Tom Baker - Precision Mastering

Postby Patrick M » Mon Aug 09, 2004 2:53 pm

Anyone familiar with this guy?

As I mentioned in this thread, he did the mastering on the remixed first Megadeth album. He also apparently got the mastering gig for all the Megadeth remasters that came out recently. Check out the before and after on the last track of Rust in Peace:

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry when people say "this (usually older) CD isn't very good because it's not loud enough."
"I know because it is impossible for a tape to hold the compression levels of these treble boosted MFSL's like Something/Anything. The metal particulate on the tape would shatter and all you'd hear is distortion if even that." - VD

I assume it's not the guy who played the Fourth Doctor.

I always knew the sonic screwdriver was useful, but I didn't know it could do *that*.
