They capture this sound using dummy head recording.〔 For its recordings, Chesky Records uses acoustically vibrant spaces, including the Hirsch Center in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and St. Paul the Apostle Church located in Manhattan.〔 The company has a mastering studio in New York City, New York.〔 ==History== Studio musician and composer David Chesky founded Chesky Records with his brother Norman in 1988. They began the label to preserve the sound of live-in-the studio recordings, without overdubbing original records. In 1990, they switched from recording in studios to recording in churches.〔 One of the company’s first attempts at improving sound quality was the re-issue of classical pianist Earl Wild’s recordings of Rachmaninoff for Reader’s Digest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David Chesky: A Portrait of the Artist as His Own Man Page 2 )〕 In 1990, Chesky Records released its Jazz Sampler & Audiophile Test Compact Disc, with the first nine tracks devoted to music and the remaining twenty devoted to listening and technical tests for headphones and loud speakers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chesky Records Jazz Sampler & Audiophile Test Compact Disc, Vol. 1 )〕 Other test discs include Dr. Chesky’s Sensational, Fantastic, and Simply Amazing Binaural Sound Show and the Ultimate Demo Disc.〔 In 2007, David and Norman Chesky also started an audiophile music download website called HDtracks. HDtracks allows customers to download high-resolution versions of albums in numerous formats (FLAC, AIFF).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HDTracks )〕 The site contains many varied artists and labels. In 2012, Crosby, Stills, and Nash announced that they would be releasing HD versions of its first three albums through HDtracks, and the company also released remastered titles from the Blue Note label, including John Coltrane’s ''Blue Train'', Eric Dolphy’s ''Out To Lunch'', Herbie Hancock’s ''Maiden Voyage'', Wayne Shorter’s ''Speak No Evil'', Horace Silver’s ''Song for My Father'' and Larry Young’s ''Unity''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New (old) Blue Note on HDtracks )〕 Other notable artists include Carole King, Janis Joplin, Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan.

Choueiri to begin producing binaural recordings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David Chesky: "Dr. Chesky’s Sensational Fantastic and Simply Amazing Binaural Sound Show!" )〕 The purpose of the technology is to capture three-dimensional sound and imaging. Chesky Records uses its own custom recording equipment and experiments with different recording techniques and formats.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Matej Isak interview with David Chesky )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chesky Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
