Vinyls just sound SO much better.  They have alot more "kick".  Partly this is due to the CD having a sampling rate of 44.1 K per second, while records have no such limitations, but if they were to be measured for samples per second I believe it would come out to 150 K/s more or less.  Records have so much more detail in the sound, little nuances and more dynamic range.  For the greatest example of record's superiority in detail, listen to an orchestral recording.  On a record you can hear trumpets, trombones, baritones, tubas, all distinctly.  On a CD all you can hear is brass, and you can tell the difference between a trumpet and a tuba, but a trumpet and a trombone?  Could be tricky.  Take a rock song and listen to the CD version, then listen to the record version and the increase in punch and how much it immerses you will be evident.  The CD version may sound "good", but the record version will sound exciting and almost like being at a live show.

They still make vinyl albums.  I always buy all my music on vinyl.  It sounds much better than CD's.  Sure they crackle and hiss a little, but underneath that the music is so much more powerful sounding, it almost feels like being at a concert.

The lasers in his profile picture take new meaning from the thread title.

Oh, I was under the impression you planned on distributing it normally as video files.  If not then I apologize.

When you're finished would you be so kind as to let me use this as a source for my ROTJ edit?

Yeah but it has far less sodium and cholesterol than that, so I'll go with the first.  

^That's delicious.

No idea about that, but a suggestion for an easy fix you could make, and one that I made to my own personal version of ESB that I watch is use dynamic brightness adjustment when luke is underneath the walker (and the shot of the tow cable hitting the bottom) and make it darker under there since no light should really be hitting it, at least not to that extent.  Then when Luke ignites his lightsaber boost the contrast so that the core of the saber is white but the rest of the shot is still dark and looks kind of "glowey".  

I regret that I've used this meme twice so far already, because really it's much more appropriate here than the other two times.  After this I shall retire it for a while, because it will never be more appropriate again.

This is a really cool project, and I hope you won't be discouraged by everyone here's constant criticisms just for the sake of criticizing.   That's why I don't post updates about my ROTJ edit anymore, there's no point.  I'm going about it slowly anyway.  I'm just gonna release it out of nowhere one of these days without warning since any update I would post would merely be mocked until it's real meaning was buried.  And I'm not really even complaining, that's just the way things go around here anymore, and I just urge you not to be discouraged by it.

Albert King? I don't get it.

 He's one of the first (and best) electric blues guitar players, and a recording of him is heard playing during the scene where Kirk is at the bar drinking in Into Darkness.

Music is an emotional thing, the biggest difference between Rock and Rock'n'Roll is that they feel different.  I know this explanation will not satisfy galacticsemen, but for any sensible human being you can feel the difference between them.  Technically writing it may be difficult, but if you're in the mood for some Led Zeppelin or some Rush, listening to Chuck isn't going to satisfy you're craving.  Sure rock is made of the same elements, but the attitude, the dynamic, the emotion, and the amount of aggression is all different.  Something that can be much more easily felt than described.

Ah, but see the flaw with that explanation is that Jimi Hendrix is black and most definitely Rock and NOT Rock 'n' Roll.  I suggest you add an exception for him lol.  I think the two comparisons I posted are pretty obvious in their differences.

Yeah, I wish I could convince myself he's not worth replying to and saving my time and patience.

If this isn't a good enough explanation for you then you are simply a moron, or at least completely ignorant of music and have no grounds to say ANYTHING about music categorization.  Like Frink said, just because the explanation doesn't satisfy you doesn't make it a valid explanation.

Another useless subjective explanation.

 Another useless attempt to sound smarter than everybody else.  You know what country sounds like, and you don't need a definition of it to know what it sounds like.  You can not possibly make anybody believe you don't know what country sounds like.  Now take the elements of that that you hear in 50's rock and roll.  Remove them and add more blues.  You can call this subjective all you want,  but anybody with half decent hearing will be able to tell a difference, and saying it isn't good enough is nothing more than being conceited.  You know what I mean, you know the difference, and trying to pretend like you can't tell a difference without it being explained is pathetic.

Rock 'n' Roll still has plenty of country.  Also a lot more presence of blues song structure.  Rock still has strong blues influence, but with a more streamlined song structure. But there is still country to be heard in rock 'n' roll. Distinguish-ably more than Rock anyway, enough that Imperialscum, who I suspect is just being facetious in an effort to make himself appear smarter than everybody else as usual, to tell a difference like the rest of the world can.

still I think the big part of the problem is that Star Trek is competing with it's self so i think if they removed old Trek from home video and TV that would help a lot and make anew Trek film coming out more of an event that everyone would have to be there for.

 You say some really absurd things sometimes, but I guess we all do.

I think classic rock is any album that came out in the 60s or 70s.

I wonder why '50s rock isn't considered classic rock. 

Because "rock" and "Rock n' Roll" aren't the same thing.

And what is the difference? Please explain technically, as I won't take an explanation along the lines of "Chuck Berry is rock n' roll, Rolling Stones are rock".

 Rock and Roll has much more elements of country than Rock.

Into Darkness would have been good WITHOUT an Albert King appearance, but with?  Just topped it all off.

Oh and I think that's the same episode where Picard beats up Leeta from Babylon 5.  Was he just being a bullying to anyone who dared to star in another Sci-Fi series that week.

I don't like Ted Nugent personally either, I only mentioned him for the reasons that are relevant to this thread.  He's definitely an asshole though.

Classic Ted Nugent is criminally underrated, whether you agree with his political stance or not.  I personally agree with some, but not all.  But musically, he's fantastic.  Or at least he was fantastic.  Now it seems like about every other album he makes is fantastic, with the ones in between being kinda stupid.  He's still killer live though.

Lots of people used to do hallucinogens.  In fact, you're looking at one.  Oh shit, you can't see me, guess I'm crazy after all.
