晚上随手挑了一张水星公司的黑胶,内容是PEPE ROMERO的FLAMENCO!,这张应该属于相当经典的录音,注意到唱片封套背面的一段注解,非常有兴趣,贴上来给大家看看
FLAMENCO!
Played by the spanish guitarist
PEPE ROMERO
Notes about this recording
The sessions which produced this album took place in Fine Rrcording Company's Studio A, which was at one time a small ballroom with a tiny stage at one end. Here Mr. Romero sat, facing the microphones (three for the stereo version, one for the monaural) which had been hung so as to preserve the proper intimate atmosphere. Once the controls were adjusted to the delicate sound of the guitars. Mr. Romero bent his head to his instrument and began to improvise the music recorded on this disc. No controls were changed, no microphones moved for any special effects. This is exactly the way the artist sounded.
Harold Lawrence was the musical director for the session, and Clair Van Ausdall was his associate. The basic set-up was supervised by Wilma Cozart and C. R. Fine. The chief engineer was William Blachly. George Piros made the tape-to-disc transfer for the stereo version, John Johnson for the monaural.
在文字里面提到了水星录音的2个经典标准,其一是3个麦克风摆位(立体声录音),其二是在整个录音过程中,绝对不会调整设备的设定(主要应该是电平)和麦克风的摆位。联想到手上的一些水星唱片在大动态的时候有电平被吹破的现象,估计这个也应该是水星坚持的录音标准吧。
开此贴,基于自己的2个原因,一是手上有一百多张水星的CD和几十张水星的黑胶,另一个就是自己系统的扬声器ALTEC原本就是水星公司录音时的御用扬声器(常用的好像是603)。
希望各位烧友前辈能畅所欲言,谈谈自己对水星公司录音和唱片的见解。 |
