Master Quality Duplication Reel Tape From the AAA Original Master Tape
Jochem Braat was born in Amsterdam in 1988, to a house full of jazz music. He played the clarinet for 8 years before one day suddenly putting his clarinet back in the case and the lifting the lid of the piano instead! He studied jazz piano at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome, and then obtained his master’s degree with Bert van den Brink at the Conservatory of Utrecht. He plays, and draws on, a wide variety of genres – from old, modern and contemporary jazz to classical, from Brazilian folk music to multi-synthesizer disco tracks. All of these influences can be heard in Jochem’s playing, arrangements and compositions.
Adrie Braat studied classical music at the Amsterdam Conservatory, after which he took lessons from John Clayton of the Count Basie Orchestra. At age 24 he joined Boy Edgar’s Orchestra, played in Jeff Reynolds’ Big Band and then from 1981 – 1988 played with the Dixieland Pipers led by Bert de Kort. Adrie is apparently famous for his Asian cooking (so we have that in common, I whip up a great Indian curry) and collects old 45rpm jazz records (yep, I have a few of those too).
Tijn Jans also graduated from the conservatory of Amsterdam as well as that of Rotterdam. He’s active as a teacher, composer and drummer, and is involved in an eclectic variety of music and arts projects crossing a breadth of genres and styles, including Luchtman, Maximalistica, Walk Tall and his own project The Tight Jans. Actually he strikes me as a bit of a renaissance man.
This Tape is carefully copied from a Philips EL3501 master recorder to 6 Philips N4522 recorders. We copy with CCIR equalization with reference level 320 nWb/m on halftrack 1/4" LPR35 tape from (Recording The Masters). Deliver on a special made silver or golden aluminum reel with a cut out STS logo (3X). We did our outmost best to give you the best quality possible, but remember it is analogue technology, there will be always some noise floor (we don't use Dolby) because it will kill the music enjoyment. Please listen with love for that old fashioned analogue recording technique. Make sure that you clean your heads regularly for optimal frequency response.
** It is standard practice in all recording studios to keep the tape "tail out". This reduces "pre-echo" and it means that the tape should be placed on the right hand side of the recorder, re-wound and then played.
"To begin with, the tapes are supplied in a custom, high quality made aluminum reel with the STS logo. The design is innovative and the color is beautiful. The very small "windows" make it difficult to thread the tape on the hub without leaving a "tape flag" protruding out as I like to thread my tapes, but this is just an small detail. The reel by itself if a collection piece.
"The tape is a LPR35 from Recording the Masters (former BASF) and comes neatly packed in the reel. Then, you have this nice looking cardboard box with the production cover picture labeled to the box. It's a high class presentation, second only to the extremely fancy "Open Reel Records" package. The STS box is a reminiscence of the glorious pre-recorded tapes of the 70's and their 7" boxes with the picture on it. It's easier and cheaper to just send a tape inside a generic box, but NO. STS prefers to spend a little more in order to give the customer something worth of the investment they do on this kind of products.
"Inside, you'll also find the "quality control" certificate, that also serve as the track list and a detailed description of their tape copy process.
"The copies are made from the master running on a Philips EL3501 to a bank of 6 Philips N4522. The equalization is to CCIR standards, 320 nWb, half track format and the sampler I received runs @ 15ips. The recording level was right on the money: not too low and not too loud. Just where it's suppose to be.
"They don't use Dolby, but the noise floor were extremely quiet!
"The sound quality is very good indeed. The instruments timbre is very accurate, the recording space is neatly distributed and you can pin point where're every musician, the stereo image is wide and well distributed with a very detailed presence and transparency. The illusion of "being there" is extremely realistic. I have the impression that this tape was meticulously mastered and if it's so, it was a great Mastering work. As a Mastering Engineer myself, I have found many nice recordings ruined by the Mastering process. Not this one. Well, Fritz has been doing this since the 70's, so, he must know a thing or 2 about recording and sound quality..." - Carlitos Guzman, Mono and Stereo Senior Contributor Writer
