One comment, one question: This list certainly has a lot of traffic lately.
Does anyone on this list think that, for music created exclusively on computers, or even with external equipment (to the tune of synths, drum-machines), that pressing the tracks on vinyl preserves sound quality that cannot be achieved on compact disc? (dvd audio is another debate) To perhaps clairify: if music is CREATED in a digital environment, is there any reproduction quality to be gained by mastering it to an analog one? This dilemma wouldn't exist in traditional live music as the original sounds are produced in a natural (read: analog) environment.
Thanks, and apologies for cluttering things even further...
From: mee-thod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ryan, i think it was, mentioned the atmosphere of of recordings of jazz and blues. I had this notion that part of the reason I liked the sounds of analog tape and vinyl was coz they recorded EVERYTHING. The atmosphere included the inaudible range of frequencies that we still respond to. Certainly the old CDs would cut those frequencies out (space or something). Is this still the case with digital recordings? emma mee-thod -it's in the way that you groove it-
