The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static. The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out. If you want to decode the Stardust carrier with stardust.c, avoid the German Teldec -- DMM cutting heads destroyed the sub-carrier! -- Lisa Johansson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre. ------------------------------------------------------------ From llee@mit.edu Sat Aug 20 14:43:47 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!mit!llee From: llee@mit.edu (Lisa Lee) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: European 12-inch extended club dubs - comparing pressing masterings Message-ID: <1994Aug20.144347.8988@mit.edu> Date: Sat, 20 Aug 1994 14:43:47 GMT References: <1994Aug19.123047.2601@titech.ac.jp> Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology NNTP-Posting-Host: mit.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1994Aug19.123047.2601@titech.ac.jp>, ljohansson@titech.ac.jp (Lisa Johansson) writes: > Doing a side-by-side shootout of the European 12-inch extended club mixes of SYNTHESIS.
