An introduction...

I'm sure anyone who is visiting this blog for the first time will probably sit there and wonder "what the hell is all of this? Audiography Project? Pfft..."

Allow me to explain.

The whole point of this project is to build a huge music archive, in the best possible quality. Unfortunately, there's a lot of pre-1995 albums that have been given poor treatment. When CDs officially became the norm in 1990, a lot of albums were basically rushed onto CD. While a good portion of them have eventually been remastered with improved sound quality, and even bonus tracks, there's still a lot to go. Factor in anything that never got a CD release, and the list grows even more. What is a boy to do?

I've been working with audio editing programs since I was 13. I've basically fiddled with all (or close to all) of the features that they have. My program of choice is Adobe Audition 1.5 (I've tried the later editions, and to be honest, I just don't dig them...1.5 offers everything that I'm looking for).

The first remaster I ever did was the album "Revenge" by KISS...this was in 2007. Why I didn't make a blog 3 years ago to talk about it...who knows. Since then, I've done my fair share of albums that remain as barebones, plain-as-day CD releases. You'll get to hear them soon enough. I'm working on getting an external hard drive, to store all of these FLAC files...then it's seed, seed, seed from there. It won't be limited to just custom remasters either. This is "the audiography project" afterall, so we will gather anything and everything music-related, whether the song is from 2010, or 1910!

Every chance I get, I'll either post a preview of an upcoming project, or I'll just post links to finished and shared projects. Feel free to comment, and give your input on stuff. More to come soon...
