Modern Remastering Without Haeco-CSG
Haeco-CSG can be applied during the mastering stage, near the end of the production chain for LP records. In such cases, the earliest analog master tapes for these recordings still exist without Haeco-CSG processing. Therefore, when these recordings employing the Haeco-CSG process are properly remastered for compact disc the effects of the process can and should be removed. Remastering without the effect usually requires the work of a well informed audio engineer who takes the extra time necessary to locate the correct master tape copies.
However the Haeco-CSG processing was often applied at the master tape mix session. This, in effect, makes it a permanent part of the stereo recording. However, the process can still be reversed through modern digital reprocessing. Unfortunately, many compact discs of these processed albums still are encoded with the system, causing the center channel blurring effect even on modern digital playback systems.

“A modern democracy is a tyranny whose borders are undefined; one discovers how far one can go only by traveling in a straight line until one is stopped.”
