ABOUT THE EVENT
Channel Classics Records is a quality record label based in Holland where Jared Sacks is director, producer and recording engineer. Having grown up in Boston, Massachusetts and studied at Oberlin Conservatory and the Amsterdam Conservatory of Music with 15 years of experience playing French Horn, Jared decided to make his hobby of recording a profession in 1987. The label started in 1990, named after the street he lived on in Amsterdam. Jared has been specialising in Direct Stream Digital (DSD) recordings since 2000, when he was asked by Philips and Sony to help implement the technology. The first generation in this format was the super audio CD (SACD). 20 years on with great technological advances, the digital analog converter (DAC) has now replaced the CD player, allowing instant recall of music in stereo and multichannel. The DAC recognises the format coming in and translates it into analog that then travels to the speakers. The process of preparing files is another matter that takes substantial time with many misconceptions as to what is possible and not. Jared will present some of his recordings (having made over 400), and talk about the set-up as well as the post-production process in DSD/DXD.
