Adam Kaspar produced KA. Also Riot Act. So there you go.
Yeah, and avocado....his work there was so terrible they never had him again.

I'm fairly certain Kaspar isn't to blame for S/T. None of the other records he's worked on sound that bad and those leaked unmastered tracks sound great. It's just a brutal mastering job.

I hope they remaster the whole thing in a few years. I remember Jeff saying he was really let down when he heard the final mix.

do you remember where you saw that?
It was an interview around the time Avocado was put out...he said he was really impressed with his work with Matt but the unmastered tracks were way better than the final mix.

I checked the CD, there's no mastering credit.
I don't recall anyone in the band commenting about the production of S/T - or any of their records for that matter, sound quality doesn't seem to be a topic that engages them to any great degree.

Jeff did.
And, again, he is pretty vocal about Ten too.

Man, you're right - Jeff's talked about Ten's production a lot over the years, that slipped my mind entirely.

From the Hoffman forums. BS perhaps, but...

Someone who gets an ear of one of the members of the band one day will need to try and plant the seed of an idea that grows (sorry, just watched Inception on the week-end) and results in deluxe 4LP 45rpm reissues cut all analogue.
Good luck with that. A friend of mine had a discussion with Vedder about the sound quality of their releases, and he couldn't have been more out of his element. He wasn't even sure what compression means.
You would be surprised how many musicians are completely clueless when it comes to that stuff.

I remember that. He said he was disappointed with the low end.
