Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2004

Steve Hoffman, whose work in mastering and remastering of music recordings (as he calls it, "polishing the diamond") is well known in the audiophile world, gave two seminars over the course of the RMAF on the science and art of mastering. Steve shared many fascinating stories of his work with such music legends as Ray Charles, Sammy Davis, Jr., Paul McCartney, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Fleetwood Mac, and others, and provided master tape examples of both blunders and gems, which were played for the audience. If you're unfamiliar with Steve's work, visit his website at www.stevehoffman.tv for a more complete overview of his contributions to the world of quality sound. You'll also be able to participate in a lively chat room where music enthusiasts from all over the world convene to discuss music, recordings and the dynamic forces shaping the most important aspect of high end audio today - the recordings we play back on our music systems.
