Hot Off the Presses
Haunting Melodies, Gospel and Across the River in Digipak

    

No more cracked cases and broken hinges, these freshly repressed Marley's Ghost CDs are in an alternative CD eco-package. The digipak is a sturdy board package that unfolds to reveal the CD sitting securely in a plastic disc tray.

Going to the West by Ed Littlefield, Jr., was Sage Arts' first album to go digi. We are so pleased with the results that our other albums are going digi as they are repressed.

Haunting Melodies and Gospel – Remixed and Remastered

When Daniel Protheroe and Matthew Gephart, our sound engineers, mix a recording, they work with the individual tracks such as bass, drums, vocals, guitar, fiddle, then mix the tracks together to get the best sound.  After an album is mixed, it's mastered.

Mastering makes sure that the entire recording stands together as an album with consistent sound levels, breaks between songs, the best song sequence. Mastering polishes all the details and sets the tone for the album.

Sage Arts contracts mastering to Bob Katz of Digital Domain. He's a mastering master!

When we sell all of a particular CD, as we did with Haunting Melodies and Gospel, our sound engineers check out the original mix. Sometimes the mix can be improved because we have better mixing equipment than when the original mix was done. Such was the case with Haunting Melodies and Gospel, MG's first and fourth albums.

Across the River wasn't remixed because it was recorded more recently and the mix was fine.
