Music in the Original Philips Age

Lew Davies & His Orchestra - Music In The Original Philips Age

Lew Davies and His Orchestra with Special Guest Bobby Darin and Julie London. These recordings are from a Philips Norelco in the USA. We must say the trombones sound excellent we have never heard this amazing sound before.

Lew Davies is an American bandleader, composer and arranger.

In STS Analog Recording, you will find:

1. The warm sound, that acoustic instruments possess on their own but is often not captured by sound technicians.
2. Acoustic placing and recognition of the musicians in the recording space.
3. Phase purity of a recording, both the electric phase (good cable/fibre connections etc), and the acoustic phase must be acquired through proper placement of the microphones.
4. Symmetry in the recording; this means always placing the microphones in such a way that on both the left and the right side there’s an equal division of signal, and not placing mono support microphones on the extreme left and right.
5. Transparency and clarity in a recording. This does not mean an overly sharp recording, but one of softness in tone and clarity, in which especially the 3-dimensional recording space is being displayed.

Every step they check the results and compare the process with the original recordings. If you listen to STS music productions remember that they did their utmost best to get for you all the benefits of our effort to go far beyond the best of the best.
