Allan Schwartzberg Interview

[TodayMueller]

Schwartzberg: “They called me in and I did the drums over (without credit). There was a big tall blonde guy playing drums with them at the time and they weren’t happy with his tracks. From what I’ve been told, he never knew and I guess he eventually found out, but he didn’t know it wasn’t him… That’s kind of crazy


.

Referring to Neal as "a big tall blonde guy" is a ****' insult !
If Schwartberg don't know who Neal is, he must be senile.
Whether Schwartberg played on MOL or not is hard to say, but I'll take Neal's word for it. Anyway, I can't beleive it would improve the album one bit.

You would only know about Schwartzberg if you reed the credits on certain albums. Neal was a member of one of the world's greatest bands, and AS doesn't know ?

Hoffman is an audio mastering engineer and as Pitkin mentioned he did the recent Audio Fidelity 24k Gold CD releases.

From his Wikipedia entry:

His approach to remastering is a minimalist one, often eschewing many common processing steps in order to present a true representation of the original master tapes. He attains this by avoiding compression, limiting, equalization and noise reduction.

While there is talk about his mastering work on there, the forum is a great community of music fans who discuss all sorts of different music from obscure to popular.
