"Chinese Democracy" to be printed?
March 16, 2007, last updated 02:05 GMT+1


Written by Jan for GnRsource.com.

A source I have reasons to trusts, who works at a cd production plant, told me he got a short glimpse of a manager's schedule at work the other day. On the schedule he saw "Guns 'n Roses" (sic) written. He only got a short glimpse of it, and he doesn't know the date, but he did say he believes it should happen quite shortly since his manager has it on his list.

He can't confirm that it was actually "Chinese Democracy" that was on the list. It may be something unofficial, or more likely a single. He did say that the number code on the list seemed to indicate that, but like I said, he only got a short glimpse.

I'm sceptical about posting this, but I do it regardless. I have no reason to distrust the information, but it may turn out to be false. But at the same time, the album is in mixing currently, and it makes sense that they've booked some sort of CD production, that can probably be pushed back a little.

If you want to post this on other boards, feel free to. Just NO bashing. The only thing bashing does is to shut up those who speaks (and I know for certain that happened in the past).

First of all, if this is true it may be major news.
Second, what is this about numbers?

[-Jack-]

Well, I guess it's bound to happen sometime. Especially if you really believe the band has finished recording and is almost done mixing.

I wouldn't be surprised.. not that I really believe this rumor... =/.

[meanmachine73]

Its not like you are a one post wonder. We will take it at face value, something good but nothing to get too excited about.

It may be major news. I would not have posted it if I didn't believe in it, because since they're in mixing, it's likely they've thought about the printing of CDs. I understand what he said about numbers as codes they use to define what is what. From what I know, something like that should be fairly standard procedure. Hope that helped, but take this for what it is...

Is that so? From what I read here (I myself have no clue of this) mastering would be the next step, even if mixing was done. And it sounds like mastering could take extreme long OR short time, since it is not just technical, but als a question of art and inspiration.

So would it really make sense to book a industry facility at this point? I have no idea.

[EFISH]

Mastering only takes a day. So on Guns N' Roses time, I would say 3 days tops. 

If what your friend saw was the single or the album on that list, then that is great news!

GN'R is the king of not making sense, but since we don't know the exact time line for the post production this could actually be an exception.

I'm sure there's someone who knows more about this, but from what I've seen and heard mastering doesn't really take long time. 1-4 days, I guess. It should be a fairly short process. Booking cd printing in a some weeks time COULD be it. But like I wrote, this could be something else too... a single or some dumb unofficial release.

From Wikipedia:
Mastering (Post-Production) is the art of optimizing sound frequencies in order to meet industry standards; and in addition, to transfer the recorded audio as a cohesive program to a data storage device that will be used in the production of copies (via methods such as pressing, duplication or replication).

isnt mastering jsut making a master copy of the mixed tracks? to use for mass production? the way i understand is that mastering is the beginnign of production....of course i may sound totally stupid with this post Pilferk prolly knows (as others do as well i'm sure)

[Schwarzgold]

Okay, from what ALL of you are saying it seems that I confused mixing and mastering.    I just remembered one step CAN take long, dunno why I thought that it would be mastering. 

[jazjme]

just a clarification so there is no misunderstanding....

thanks dude!

[creepingvines]

this is pretty damn exciting if true!  judging by that link's description of the mastering process, it sounds like a single could theoretically be released before mastering is completed for the entire album?

Who (just out of curiousity) are the 3 print groups???
