Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Story here: Steve Jobs - Vinyl Fan Wonder if he had any Blue Notes and Prestiges? Neil Young's anti-digital stupidity shines through again. Dumb quote of the article right here: "Such a format, he said, would contain 100 per cent of the data of music as it is created in a studio, as opposed to five per cent in compressed formats including Apple's AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)". As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon". So Neil, only 5% of the actual analog input is recoverable from a digitally compressed file? Really? So instead of a 20-22,000 Hz analog playback, we only get 20-1,100 Hz playback? While I admire Neil for trying to get the music industry to get its stuff together and end the Loudness War, saying stupid stuff like this will not help. Digital is here to stay. Target things that will improve the digital files out there, like better mastering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 a good example of fine remastering is Chuck's reworking of Indian Summer by Eddie Johnson, the LP always sounded good but the CD sounds even better despite digital limitations.
