Master Reference Specifications:

UDR (Re)Master represents a digital version of an album that has the best dynamics and overall sound quality. This may be a digital source or an analog source like a vinyl pressing or a tape. Usually this is a master with a Dynamic Range of at least 12.

XDR (Re)Master represents a digital version of an album using the best source available, but has enhanced Dynamics. Various techniques are applied in the highest resolution possible to retrieve the Dynamics and Headroom that were lost due to the use of the commonly known 'Loudness Wars' techniques. The target sweetspot is a Dynamic Range of at least 12 but if the end results are not "better" sounding or have distortion it will not be used.

FDR (Re)Master represents a digital version of an album that has no true great sounding master (in the public domain) and was extensively "tinkered with". These versions may not sound great at least they are more pleasant to listen to than the versions found in the stores.

- DELL T3400 workstation (completely rebuild for ultimate performance with SSD stand-alone workdrive as #SLAVE) > 64bit stream > DELL OptiPleX 7040e XL Fatty

Streams are always fed in 64bit floathing point, 192 kHz, 96, or 48kHz, depending on the source.

- A variety of apps and suites to work on the soundfiles, anything that does the job really. Rule of thumb, when I don't need to correct it I won't. The more pure the feeding signal the better the end results.
