Case Study: Rough Trade remasters The Libertines’ anniversary album with AudioShake

Remastering The Libertines 20th anniversary album

The customer, Rough Trade Records, an independent London-based record label, faced a challenge when preparing the 20th-anniversary remaster of The Libertines' iconic album "Up The Bracket." They were unable to access the original project stems, a common problem with older material, which was preventing them from creating a new mix that did the historic album justice. They turned to the vendor, AudioShake, and its AI stem separation technology to overcome this obstacle.

AudioShake's solution provided Rough Trade's engineering team with clean, standardized stem files generated from the master tracks. This gave them the level of control needed to produce a high-quality remaster. The AudioShake technology was described as a crucial element that made the entire project possible, allowing the label to properly celebrate the album's milestone anniversary with a new mix that met their standards.
