do it before 2018 either, but this is across the board. No one is gonna squash a master now that the need just isn't there anymore. It will take some time to unlearn, but within very few years, practically all digital releases will have an integrated loudness of -14 LUFS, and that will naturally lead to much more dynamic mixing and mastering for digital distribution.

It's not the half speed recording which improves the esses.

RWBHere I know, he mentioned a limiter if I'm not wrong, to control and cut those ultra high frequencies produced when the S sound is being pronounced. Btw the regular-speed recording process doesn't allow to do this or doesn't allow to do it so precisely. So it's the half-speed recording technique that gives them more precision. I thought it was a problem with my cartridge or something like that but, it's the way most records are being made that causes those distorted Ss to be there.
