Analogue vs Digital
"Dave W." reported...
Eagles Greatest Hits Volume 2:
"The music on the compact disc was originally recorded on analog
equipment.
We have attempted to preserve, as closely as possible, the sound of the
original recording. Because of its high resolution, however, the Compact
Disc can reveal limitations of the source file."
Wow. To see it like that. Plainly stated by industry professionals. No
troll
intended.
I look forward to the analogue Vs digital reviews from those who have access
to both versions . . .
Also - is it a straight transfer, or a remaster/remix?
I'm afraid I've normally found any remastring to have been disappointing,
but that might be because I'm used to the original mix by the time the new
version appears. (Prime example - Judas Priest's "Sad Wings of Desiny" was
reissued a couple of years after it first appeared - and it sounded totally
different on LP from the original LP release on the same equipment, I know
because my mate had his original copy knicked, and was so upset at the
replacement he asked me to bring mine over to compare the two . . .)
I do have to admit to finding the 'gold CD' reworking of some of the Zappa
catalogue worthwhile, though . . .
