This was a question asked by Marc Philip who wrote an article about Blue Coast Records. Marc was an exceptional acoustical designer who built amazing diffusers. We met him many years ago at an audiophile show. He is now retired, living in France and writing for Magazine-Audio.

Marc asked a lot of interesting questions about our label, recording techniques, mixing and mastering. If you’re interested to know more about our artists, label and studio, have a read!

Below is an excerpt of the article. Enjoy the photos!

Blue Coast Records records live without overdubs. We want the listener to feel as if the musicians are playing in front of them. We often leave countoffs and comments in the mixes to help create the live in the studio feeling. We call this style of recording E.S.E. (Extended Sound Environment).

Instruments and voices bleed into each other’s microphones. This creates its own challenges. By « bleed » I mean the amount of sound from one instrument going into another’s microphone. As difficult as it is, the result is better dynamics, intimacy and togetherness in the performance.

Some of the recordings (like Mutineer with Jenna Mammina and Matt Rollings) have an audiophile group sitting in the recording room with them. It was an experience the audiophiles will never forget…. and they never made a peep of sound during the recordings.

Here is a link to the downloads and streaming previews of this album.
