RECYCLING THROUGH RE-MASTERING


project Almeida Club 1998
Just before christmas I happily had the possibility to remaster some takes digitally. First of all I got up the output level, and besides that the dynamics appeared better. I heard directly that details and intensions in my own playing is more "visible".

This is the Latinpot ...Originally recorded in june 1998, the last takes on the same day, which gave mig big headache. This is a low-budget miracle, the backgrounds (during the live recording session on usual cassette-tape!) work surprisingly well after digital re-mastering (dec. 2007).

Staff, (on picture, 1998);
Mikael Mallat
guitars, keyboard, rhythm programming,
arrangements
Anders Kovac
Fender bass
Mats Himmelvid

About these two particular projects, for me; it was worth it then, but even more today.
