Thank you Richard for joining the QQ forum, and for setting up Music Valet!
Gentlemen, it's great to be part of the forum. Thank you for all of the support! As a few of you have mentioned, my original inspiration for releasing 5.1 titles really was driven by the lack of titles available for those of us with 5.1 technology in our cars. Don't get me wrong, the home theatre experience is also amazing...but there's something about hearing a surround mix in a car with a great system.
Haven't looked at the documentary. Are these derived from multitracks, or upmixes being released commercially?
The original 2" tapes were transferred at Blackbird in Nashville by Lowell Anderson, a brilliant engineer. Lowell and I went back and forth and opted for a 24/48 transfer (I realize this could stir some debate . Also, as mentioned, Jay Ruston was the mix engineer. I've known and worked with Jay many times and he's an amazing talent. He also had the patience to see my vision (along with the band's) all the way through to the final tweaks. Eric Boulanger, from The Mastering Lab, mastered the record entirely in the analog domain.
Thank you Richard, looking forward to what comes next from Music Valet!
I've ordered the Better Than Ezra title - anyone have any word on whether it has started to ship yet?
It costs $8.44 to ship to UK. $24.42 total. I don't know their music, so I may have a listen on Spotify first.
I was just in the process of placing a order, and my postal charges to the U.K. are $11 ?? Total $27 ( so many cents )
Are you ordering 1 or 2 discs? Shipping for 1 disc to the UK is $8.44 (so $24.42 total with the disc) and shipping for two discs is $11.48 (so $27.46 with the disc). This is in line with Amazon's shipping rates (for non-prime customers). We purposely priced the disc at a very competitive price (i.e. $15.98) to counter balance the international shipping rates.
I'll be in London 8th May through 11th May. I'll have discs with me. If you're hesitant to pay the shipping here, I'll work something out via PayPal, etc. and ship your discs from London.
Best,
Rich
Thank you Rich, for that kind offer / option of help. Obviously I must have clicked twice ! I'll retry later today....
