"Steve, sorry to ask you again, but how would have you handled thirty years ago the mastering of a very specific 1964 album?"
Also, notice that "the MoFi scandal [is] in full swing" apparently.

I have a shit ton of records RVG engineered albums, I don't own one Steve Hoffman "mastering". So fuck you again, Hoofy. Steve would walk over his own children to be able to claim to have recorded something like Miles Davis' Prestige quadrilogy (Workin, Steamin, Cookin, Relaxin), but in the end he was never even worthy of wiping the dust off of Rudy Van Gelder's recording console.

He must also be mad that his mastering secret (boosting the midrange and going through a tube amp then slapping a lengthy poat on his forum about how his version was the first one properly done) wouldn’t work as usual with these recordings and that he was forced to work an extra fifteen minutes to make Kevin do the necessary adjustments before it had the Breath of Life (tm).

How many minutes did it take for Kevin Gray to add his signature distortion?

Surely the world's best mastering engineer should know how to steal store tapes.. yikes All those priceless Buddy Holly, Ray Charles, and Steely Dan master reels, just being stacked horizontally on a random shelf like no one paid for it...

I guess not all recording studios can be as sophisticated as STeVe’s basement with a laptop and two speakers to remasturbate on. A laptop? Doesn't he still use a DAT machine? Little birdie told me he that he no longer has a working DAT deck.

I wonder how many extra discs were needed when STeVe screwed up the so-called “mastering?”

At Audio Fidelity, they also had a special dedicated someone who checked each and every booklet, disk, etc. of each and every package before they were shrunk to check for any problems. Except of course for the first Pretenders album where some heavy limiting was "supposedly" applied after "he" had "remastered" the album, between the studio and the pressing factory, and nobody at QC noticed. Sheesh…

Thanks Sparky. I thought I was having a seizure for a second. It can be two things.
