Re: OT That 'sizzle sound' of Mp3s
For the most part, vinyl mastering and production esthetics were more
mid-rangey and compared to modern production a little "honkey"
sounding. Compression and volume maximization aside, I prefer the
broader tonal spectrum of modern recordings. I love Hendrix, but most
of recordings still have that narrower range and less bass, giving the
recordings a dated sound. MP3's of the same recordings sound dated as
well. I understand the basics of high end interpolation and sampling,
but still, I just don't hear it.
So I have no problem with MP3's and regularly listen to orchestral as
well as dense, heavy material on two very different and high quality
systems. Utility is awesome and I just don't hear the difference
between "CD Quality MP3" and .wav files. I haven't had enough
experience with AIFF to compare to WAVE and MP3. Call me
insensitive. -m
