Original Dixieland Jazz Band - Dixie Jazz Band one step - 1917

Details

Description

This record at least 93 years old

Recorded using my self biult Pre Amp i named the Mark XIII
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever be able to own this record. Its the first commercial available Jazz record ever. Even though this and many copies of this recording show obvious signs of heavy plays and abuse they all have a sound willing to coxed out of them. Fate brought Charles Snooy into victor that day so he could man the cutting lathe and put the Original Dixieland jazz band to record with his expert knowledge shown on the Victor military bands records came into use for the first record by this band and what a record. As with all my records Im suggestive in determining what speed to play the records and mostly I use my prior experiences. I fully believe that the speeds that I choose faithfully reproduce the intended sound. So to most I employ you to listen on a new perspective of the sound of the Dixieland Jass Band.

This good example of the best sound I can achieve using the equipment I have available. And its funny how I got the idea to layer the sound and adjust the lows, mids and highs separately and then layer it onto the original unaltered recording. I restore old photographs as a hobby and sometimes I use layers of one photo to restore details and contrast. One night I said to myself cant I apply the same principal to sound. Please comment and maybe Ill put another video explaining the process I developed.
