I wish those early FTDs had been mastered better, because content-wise, they're ace (So High, Out In Hollywood, etc.). I definitely return to them more often than most other FTDs.poormadpeter2 on Sat Nov 11, 2017 2:13 pm wrote:Let's put the Last Movies disc in context.

They may know more than we do but as the end product user, who listens to these things repeatedly, experience has enabled us to tell the difference between a good remaster and a poor remaster (think earlier FTD's as remastered by Lene Riedel vs. the more recent FTD's mastered by Sebastian Jeansson) any pair of discerning ears could tell the difference. We all know that really; any comments to the contrary really just come across as disingenuous...drjohncarpenter wrote:As I thought.Mike Windgren on Sat Nov 11, 2017 5:10 pm wrote:Nodrjohncarpenter on November 12th, 2017, 1:51 am wrote:Do you have a background in audio engineering and digital mastering?Mike Windgren on Sat Nov 11, 2017 11:23 am wrote:Agree, very nice release but it could have been a better sounding cd if it was remastered by the actual FTD engineers music team.

Source: https://www.elvis.com.au/presley/joan-deary-and-elvis-presley.shtmlA little known fact is Joan herself recorded the Aloha Special in Hawaii. She was given a room the size of a closet and boxes to sit on. From her 'closet' she couldn't see Elvis, but could only hear him. She sat on a box with the RCA recording equipment also on boxes. and recorded the now famous 'Aloha from Hawaii'.

There is no "Good Source" = Studio tape for this extremely valuable recording.PiersEIN wrote:"Good Source" = Studio tape
"Not Good Source" = Acetate
And a well-mastered and restored acetate can sound very good indeed, as this new FTD release makes quite clear. To refer to it as "Not Good Source" = Acetate shows a limited mindset.
But maybe more members should use random bold font in their comments, so they can be more like you.
I was only using bold to try and make it easier for you to understand as I thought you missed the point.
To be honest suggesting the opposite of what YDKM said, and that "Not Good Source" = Acetate is actually a "Good Source" shows an old person's mind set.
Someone on this message board recently posted that "wire recordings" were too obscure to be even mentioned in a book that discussed early fifties recordings.
Below is the audio spectrum of the 'I'm A Roustabout' acetate (top) vs the following track 'Little Egypt' below.
As anyone can see the dynamic range of the acetate is totally limited (as one would expect) whereas the studio tape shows a wide dynamic range.
"Good Source" = Studio tape
"Not Good Source" = Acetate
I am happy to explain more about how audio recording and various audio formats work if you want to PM me - I have worked in audio departments for several decades as part of my career in TV broadcast.
You need to be less argumentative with other's opinions about FTD product that they have bought -and have listened to - and have formed their own opinions about.

He has just challenged others.
and remember how he relied so much on MATTHEW for audio quantifying and back-up in audio debates?
I had many many discussions with Matthew (sadly no longer here) as well as other FTD engineers.
They all tell interesting stories.

Raving about 1976 soundboards is merely about having an opinion, however contentious some may find it.
On the other hand, fabrication of one's personal history and experience simply in order to score a point is a considerably greater misdeed. Common sense dictates that.
