Trans-35 Mastering Process

The Trans-35 stereo recording technique was claimed to be the most advanced process in the recording arts; circa 1962. The original studio performances were recorded on 35-millimetre tape with all equalization and level corrections made at the recording session. From the original track 35-millimetre tape, a direct feed composite is mixed and fed direct to the mastering lathe. Hence the Trans-35 title. It was claimed that this single transfer minimizes the distortion and tape noise factor normally inherent in other methods of that period of transfer from the original tape to the lacquer master.
