TECHNICAL INFO

The GRANDMIX Summer Edition was digitally edited from the
original digital 12" masters, on the AKAI DD1500 Digital Audio Workstation.

This DD1500 has 28 hours of recording time at 44.1 KHz 16 bit stereo.
And can record up to 16 tracks simultaneously. The DD1500 does not
use any audio mp3 or other destructive data compression.
The DD1000's used for the previous mixes where limited to 1,5 hours.

First off all, all tracks were gathered on CD where much attention was
paid to selecting the original long dance mixes where possible.
All tracks were then digitally recorded form a Philips 850 CD player
into the Akai DD1500. After this task was completed the CD versions
were no longer needed, as every track was ready for use in the DD1500
library. Some rare masters were transferred from Sony F1 digital recordings.
If nothing else was available, vinyl copies were used which were recorded
into the DD1500 from a technics SL1200mkII turntable fitted with a new
Stanton 681EEE stylus, and a Studer turntable preamplifier.

Most of the tracks are unprocessed. Only a few tracks are digitally EQ'd,
in the DD1500 and only 2 are given some extra punch by adding some
compression using the Urei limiters.

All tracks were then checked for there exact BPM using a BPM counter
The tracks were then entered in a database and sorted by tempo and key.

The intro features the usual system droids, but this time, unaware of the
upcoming broadcast, they are all hanging out on a beach on Ibiza.
The main computer system struggles to get things working without its usual
assistants, which turns out to be pretty difficult. The voices, as usual, are
generated using the sennheiser vocoder

The mix was then mastered onto a Tascam DA30, where also the track id's were added

The CD was mastered and P&Q coded at Sony by Paul Adema. This is the
process of actually adding all the track ID's on the CD master to make it possible
to locate each song individually.
