2014 MK RECORDING DIARY

[ds1984]

I know where your question comes from nababo because there used to be this usual 5 to 6 months time gap between finishing the album and release date. In fact, it was only stated "early 2015" and some website said January 2015, but I would not be astonished if it turns out to be February, maybe end of February..
however, it is October now, so it all goes pretty quick! Album name released, tour dates released.. but no track list left because they are still mixing.
Unusual compared to earlier releases.

Internet time.

I can't imagine what would have happened in '95...

Hmm, not very interesting... nicest sounding album, he says that every album

[LoveExpresso]

True, Dutchessy.

And he makes it completely sound as a pure technical process. Fair enough, as he engineered it completely, but I guess 80 % of the diary readers are looking for something different when awaiting the latest content.

I wrote it earlier that, for my impression, Guy was extremely reluctant, low-key, very reserved when it came to speaking about the recording and album.

I wonder if I only was not allowed to or if he really and honestly utters what he feels like - just a another job to do, no surprises to expect, let's concentrate on the wonderland of British Grove when the material is the usual stuff...

I understand the "touching" sentence from Bob Ludwig as a judgement of the "recording work", not of the work itself.

 Strangely, I can't find Tracker Studio Diary 3, except from the above link!    Have I missed something, somewhere?         

EDIT:   Problem solved!     I changed 2 to 3 in the web address!

Its not linked in the diary page yet so I assume is just a draft.

Guy has removed the content, anybody happened to copy whatever was on there?

[foma]

Lol you shouldn't be there! Guy's sense of humour is priceless.

[LoveExpresso]

So greetings to the good Doc if he reads THIS!

Technically he could be told by Dan about anomal activity on unpublished diary page.

Something about "best sounding recording ever" then "best studio ever" followed by "best album ever." 

[Jules]

Basically it said that they sent the songs to Bob Ludwig to do the mastering and bob sent it back mastered with a note remarking how nice it sounded.

Also that it sounds so well because the clasp system that allow them to record on analogue tape and put it on a hard disk immediately and that he did the whole engineering of the new cd without Chuck help, assisted by the in house engineers of British grove to which he is very grateful.

I do love the pictures of the studio gear, especially those old 'Abbey Road' mixer faders
Nice pic of Mark & Glynn too.

[LoveExpresso]

Fletch, I thought the same and was thinking about the Privateering booklet - there the pictures were also shot by Guy. These new ones have the high quality to be put into the Tracker Booklet, too. Maybe we will see one or the other. Always hope for an inforamtive, nice and commented boolet. Loved the Shangri-La comments by Mark, same with Get Lucky. Relating to this, the Privateering one was, apart from the great pics, rather disappointing.
