These many projects in the pipeline - was GVM a manager in the IT industry before he started making films?

raja_fan,

Solla mudiyaadhu. GVM idhaye avar statusA pottAlum poduvaaru

The promotion of NEVP is a good example of how very aggressive marketing can kill your expectation. Now I have lost all interest on when this will be released

ippo dhaan seriya paakkurEn; esp this...
"After the astounding success of Nee thane En pon vasantham ( yet to be released ), Gowtham and Jeeva are joining hands again.
The shooting will be on the floors after "Thuppariyum Anandan" with Surya which will be after Assi Nabbe Poorey Sau ( the Hindi remake of the tamil blockbuster Nee thane En ponvasantham which ran to packed houses ) which will be after Yohan with Vijay."

Shank & Kiru,

So,w hat does remastering mean? I read somewhere (posted by Agimusic Aginal) that the firestar collection by finders keepers records was made after they went to IR's studios and remastered from the original recording. what does that mean? Can someone explain?

Probably, they got hold of the analog tapes and converted that to digital/CD format (I am guessing).Remastering from analog is much more beneficial than from digital mixes. Probably Shank is more "hands-on" in this area.

[Shank]

Yes, what Kiru says is part of it. There are lots of nuances. Remastering can involve converting analog masters to a digital master. It can also involve taking previous digital masters and mastering them again. Essentially, in the mastering process, the engineer works on reducing static, hiss etc in the original recording. Given that in the early 80s, most of Raja's tracks would have been a stereo master and possibly analog (since Digital got prominence from mid 80s on), a publisher had to master the original to not just transfer the signal/sound, but also add clarity, spacing between instruments as well as any effects like surround sound. Remastering would involve taking a published master and mastering it again for any of the afore-mentioned needs. Typically engineers use a host of techniques including equalization to achieve this. However the danger is that the engineer has to know the material enough so that he doesn't space it out so much that it sounds weak. Since the original recordings have so much depth and warmth, the engineer has to know the balance in mastering so that the richness and tonal quality is not lost and the sound doesn't degrade to shrillness. Today, given that the masters themselves are digital and in multi-track (we use at least 48 tracks), there's not much remastering to do other than perhaps remixing it for certain re-releases etc. The key also is that the original was mixed a certain way by the mixing/sound engineer and the mastering engineer has to ensure that the soul of that is not lost in the process of mastering by enhancing other background tracks etc (not intended by the composer).

Also, remastering happens for films as well where color correction techniques, editing etc are applied to create a new master. For those who might not know, most of the film masters are in the hands of producers, some of whom are now defunct. We don't have a library of masters like they do in Hollywood. So, a Mani Rathnam might not have access to the master of Mouna Ragam, for example. Many of the original film masters are in shambles now.

If I may add...Some of the recent remasters have been too bright (too much EQ-ing) or adding compression which results in the song being very loud and loses its original quality . Recently acquired "ilaiyaraaja - fire star - synth-pop and electro-funk from tamil films" on vinyl with lots of expectation. The whole thing sounds very digital to me. Some of the songs are good.. but, the rest are no match to the original ACD quality. Nothing can beat Analog Tape Masters. Some of the newer remaster CD's that I acquired is not up to my expectation. I'm looking into creating DSD files out of old Vinyl of IR (instead of 24 bit, 192 khz). The sampling rate for DSD is 64 times that of the CD sampling rate(44.1). The idea is to preserve the entire signal spectrum as is. Once I get this file, I can then apply EQ in the Digital domain without affecting the source. Its a very interesting and expensive project...

I bought a 'digitally remastered' IR' collection CD by AGI music recently. The sound quality is nothing to shout about. I have heard better quality sound of the same songs back in the 80's. Dunno what the digitally remastered.

Its already 1st week of July. Where is our NEP music releasing? Kaathirinthu kaathirinthu kaaalangal poguthudi,,,,,,,,
