Since yesterday's last release, Wilson Simonal - A Nova Dimensao do Samba (1964), a new approach to transfer vinyl to digital format was adopted, nothing great, but just a better combination among the resources available. I believe we have major improvements, something was happening, the transfers were producing an over amplified output, generating distortion in some cases. Thanks to everyone who collaborated, so I could find the best option.This album is kind of challenge, since it was found on a very bad shape, almost ready to be placed in the garbage. I believe the result is indeed surprising. I need your feedback on this one, please use the comment section to send thoughts, so I will no better if we got better. Additionally, this is a Carmen Costa career LP and they are very hard to find. Let's see.
This is Carmen Costa - A Grande Dama da Musica Brasileira (1981), for Continental, a little session, with only 30 minutes running time and ten songs, but a really great album with Carmen Costa backed up by great musicians, including Octavio Burnier, Paulinho Braga, J.T. Meirelles, Ed Maciel, Jamil Joanes, Mauricio Einhorn, among many others. Tracks include:

Dear Zeca, couldn`t you give us a small note about your new way of digitalizing vinil? I bet that are so many people interested on it!
yes, I agree with cvllos; a note on your new way of digitalizing would be most interesting.
very good sound , superb atmosphere and depth thanks for this what humanity to share so much good music thanks for all the love and peace with this music
Man, what a great album!
This will be added to my ipod for repeated listening.
Just listened to Wilson Simonal - A Nova Dimensao do Samba (1964 in order to compare the transfer from vinyl to digital format and the improvement is significant. The sound stage on the Carmen Costa album is wide and detailed and there is no harshness in the highs and the lows are punchy and firm.
Very interesting. Would you mind elaborate a bit on your current set up and what you have changed in order to achieve the improvement in sound?
Hello,
Sorry, life has been busy down here. I will make a detailed writing when I get back home tonight about transfers.
Regards, zeca
