  1. Thank you Peter for the excellent feedback. Like I said in an earlier post, we will keep working and see what we can come up with to address your specific concerns. This is a research project and we are just in the beginning stages. This is very helpful!
  2. Thanks Peter! We will continue to refine and see what we come up with.
  3. Hi blownsi...I never got a message, so try [email protected]. I don't know what's up with that link!
  4. Hi Peter, I do monitor that inbox, but haven't seen anything show up other than thread replies. Thanks for the suggestion and offer to help. You can also try emailing me at [email protected] if the other address doesn't work for you. I can then send you an FTP drop link.
  5. Hi Jens, Thanks for your reply. We are looking for DDD recordings - the higher quality the better - both from a production and sonic perspective. It has been our observation that great (and I mean the really good ones) analog recordings transfer to the digital realm while preserving some of the magic that they originally had. We think we've found what that magic is and are attempting to add it to modern digital recordings. So far, we feel we have been able to breath life into stale digital...but we are looking for educated ears to tell us if this is what we think it really is. Today, with modern equipment and great production techniques, I agree that it's possible to produce AMAZING digital recordings. We feel, however, that they can be even better....(deep, wide, detailed)..without the usual explanations or techniques, like eq, compression etc. This phenomena existed in the early days and from what we can tell, the entire industry just overlooked it, banking on the fact that digital was going to be better. This over site, in our opinion, is the very thing that allows the listener to really connect to the music. Entire industries were created to help digital sound better...but we think it can be fixed at the source - the file itself. As for digital harshness, we feel that it doesn't have to be harsh...and after processing..it isn't to our ears. Like I mentioned to Peter in the previous post, we would love to process one or as a many files as it takes and get your opinion. Thanks again! Jayson Tomlin
  6. Hi Peter, Thanks for the reply. I guess we are ready for whatever comments come, good or bad, and understand the risk. This is just research at the moment, but we think we have something worth trying out....and therefore worth the risk. If you are interested, I would love to process one or as many files as you want to get your feedback...and we'll live with the results. We are specifically interested in all digital recordings (DDD). I do already have files available for review if you wanted to take a listen. Either way, thank you for the reply.
  7. My friend and I recently observed that really great analog recordings from the 70's sounded better on CD (or even .mp3) than any of the newer all-digital recordings. So, we set started a research project to determine why. Our theory was that whatever is special about good analog recordings, to some extent, is preserved when it's converted to digital. The logical implication here is that maybe it's possible to alter digital recordings to sound "analog". After a series of tests, we found something...something that is outside of the normal "why analog sounds better than digital" arguments. (eq, gain, compression, saturation, etc) To test the clue, we developed a software application to make alterations to the sound of some digital recordings. We ran some tests and....wow! In just a few shorts months we have developed a sophisticated set of algorithms that pull the mask off of all-digital recordings. To us, this is potentially a game changer....which brings me to the reason for this post! We have something that sounds really good to our ears and the ears of our pro-audio and musician friends. But we are interested in your opinion. We are hoping to find some volunteers that are willing to send us files for processing and give us feedback on the results. This is purely research - and totally free. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected]. We would love to get your opinion and see what you think! Cheers, Jayson Tomlin
