Talk:Brothers in Arms (album)

message: Is it true that the reason this album seems 'quiet' when you play it today, that the disc was normalized at 80% rather than the more typical 95+% used now-a-days? This would fit with the 'one of the first albums released on CD' idea, since if CD was a fairly new format, they'd have still been experimenting? Anybody know?
:It has more to do with compression than it does normalization. The production on Brothers im Arms has great dynamic range. Most modern albums are compressed to the point of clipping.

message: On the National Reso-Phonic site, the guitar on the cover is listed as "National Style O", not Style 0. But which one is correct? They also list Style 1, 2, 3 and 4. 85.76.253.210 (talk) 17:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: It is stated that the master recording is digital.  Does anyone know the details of the master?  For example, what was the sample rate and bit depth?
: It might be a surprise for a lot of hi-res lovers (including me), but it's a Sony 16-bit 44.1 kHz DASH format. Details here. Figure19 (talk) 16:03, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

message: lyrically focused on guerrilla, male comradery and militarism.
I think some words are missing from that bit. and surely a better word would be 'comradeship'? --LeedsKing (talk) 18:38, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Why does the infobox (?) say Roots rock and new wave? This seems incorrect to me. Can I edit it?

replies: text: It's absolute nonsense. Dire Straits were not part of new wave and the AllMusic source doesn't say it's new wave. It mentions pop, however, several times. I keep correcting it. Rodericksilly (talk) 15:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Walk of Life" ... The song was nearly left off the album, but was included after the band out-voted producer Neil Dorfsman.
Do you have same proof for that?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.128.159.173 (talk) 20:02, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Walk of Life 

message: Neil Dorfsman says the digital multitrack was mixed on an analog board with the resulting two track mix re-digitized via a Prism A/D converter and recorded on a DAT machine, so really the recording was DAD
DAD ist wrong, it's DDD actually. The first letter is for the rape recorder used during recording/racking, the second letter denotes the tape recorder during mixing/editing. That's why DAD is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.128.159.173 (talk) 20:10, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Digital Recording 

message: This article quotes an article from 2006 where Neil Dorfsman says Omar Hakim re-recorded all the drumming on the album. But in another interview from 1999 Dorfsman says Hakim re-recorded three quarters of the drums on the album. I don't know which Dorfman interview we should trust, or maybe both versions should be mentioned. Floyd (talk) 20:06, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This interview says Hakim re-recorded everything except the intro to "Money for Nothing". Dorfsman also says that Neil Jason played the bass on "One World" and Tony Levin might have played on "Why Worry". Yippie, now we've got even more contradiction!

text: Also, the source for Jack Sonni playing guitar synth on "The Man's Too Strong" has nothing supporting that. It may still be true but the aricle does not mention it. Can anybody find a better source? Jules TH 16 (talk) 20:19, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
