I have recently been involved in a string quartet recording. It has been
a challenging project. Everyone was delighted with the performance and
the sound on the production master which was sent to a CD plant in the
UK for 1:1 duplication.

Take a look: It's not pretty!

There are no scales on the plots, but the implication is fairly clear!

I presume you won't be paying the CD plant since they failed to supply what
you specified? I guess under UK law you'd have to return all the discs and
instruct them that they must be destroyed as their release would be a
breach of copyright, and potentially harmful to the authors/artists.

Or will they now do as specified by the paying client? If not, perhaps you
can 'name and shame' the plant so others will be warned off!

Slainte,

Jim
