*UPDATED* Message from Allan Rouse @ Abbey Road BEATLES CD's (SEE POST 84)*

Required reading for the remasters thread!

 

Interesting read; thanks very much for that!

 

Great work Allan..... These sound really, really good. Well done.

Can't wait for the vinyl.

 

Well, that just goes to show. We matter!

Thanx, Allan.

 

Thanks for the clarification. Very much appreciated!

 

Allan,
Thank you for taking the time to give us all an insight on the project.
I appreciate the efforts of you and your team and look forward to hearing the results of your work. I certainly do get your sense of humor. It appears to be close to my own! lol!

Just a clarification needed: is he saying that the '87 CDs were also mastered from the original tapes?

 

Yes, thanks for setting the record straight. Speculation, and rumors can be a distraction, plus unfounded. Great posts, and communication.

 

Thank you, Allan, for taking the time to write to us. It has me eagerly anticipating Sept. 9th all the more. I'm looking forward to enjoying everything you've worked so hard on the last four years.

 

please, don't read my question as stupidity, was hard to do that here in the middle of gods and wises and can be completely off-topic.
i'm proud and thankful of Allan Rouse message posted here.

i don't know the physical dimentions/size of the mono head used to record but full track head can read the entire mono tape as have physical seperation between each channel ?

 

very clever.
thanks so much for fast and precise answer.

 

Allan Rouse, a great two thumbs up!

 

If the mono tape -- one signal -- is read by a stereo tape head -- two channels -- and the stereo tape head is not in *perfect alignment* then there can be phasing issues which will muddy the sound. Using a single-channel mono head to read a single-signal mono tape is the ultimate solution!

 

Thanks for for all your hard work, and sleepless nights.

 

@ Veech
agree!
we can sum the physical "metal" between each channel in the stereo head that can't read anything losing part of the signal and that can add little noise(hiss)?
gee..i don't know if i'm clever, bad english.

 

Jorge: Think of the 1987 With The Beatles. That was transferred on a stereo tape head, and it has the phase problems that Veech was talking about. That's why that CD sounds kind of muddy and off.

 

Thank you, Allan!

You and your team are making this forum's dreams come true!

 

completely clever.

thanks to EveryLittleThing and Kevin!

 

Thanks so much, Allan, for sharing with us your valuable insight and for putting so much love and care into these upcoming Beatles releases! There's no doubt we all appreciate the hard work you and the rest of the remaster team have put into making this music sound the best it has ever sounded.

 

Thank You sir for clearing up some these issues. Very much appreciated

 

Thanks for posting here. It is much appreciated. After reading a number of reviews and interviews I have pre-ordered the mono box, I am so looking forward to it!!!!

 

Allan thank you for your interest in our thoughts and your responses. Very happy to see this today. Also, it sounds like you and your team have been doing some fine work.

Steve, big clap to you and all of us for how this community has expanded and more people want to be involved. We've come a long way from the DCC boards.................

Best,
Todd
