The Beatles Remastered Box Sets

By Harold Laurence Quesenberry

The Beatles studio albums were initially remastered digitally for compact disc back in the 1980s at that time digital mastering was a relatively new art and since then plenty has been learned about how to master more effectively but even more important is that at that time the digital technology was still in it's infancy in comparison to today.

The many forward movements in technology and all of the information learned of how to best remaster original analog tapes digitally have been put to good use with the Beatles remasters of 2009. On September 9 The Beatles released both The Beatles in Stereo and The Beatles in Mono. And both box sets sound absolutely fantastic. If you've yet to hear 'em, I recommend you get your hands on The Beatles remasters as soon as you can.

Which kind of Beatles remasters should you buy? Well for this Beatles fan the answer was, without a doubt, "both of them" but if you can only choose one you will most likely go with the Beatles in Stereo because it includes all thirteen of their studio albums and most folks do like the stereo mixes more than the mono mixes.

The mono box set is more for serious Beatles fans who want to hear all of the differences between the mono and stereo mixes (and sometimes they are really quite different) and for fans who want to hear The Beatles how they originally heard them (this, of course, applies to the original fans who were there for The Beatles in the flesh back in the 60s.)

As of December 8, 2009 there's a third choice: The Beatles USB Memory Stick. This USB stick includes The Beatles in Stereo Box Set in a little thing you can easily hold in your hand. Isn't that cool? It actually contains all of their albums in two formats; high quality mp3s and better than CD quality 24bit FLAC.

That "better than CD quality" bit is what will bring in a good amount of audiophiles but for casual fans it's the high quality mp3s that'll that'll be added to the iPod. - 18762

Hi-Hat Drum Samples - 2 Mistakes

By John Gellei

The hi-hat drum samples available today are as varied as they are popular. With basically every kick drum and snare combination, you can find a hi-hat working away in the background, patient and contributing throughout a song. The effect of a hi-hat cannot really be measured, but suffice it to say that your favorite songs would sound a lot different without the hi-hat (or simply hat) patterns supporting the main acts.

The two mistakes made by producers are not just the domain of amateur producers who may not know better, but also of professional music producers and beat makers.

The first mistake we need to address is the volume. Hip hop drum samples need to be loud, we all understand that there is a loudness war, but the hi-hat is one exception. It is said by some biology and evolutionary experts that many thousands of years ago aerial predators were attacking us that made noises that have similar frequencies like those in hi-hats and cymbals. We simply have a tendency to hear these sounds more than others, so lowering them a few DB below where you think they should go is a smart move.

Mixing the hi-hats in a little bit lower is great practice - two or three decibels should do. Unless you're going to 'mix out' these samples completely, you can go pretty low and still be sure that your audience will pick them up. Remember that for every six decibels up or down, the sound doubles or halves respectively.

The second mistake that gets a lot of attention in audiophile circles regarding hi-hat drum samples is the lack of authenticity in songs. If you're developing a MIDI track for a rock song and decide to include, say, a 1/16th constant hi-hat pattern throughout every bar, you need to be wary of the possibility of other instruments to play off this constant hit. Your drummer should not be hitting the hi-hat, snare, tom and cymbal all at the same time, as this is practically impossible to achieve with two and even three arms if that came along. So aim for an authentic pattern, especially if you're producing rock tracks and other genres where the ability to replicate the sample track in a live setting is a necessity. If, for instance, you're making a dance track, the realness can be toned down a bit or completely dismissed, as there is a general acceptance in your listener that this is all made on a drum machine or sequencer. So you can really go wild here and not worry about those rules.

You can learn a great deal using professional drum sequencing sample libraries and sets like EZ Drummer and BFD. These will show you the physical implications and deliver standard and advanced patterns that you can immediately digest and take in mentally, noting what works and what doesn't work. Then apply what you learn to your own songs. - 18762
