Opis

Remastering Music and Cultural Heritage presents a detailed account of the culture and practice of remastering music recordings. By investigating the production processes, social, nostalgic, and technological components of remastering practice, the book demonstrates the application of these techniques to iconic and unreleased studio recordings by artists such as The Beatles, Elton John, and Oasis.

Through comprehensive interviews with music production professionals directly involved in both the original productions and remastered releases of these iconic recordings - and detailed digital audio analysis - this book offers an extensive insight into music production and remastering practice. Readers learn about the music production techniques behind creating some of the most well-recognised and loved albums of all time, as well as the processes used to create the remasters, to help guide their own projects.

Remastering Music and Cultural Heritage is essential reading for students and teachers of mastering and music production, professional practitioners, and musicians.
