Eddie Kramer mixes Jimi Hendrix, records Santana with Mytek Converters. Eddie
Kramer is the legend of rock and roll engineering and production
work. His work with Jimi Hendrix,
In the summer of 2001 we received a phone call from Eddie Kramer himself. Eddie was preparing for a recording session to remix some of original Jimi Hendrix tapes at NRG Studios in Los Angeles. He was mixing the soundtrack for soon to be released DVD documentary "Jimi Plays Berkeley". He heard of Mytek 8X96 Converters and wanted to try them for the highest possible quality 5.1 mix. The mixdown machine was going to be the Tascam MX2424. Eventually we provided two sets of 8 channel converters and the mix was printed at both 96 and 48k onto two separate machines. After the session Eddie told us he absolutely loves
the transparent sound of Mytek 8X96 Converters and that he was very
happy with the way mix sounded. Soon after Eddie called us again, this time he was working on another movie, "Monterey Pop" for Criterion. Mytek 8X96 converters and MX2424 were again used for 5.1 soundtrack mixdown. Then came recordings of Indigenous - American Indian band live concert and later the upcoming album of Carlos Santana recorded in the Fall of 2001 at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. At that session Mytek 8X96 Converters were used as the front end for Protools system. The next project is another rock era documentary - "The Festival Express" assembled from many hours of never released footage of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and other performances. Eddie values Mytek 8X96 for their transparent sound and accuracy, he refers to them as "beautiful sounding, transparent converters". We feel priviledged Eddie chose Mytek for work on some of the most significant recordings of the rock era.
