There is a good reason why I ask- I hope I asked the right way.
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but for the most part Homer's reply is correct. I guess it depends on what you mean by "master" and "original".There is a good reason why I ask- I hope I asked the right way.
Yea and SACD releases have been generated from DVD-A masters, if not directly from the DVD-A disc themselves. Japan is well known for using consumer grade media as masters for remastered product.Thanks-
if all that remains of an artists multi-track is a DVD-audio recording and they want to put out on a bluray can a reasonable facsimile be made!
It would likely never come to this.Thanks-

Even in the event of a tragic fire, melting those hard drives into blobs of metal goop? You know the kind of fire I’m talking bout ....I think. The kind that could take a catalogue of Elton John 5.1 surround mixed masters right out. Leaving consumer media the final surviving masters. Yes it has happened before. Don’t shoot me I’m only the messenger.It would likely never come to this.
(Edit)
There would be no need to go back to a fully mastered commercial DVD-A release to produce a new format.
I think as time marches on, fires, floods, etc. we will find that the high resolution disc release of a given album will prove to be the best and last we will see on a given title.
Classic Records did a 24/192 DAD disc of Muddy Waters stunning sounding Folk Singer album. This was in my opinion the best sounding release of the album. The stereo master of this album is said to have perished in the Universal fire. So that 24/192 capture might be the best thing to cut vinyl from at this point if there ever want to do an LP reissue of it.
Sorry to report that I have good reason to believe the OP has passed away.
A while back he posted about Mary Fahl's forthcoming Darkside of the Moon bluray.
He was very passionate about ensuring its release.
That project is headed to market and I'll be posting more about it as I learn more.
I'm not sure whether this thread is related, other than the same OP.
No, Mary told me a while ago. Thanks for the link though.
Early inside report told me Chess tapes all gone. I agree, lots of things said based on many of the artists that simply ever recorded for Decca, MCA or Geffen, A&M, etc. claims that they burned or might have burned.Said to have perished as in that particular title was noted as having burned up. Or as in: the name Muddy Waters was attached to the story of the fire and someone is assuming that this means that the Folk Singer master was destroyed? Because a lot of disinformation about destroyed masters has followed in the wake of that revised story about the fire. I'm not saying a ton of stuff didn't go up in smoke (it did), but most of the names attached to that story were generated by connecting the labels owned by Universal at the time of the fire and artists on those labels...nothing more.
Like LuvMyQuad said, the DVDA surround master could be copied bit for bit identical to bluray format or FLAC for download.Thanks-

Hey Baggy, I spoke to Mary yesterday, she couldn't have been nicer, she said blu ray should be released in 3-4 weeks! Said it sounds awesome, that's all I needed to hear, will order as soon as available, and asked me how I knew of it? I replied QQ, of course! On an unrelated note, thanks for the heads up on Temple of the Dog 5.1, sounds great on my system.Sorry to report that I have good reason to believe the OP has passed away.
