A Top 5 DSD Best Seller
The Window by singer, songwriter and guitarist David Elias is our Album of the Week.
Recorded directly to DSD Stereo and DSD Multichannel at Immersive Studios in Boulder, Colorado by Gus Skinas, this album captures the live arrangements and performances of a group of superb musicians.
Using no compression, no effects, no edits or overdubs on the pure DSD mixes (making use of the Sonoma DSD Workstation and the DSD Wide format) the analog nature of these studio sessions was captured for stunning reproduction.
The Window uses all of the 8 tracks available on the first generation Sonoma DSD Workstation, a live mix was engineered on an analog console by Jeff Shuey. This approach prevented any edits in the mixes, as the background soundscape for the entire album is based on these full-band live performances and can’t be changed.
In addition, 4 spot mics were used to track the vocal, dobro, weissenborn, upright bass, and mandolin/ Irish bouzouki to properly locate those instruments on the soundstage and adjust for gain in the mixes. No other effects or compression were used beyond EQ and panning.
The original intent of this DSD project was to create the most realistic and accurate 5.1 multichannel reproduction of a singer-songwriter acoustic studio performance as possible. Musicians were arranged in a semi-circle in the studio without isolation. Stereo and Multichannel Mixes then created followed locations such that microphone bleeds as well as sound decay was accurately represented.
The NativeDSD DSD 128, DSD 256, DSD 512 editions of the album were created by NativeDSD Mastering Engineer Tom Caulfield with the use of the Signalyst HQPlayer Pro 4 mastering tools and the "EC" modulators. Creating even better and more involving editions of The Window than the original version of the album.
The Windows is available in Stereo and Multichannel DSD (up to DSD 256) and Stereo DSD 512. Save 20% on the album through May 1, 2020, with offer code AOTW at the Native DSD Music Store.
