Yes iCHORD your way of putting things is valid. We are NOT complaining his composition/programing etc. We are only discussing the loudness which at times is effecting some portions of the tracks and in this album it is very evident. Somebody had issues with my explanation of 5.1/7.1 systems I mentioned them only because if a CD is sounding bad first check your settings. If its booming check your woofer position, mostly that is the bad apple. If your settings are fine and the CD still sounds only 'satisfactory' then its the CD material. Not the composer, not the engineer, not even the studio master. It is in most cases the music company that replicates.
No one is complaining on the songs. They are super cool no doubt. Whatever, Blue theme does not sound as good say decoit duel from WOHE. That was quite a heavy compositon. Again good compositions/productions. Get the difference? Good discussion!! regards Remixes I Originals I Opinions at http://www.wiredbeats.com ________________________________ From: ichord <purev...@yahoo.com> To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, 12 September, 2009 6:25:00 PM Subject: [arr] Re: 'Blue' Sound/Audio Quality - "Dissapointed" There are sound issues in this album at times due to loudness, which I concede, but that does not make the overall sound quality mediocre. And being able to discern complex layering of music tracks clearly is very relevant to the discussion of sound. What may be bothering you is the highly processed electronic sounds in this album, esp, in the vocals, which I can understand. Trust me, I understand the difference between sound and music and a discussion of one is relevant to the discussion of another, because without good sound quality, I and many others would not be able to enjoy the distinct and complex musical layers that he has gifted in this crafty album. I also disagree with you that AR's contemporaries are way of ahead of him in terms of sound quality. I listen to various CDs of different composers, and I find AR's albums to be as competent in terms of sound quality as theirs. Mean no disrespect to your opinions and hope we can continue to discuss and maybe even disagree without being disagreeable. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, Arun KB Ganesh <ergu...@... > wrote: > > Surprising - A discussion about the sound quality of this album, turned into > a music review ???
