Bowers & Wilkins are working together with Real World on a unique and exciting collaboration called Society of Sound.
Bowers and Wilkins has asked Real World to commission or source 12 new albums a year to be available through an exclusive subscription only music download club – curated by Real World Studios and Peter Gabriel. Many of the albums are recorded at Real World Studios. The aim is to deliver high-quality digital audio – the albums are available as digital downloads at 24 bit/48 khz quality and accessible as FLAC or Apple Lossless files.
“The brand of B&W and Real World are both associated with excellence and innovation; the challenge of the new and unexplored. Society of Sound aims to seek out and present new music that demands a platform to be heard – whether it is outstanding undiscovered artists or well-known musicians looking to make recordings in an unexpected way. The diversity of music offered intends to delight, entertain and sometimes challenge the discerning listener. The only essential criteria is quality – both of the audio experience and the passion and integrity of the performance. The music selected will not be restricted by genre, language or geographical source – whether it is jazz, rock, classical or world music – it is for the enjoyment of those who have open ears.”
Bowers & Wilkins has grown from its cottage industry origins to become the global leader in high-end speakers and audio systems:
“Breaking every convention in our relentless pursuit of improvement, our speakers consistently set the benchmark in performance and design and are now used as standard in the most demanding recording studios around the world – as well as the homes of discerning sound enthusiasts everywhere.
“Throughout our 40-year history, we’ve met a lot of people who share our passion for sound. We thought it was time we brought them together. The Society of Sound is a meeting place for people who love sound. It’s somewhere to come for inspiration, where you can find out about people who are using sound creatively. It’s also a resource for hearing from people who have challenging ideas about the future of sound. Last but not least, the Society of Sound is an expression of Bowers & Wilkins ongoing dedication to revealing sound in all its glory.”
Look what i found and i think its quite interesting
How does it work?
You send us multitrack WAV audio files of the song or songs either by uploading them to our ftp site or by mail on a data DVD, and we wire you back the stereo master mixes completed to the level of your choice from the selection below. At the highest level it will involve broadcasting the mix live to your home or studio while in conversation with the engineer. We also suggest you send a Spotify playlist of reference material as a stylistic guide for the mix engineer – musical influences and songs you’d like your mixes to sit with.
Mix Levels
Our mixes are performed in stages and the level to which you take it is down to you and your budget. Stepping the cost makes certain you are liking the results as it evolves and also ensures you don’t waste money on something that might be flawed, for example, by the original recording. You can also combine the mix with our mastering services for best value.
Monitor Mix
This is a static balance with basic processing to give a rough idea of the direction the mix is going. It will have all the tone and energy of a mix but lack the dynamics and transitions that mark a finished record. It will come with an Engineer’s Report giving you their opinion on quality and potential. If you like this you can opt to upgrade to the next stage…
eMIXING
As a world-renowned recording studio, Real World has witnessed the making of countless global successes and continues to play host to many of the most talented musicians around. Our eMixing service gives you the opportunity to have your recording mixed in this hallowed environment by a top UK mix engineer at a price that might surprise you. It’s hard to get your music noticed amongst the oceans of sounds around and this may just add the fairy dust it needs.
Master Mix
This is a dynamic mix that, to the engineer’s ears, is how the final record should be heard. Vocals will be refined and ridden to hold the listener’s attention. Instrumentation balances are automated to realise the dynamic intention and musical changes shaped to enhance the composition. With mixing such a subjective process there will undoubtedly be bits you’d like to change in which case you can opt for the next step…
What do you get?
The mixes you receive for listening reference are ‘jiffy mastered’ 16-bit WAV files which means that they have gone through a basic maximising process so that they can be realistically compared to other records at similar volumes. Once the mix is approved an unprocessed 24-bit WAV file will be created for use in the final mastering process. As well as the final mix, you will also get instrumental and a capella versions for any other eventualities that might occur.
We’ll keep the mix sessions backed up for a year so that you can always come back to us for changes in the future if needs be.
Soundcloud
We host a Soundcloud community to which you can add your mixes if you so wish. This is great for feedback from like-minded artists and for exposure.
