DALI CD/LP VOL. 5

Recreating pride in music production

It's no secret that the sound quality of new releases isn't what it used to be. The loudness war, as it's been coined, has led to recordings becoming more compressed with less dynamic musical contrast. With the DALI album collection, we're turning back the clock.

The making of DALI CD Vol. 5

As with our previous releases, our approach for Volume 5 was simple: to create live recordings with nerve, presence and authenticity with little to no compression or auto-tune.

17 recording sessions at the Medley Studios

Featuring no less than 17 artists from as many different musical genres, each track was captured live over two days at the legendary Medley Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark. During each studio session, the artists were given control to influence the entire production, from mic to mixing desk.

With experienced sound engineer Jakob Groth and industry legend Bjørn Engelmann of the Cutting Room in Stockholm in charge of the mastering, the artists were granted the rare freedom to do their thing without the usual constraints associated with music production.

So, sit back and immerse yourself in an inspiring selection of talented artists spanning a broad range of musical genres, brought to life by unparalleled sound production.
