Bushwacka  remix? He two (or three?) Sueno Latino remixes last year. From
your description, I'd say it's not the 'Tek' remixbut I haven't heard
the other(s).



 Also, I did hear a track that Jeff Mills played over here a few weeks ago
 that sounded vaguely like another remix of the Sueno Latino riff, this
time
 it was very electronic sounding ala Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms
and
 had a major breakdown and buildup in the middle section (which had a long
 ambient section) Anyone have any idea what this could be?

really like the diversity, every track is memorable and you can play it

Marco Passarani (Saga Pt 2) and most of all Alan's own Warhol Vs Basquiat

attractive and it's a strong package over all.

when this is mixed down professionally and PRESSED (NOT BURNED, DIGITALLY)
to vinyl, that sound is kept, because of it's format. speakers are analog,
and they must put out analog sound. therefor, when your CD plays, the data
is converted by the speaker so it can play. when you burn higher quality

 I think alot of the quality of the audio goes out the window after
digital
 quantizantion.

 Something I don't understand here - so much music is made with samplers
and
 other digital devices, so presumably the sound coming out is quantised to
 16-bit/44.1KHz by definition anyway - how can writing that quantised sound
 onto vinyl suddenly give it a better dynamic range / quality ?

 I suspect there's a bit of retro-fetishism going on here (not that there's
 anything wrong with that - just that vinyl rules for reasons other than
 sound quality).

 Debates r.e. the quality of mp3 files are mainly irrelevant at present
since
 the primary point of mp3 files is swapping, i.e. you take what you can get
 in terms of bitrate. Sure, higher bitrates sound better, but most extant
 files are lower bitrate. Since it's a lossy compression system there will
 always be a difference, and the louder the P.A. the more audible that
 difference will be. Personally I'm not ready to make the switch yet,

 I do play with WAVs off a puter.

don't argue?

--- Joel Reitzloff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 AT
 LEAST, and DONT ARGUE 24bit sound, sometimes even at 48000 or higher
 khz.

First, CD Quality is 16 bit, 44.1khz.  48khz is NOT enough of a
difference that you would be able to hear it (I'd give you the math
proof, but it's a bit geeky and only the people that already know it
would understand it anyway.. has to do with the relationship of the
sampling frequncy to the frequencies percieved, and the shrinking
perceptable detail range of higher frequencies)... As a matter of fact,
44.1khz is about twice what the average person is able to percieve,
which is good enough to eliminate all perceptable aliasing
anamolies... in other words, it's already well out of audible range,
and the only reason it goes that high is to provide good detail and low
noise in high frequencies that vinyl cannot even produce.  If you tried
to cut a vinyl with the amount of high frequency energy that a CD can
reproduce, nobody could track it anyway.. you'd just have the record
burn sound on a brand-new record.

As far as perceptable audio quality goes, the dynamic range (the amount
of audio content that can be percieved as far as amplitude is
concerned) has far more to do with perceptable quality in the small
differences we're talking about here.  Every time you add a bit do the
bit-depth, you DOUBLE the dynamic range available, which leaves much
more room for detail across all frequencies.  Going from 16 bit to 24
bit may not sound like a big deal, but it's a lot more than you think..
to put it in perspective, if you had a detail scale that was linear the
difference between 16 bit and 24 bit would be more like the difference
between 16  and 4096 on the scale as far as the raw amount of
information that can be reproduced.  On the other hand, like the
sampling frequencies, you probably COULD NOT hear the difference very
well unless the detail level was doubled, so it makes more sense to
relate it in smaller numbers.  I know that I personally can tell a huge
difference between 16 and 20 bit sounds (at high volumes and low signal
levels), but I cannot hear much difference between 20 and 24 bit -
until I've done mix-downs... it's important to mix and run any effects
convolutions at higher bit-depth because every time you mix two
signals, you lose HALF of the detail range.  That adds up quickly.

As for your don't argue comment - a LOT of producers are still using
samplers from several years ago that sampled and played back at 16
bit.. and MANY of us are still using gear from the early 80's (even
digital gear like my yamaha DX7 that's nowhere near 24 bit).  The old
analog gear never hits the digital domain until it goes through our A/D
converters and into our digital mixing environments - at this point,
it's usually at least 20 bit, and likely 24-32 bit conversion, and it
doesn't drop down to 16 bit again until the CD master is burned... at
which point, it's DITHERED to 16 bits, which is a process that
preserves more of the sound's detail than would be preserved if we just
smashed it into 16 bits and cut off the rest of the detail.

This detail loss I'm talking about is mostly perceptable in
high-frequency clarity (the types of frequencies that vinyl has never
been able to produce), and dynamic range.. I am fairly certain that the
dynamic range is more important to the fuller, warmer sound of analog
gear than anything else.. there's no question that I can tell a huge
difference between hearing an orchestra live and hearing an orchestra
on CD.  It sounds very flat on CD.. the sounds trail and fizzle and die
prematurely.. it looses a smootheness and cohesion that you would have
live.  I think that vinyl does a better job of preserving this effect,
but I can't tell you specifically how or why except maybe that digital
is more discreete - no matter what those bits are, they never effect
each other, whereas, on a vinyl cutting, the amplitude level of the
audio a few miliseconds ago is still having an effect on the current
level.. it causes a softening, or blurring effect, much like the effect
you would see if a photographer intentionally blurred a photograph a
little to make it softer and smoother.  You can hear this effect
yourself by listening to the difference between analog and digital
clipping... Digital clipping sounds very harsh, similar to static on a
television, only much more intense and solid.. there's NO smoothing
going on.  When you overdrive an analog input, clipping still occurs,
but the signal levels from one moment to the next (we're talking
miliseconds here) have more effect on each other, causing a warmer,
smoother, and softer sound that's actually desireable in many
circumstances.  It sounds more organic and natural.

 when this is mixed down professionally and PRESSED (NOT BURNED,
 DIGITALLY)
 to vinyl, that sound is kept, because of it's format.

Not exactly.  Vinyl cannot reproduce high

this would most likely, in effect, damp the resonances.  in other words, 
making sure the table is very heavy would most likely damp a lot of the 
vibrations (although the bricks most likely would transmit a lot of it).


i say isolate the table as well as possible.  while a trick like that might 
be cool nothing is worse than having a needle jump.

I can make a nice drawing of this but it's actually true
I've tried certain setups where it came clear to me that
resonace injected from the speakers react different to the needle through
wood, metal  or bricks.
just make shure that the table you place you're 1200's on is heavy with

uhh, no.  no, no, and no.

the 24-bit sound is NOT kept when pressed to vinyl, because the quality of 
sound is only as good as the weakest link, and that would be the quality of 
the vinyl press itself.


the speakers don't do any conversions.  the D/A converter in your 
electronics will do that (most D/A converters are in the cd player's 
circuits itself; if it has an analog output (RCA, XLR, 1/4, whatever) then 
you know the conversion already happened.


digital reproduction is 'nearly' perfect.  the level of distortion produced 
by quantization and filtering is so small it's not even funny.  worry more 
about speaker distortions.


what this has to do with 313 i don't know, but it had to be said.  :)
