PODCAST: Well Made Music & DSD?

With thousands of mastering credits over 13 years, audio engineers from Well Made Music discuss why they use DSD in mastering.

In this episode of the eCoustics podcast, Mitch Anderson sits down with Chief Engineer, Clint Holley and Senior Mastering Engineer, Dave Polster from Well Made Music to discuss the DSD audio format. Well Made Music located in Bristol, Virginia has over 1700 mastering credits to its name on Discogs, and not one, not two, not three, but four Neumann record cutting lathes inside their mastering facility. 

This episode takes a look at how audio innovation from the 1950s played a huge role in Sony creating DSD in the 1970s and how DSD continues to demand hardware and software innovation from the audio industry in 2024.

    While I appreciate the effort that goes into the podcasts I felt the discussion regarding DSD was quite poor, even the description of what DSD is and how it works was possibly one of the worst and most confusing I have heard. though I am sure they are good at what they do it did make me wonder about your guests knowledge.
