Shades selects Tangerine
Mastering for new 12-song “Luv & Terror”
CD project, plus vinyl and MP3 to follow
“I love the= sound on the project … Tangerine Mastering is a great place to work.” – co-producer Bob Bert
“I chose to work at Tangerine because I have known
[co-owners] Roger Johansen and Gene Holder for many years, and like the way
they work.” Bert confides. “The new album for my four-piece ban=
d,
Int’l Shades, is our first on Gifted Children label. It comprises 12
songs with singer/synth player Alexa Wilding, bassist Tim Foljahn, ex-Live
Skull guitarist Mark C. and myself on drums; Mark and I co-produced the
project, which we recorded at local Brooklyn and
“I love the sound that Andreas [Meyer] produced on = the project. It has the tight, punchy sound we need – he gave it a greater body! Tangerine Mastering is a great place to work.”
“Having loaded the 24/96 tracks into a Digidesign P= roTools rig I replayed them through our outboard Meitner high-precision D-to-A converters,” Meyer says. “That way I could re-equalize and re-compress the material in the analog domain using our collection of vinta= ge Neve, SPL, Pultec and Cinema equalizers plus Universal Audio dynamics units= , and finally through our Abbey Road EMI Mastering Chain. Although the origin= al tracks sounded great, mastering involves that essential magic that makes th= em sound consistent and adds subtle punch and enhances the overall level. The results, I think, are outstanding!”
