The Music of The Lone Ranger

Technical Information ----------------------------------------------------- An open ambience was achieved in the newly recorded Republic versions of Lone Ranger music. AKG, Neumann, and Telefunken microphones were processed through a Trident Console and fed into a 24 multi-track 30 ips recorder. No noise reduction was applied in order to keep the signal path as pure as possible. The archival material on sides 3 and 4 varies in quality. Every effort has been made to reduce noise without damage to the music. Sound expert Chris Lembesis met the challenge with an array of stylii, skills, patience and experience. The stylus used was the GE VRI 3.0 mil Mono. Discs were transferred wet at 15 ips to a Technics RS-1500 US analog open reel deck.
