Behind-the-Scenes at the Original Source - Your Questions Answered Part 3

Rainer Maillard and Sidney C. Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios Speak!

Continuing this video series produced by Emil Berliner Studios that takes you behind-the-scenes of the Original Source Series.

It's been just over two years since Deutsche Grammophon launched its series of AAA vinyl reissues mastered directly from the original 4 and 8-track master tapes of treasured recordings from its 1970s catalogue. In response to collectors' numerous questions concerning every aspect of this important audiophile reissue series, Rainer Maillard and Sidney C. Meyer of Emil Berliner Studios take you behind-the-scenes of every aspect of the Original Source. This is the third of what will be an ongoing series of videos.

In Part 3 you'll learn about the differences between studio and "live" recordings, acoustic parameters, differences between recording venues, and the role of subjective preferences.
