The post Pure DSD Recordings – Vol. 1 [Pure DSD] appeared first on NativeDSD Music.

One Microphone Recordings, Vol. 1 is the latest in our NativeDSD Presents series.  Highlighting the rich catalog available at Native DSD Music.

It was created from our catalogue of One Microphone Recordings. Including several of the recordings demonstrated during the AXPONA 2024 Audio Show. Our music was presented at AXPONA in collaboration with Linkwitz Audio. Read the full report from Linkwitz CEO Frank Brenner.

We hope that this album inspires you to explore each individual album. The featured albums were recorded using a One Microphone Recording technique that some listeners prefer to the usual multiple microphone recording technique used on most of today’s albums.

The albums on this compilation were recorded in different formats and bit rates. To find the original recording format and bit rates please visit the individual albums by clicking the Catalogue Number in the track name below, or looking in the ‘You May Also Like’ section.

It also means that TRPTK has been in existence for nine years. Starting with three rebellious youngsters and a dream, growing into an extended family of seven crew members and 197 artists. Those 203 people have collectively recorded 97 albums, EPs and singles, and shared their music with hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. (for those doing the math: we didn’t miscount, one of our staff members is also an artist on the label)

You having this album in your hands, about ready to play it in your hi-fi system. It also means that you, our dear listener, have been with us for a part or all of these years. Words cannot describe my gratitude for your support, your generosity, and your endless thirst for new and exciting music. Without this — without you — none of this would be possible.

What it doesn’t mean is that we’re leaving it here, at just nine years. If it’s up to us, there will be a ten-year anniversary, a 25-year anniversary, … Heck, we’ll go on as long as we can, as far as the music takes us. Many more great projects await, many more releases we’re so excited to share with you in the future.

But for now, thank you so much for being here, for unwrapping this album, our nine-year anniversary sampler, and hopefully enjoying the content on it as much as we’ve enjoyed recording, mixing and mastering it.” – Brendon Heinst, TRPTK

Each selection has different artists and different recording locations.  One thing remains constant. Giulio Cesare Ricci and his analog and tube Recording System. Ricci says “When you listen to it, you will hear a homogeneous, natural, dynamic and realistic sound in all the songs even if recorded in different years and this particularity makes this album unique. Thanks for being part of my dream.” 

Tasting sounds is like enjoying life, one thing is in the other. Beyond certain limits it becomes a sublime art. Capturing the colors of a Stradivari, Fulvio enhances harmony of a crustacean’s soufflé.
