Claire Martin - Too Much In Love To Care

[Miska]

192/24 Studio Master download from Linn.

 

Looks like recorded in 96k, upsampled (with less good algorithm) to 192k and then edited in 192k. Notice the frequency mirror effect at 48 kHz and the edits.

I have downloaded this album. After reading your post, I've emailed Linn asking for their confirmation that it was truly sampled at 24/192 and not up-sampled from 24/96.

I also sent them email with the pic. All the tracks have similar effect around 48 kHz. Let's see what they'll answer.

I was very disappointed with the sound as well of the 192/24 version.

Considering the influence of this web site, Linn would be foolish not to respond to Miska's assertions. Expect they will.

Thank you for your e-mail.

 

The recording was made in Avatar Studios, on a Pro Tools rig which was set

to record at 192kz. The recording was mixed 'in the box' (i.e. in pro-tools

rather than through an analogue mixing desk) and from the look of the

spectrum it would appear that the plug-in used as the vocal compressor is

limited to 96kz. However it was the compressor that sounded best on

Claire's voice, so that's what we went with.

 

If you look at the piano and drum transients it is clear that there is real

data above 48kz, part of this due to the use of Sanken Co-100k omnis on the

piano.

 

I hope this helps to clarify things for you.

 

Best Regards

At least that's what I call good customer service. I recently had contact with the same Colin, he's really very helpful.

I got the same response. And have been trying to see the parts above 48k that are not mirrors (digital images) of things below 48k... I found some transients that could be.

 

 

How much there is leak from other instruments to the vocal track? Or does Claire's voice have such strong ultrasonics? How does ProTools handle situation when one track of a mix needs to be 96k? I don't know...

 

I'm just curious why there are such strong digital images/alias around 48k. Of course ProTools data at SRC Comparisons gives some information...
