The Way, Withering, and Alterations, all by a certain Jacob Martin…

While I was playing them, my brother asked me how long the song was. I said two minutes, and he asked me why all the songs sounded so similar. I had to explain that I was listening to a CD, and it was because they were all the same genre, by the same artist…

I guess I’ve taken the first step to joining the old fogey’s club with the rest of you. 😄

Kids don’t know what CDs are anymore?!

Time marches on. Don’t expect the younger generation to have all the knowledge of previous ones. I’m sure you’ll deny it, but when you were in your youth, you must have had similar gaps of knowledge.

He already created two socks, so I think his temp ban has been elevated to permanent ban.

Do you have proof those were him?

It’s a possibility. Would be nice if we had actual IP addresses.

One Last Note on Vinyl

A couple of weeks ago there was a discussion in the Albums forum about vinyl and CD. I forgot to mention a couple of things in more detail, such as the frequency response of vinyl versus CD. Most masters of records used various equalization techniques to alleviate the poor frequency response of vinyl. CD does not have these limitations of frequency response and other issues such as hiss, popping, crackle, and more. So, in general, well mastered tracks will sound better on CD than on vinyl. The problem is that most tracks are mastered worse on CD than vinyl. This is where the misconception starts. Through a game of telephone, the fact that tracks are worse mastered on CD gets bended to the misconception that vinyl is better at reproducing sound than CD. So, while you can say that you like the way that vinyl sounds better than CD and how you like the experience, you have a problem when you start to get into the objective terriorty when you start to say that vinyl is better than CD.

Rant over.
