Walt Disney - Was he a CD Master or an Audiophile?
What's an audiophile you ask? It is simply the word to describe a person dedicated to achieving very high standards in the recording and playback of music. A professional audio mastering engineer plays a vital role in the success of a recording. They can fine tune a recording so it appeals to all audiences and this is exactly what Walt Disney strove for. His high standards, expectations, and hiring of the right people (the best cd masters), has been passed on with much evidence.
Walt Disney Records is celebrating 50 years of achieving great success with their family audio entertainment business. This company appeals to the whole family, especially toddlers, kids and teens. It's not everyday a record label comes along and can boast about such outstanding achievements. They have earned hundreds of gold, platinum. and multi-platinum awards and several releases have hit the top-selling singles and soundtracks of all time.
To help celebrate their previous achievements and this significant mark of 50 years of recording they have created a much to talk about exhibit called "Disney:The Music Behind the Magic". This exhibit will display some of what has made Walt Disney so successful in the past 80 years. The exhibit will open on November 5, 2006 at the Experience Music Project in Seattle,Washington.
Also Walt Disney Records have plans to do some re-mastering of their timeless classic soundtracks. This re-mastering project will go back to help preserve some of WDR's rich musical history. The best way to approach this project will be to use their professional mastering engineers to digitally transfer and restore the earliest of classic recordings.
