UNCOMPRESSED WORLD VOL. II

It was in fact a small experiment when in 2009 the record Label ACCUSTIC ARTS AUDIOPHILE RECORDING was founded. Yet one year later with the issue of "Uncompressed World Volume 2" it is clear that the experiment has succeeded. There are many music lovers who appreciate our compilation series dedicated to the audiophile work of producers, audio engineers and musicians. We are very happy about the positive feedback of the first volume and have decided to carry
on with Volume 2.
Where volume 1 included 13 instrumental tracks, with Volume 2 we now present a total of 15 different, excellent recordings with the focus on the female voice. Thus volume 2 features voices of 15 female singers from Europe and the US. The voices are all different and yet they have something in common: the tracks have a high musical and excellent sound quality. Along with a number of well-known names, there are also singers on the CD who are mostly unknown to the listener. Let
yourself be pleasantly surprised by the recordings, just as we were in the course of our extensive research and pre-listening activities.

Important mastering insights on Uncompressed World Vol. 2:
Similar to Vol. 1 the tasks set was to bring the variety of the selected songs which have been recorded in different time periods and with different recording formats
to the final master with zero loss of quality. Pro Tools HD system was used to adjust the songs with the provided different formats and levels. Just like with Vol. 1 the POW-R #1 dithering algorithm was used to convert some tracks to 44.1 khz / 16 bits. For the ideal no loss basis the CD premastering was done with Sonic Pre Master on DDP.
For the monitoring of Uncompressed World Vol. 2 we used ACCUSTIC ARTS AMP II - MK 2, TUBE-PREAMP II as well as TUBE-DAC II SE on the electronics side as well as the PROLINE MK 3 speakers in a special crossover configuration in the nearfield.

15. Mai 2009 FIRST RELEASE
UNCOMPRESSED WORLD VOL. I

In 2009 ACCUSTIC ARTS the World renowned and Award winning High End Audio brand of SCHUNK AUDIO ENGINEERING (SAE) located in Southern Germany, joined forces with the music-production and recording branch of SAE ‘Evolve Studios’ to establish a new Audiophile record label ACCUSTIC ARTS RECORDS. Our philosophy is to promote audiophile music in a way that appreciates the work of the producers, engineers and musicians putting emphasis on the recorded music to be released.

These experts rarely in the spotlight preferring the dim lights of their studios over the hype and publicity that dominates the music world today, yet it is these people and their production/recording knowledge, experience and skills which are the true basis of any outstanding piece of music. Putting emphasis and focus on these masterminds of music is also the basic idea of the first in the series, ‘Uncompressed World’.

Important mastering insights on Uncompressed World Vol. 1:
For the first volume we have been concentrating on instrumental music pieces only, putting instruments and recording depth in focus. The tasks we set with the songs on Uncompressed World Vol. 1, (which have been very carefully selected from numerous listening sessions in terms of recording quality), was to bring them to the final
Master with zero loss of quality. Not an easy task indeed, as the individual tracks have been recorded in different time periods. The material therefore was recorded with different recording formats and levels and required to be adjusted. This was done by using a Pro Tools HD system. After many comparisons we decided to use the POW-R #1 dithering algorithm to convert some tracks to 44.1 khz/16 bits. The CD pre mastering itself was done with Sonic Pre Master on DDP to also work on an ideal no loss basis.

We hope you enjoy the music on this CD as much as we enjoyed compiling it and wish you many hours of musical pleasure with ‘Uncompressed World Vol. 1’.

Official release date July 1st 2009.
