вЂњMusic that would work in it would have to be of a slower tempo and also the dynamics/volume of the music needed to be relatively soft,вЂќ said Gurton.Д«ut as it turned out, he couldnвЂ™t get access to the hall anyway, and had to look for a second option. Namely, the rich, long reverb of Australian Hall at AIM. Gurton had written a lot of the pieces for Prelude To A Scene with a specific reverb in mind. The team was really starting to take shape. Not only did he own a 24-channel Pyramix system, but heвЂ™s also one of the pre-eminent jazz recording engineers in the country. When the first option fell through, they got in contact with Ross AвЂ™Hern, which was a bit of a double-whammy.

The next step was attaining a Pyramix system, which arenвЂ™t in as ready supply as the average ProTools rig. вЂњBut youвЂ™d need DPA microphones and a Pyramix system recording in DSD or DXD.вЂќ Gurton laughed and flipped to the albumвЂ™s liner notes, which read, вЂњRecorded with DPA microphones and Pyramix DXD.вЂќ BUILDING THE PYRAMIX When he was done, Gurton asked him if he could make an album that sounded just like it. Simmons donned a good pair of headphones and took a listen. Catching up with Greg Simmons (AIM Audio Engineering lecturer and founding AT editor) in the student lounge, Gurton played him a 24-bit/96k version of The Hoff EnsembleвЂ™s A Quiet Winter Night.

But being able to pinpoint the brand of mics and system used to record their favourite album? Priceless.Д«en Gurton, professional trombone player and lecturer at the Australian Institute of Music (AIM), was on the hunt for the right engineer to record an album of Euro Jazz when he sought a fellow lecturerвЂ™s advice.

Having the right stuff to attract a client can amount to any number of things: A body of past work, word-of-mouth references, chance meetingsвЂ¦ they might just like the way you dress. Greg Simmons and Ross AвЂ™Hern discovered this little surprise when recording Ben GurtonвЂ™s Euro Jazz album. 16 January 2014 Ultra-high resolution can be more than purist boffinry it can inspire performance.
