I wonder how Scott would feel if someone who had as little knowlege of
cosmetology as he has of audio would try to tell him how to do his job.
After all, cosmetology is all just about aesthetics, right? Anybody with
a good eye for aesthetics should be able to do his job better than
Scott does, right?

Happens all the time here in low budget TV. Every woman does her own
makeup - so why is it different just because a camera is involved? The
same happens with other skills - after all most now shoot holiday movies.
And when those skills are dispensed with to be replaced by amateurs it
doesn't half show.

It doesn't? I think quite the opposite is true. Audiences are getting
more and more sophisticated. Maybe with the sort of production you are
talking about the expectations just aren't very high.


But only possibly to those with the skills to notice
the difference. As is apparently the case with those who find vinyl more
'realistic' than CD. They just don't know what they're listening to.

Now that is an interesting claim. Arny just went on about how I might
feel about non-pros telling me how to do my job etc. But here you are
claiming that the real top flight pros don't know what they are
listening to. Can anyone else see the irony? Arny went after James Boyk
infering that he has an anti digital agenda. But the fact is he is an
actual pro and has a fantastic ear. I can assure you he knows far
better than you what he is listening to yet he finds the vinyl more
faithful to the original than the CD of his recording made for the
purpose of comparison. He listens to live music on a daily basis. He
teaches other musicians how to listen to sound! He has access to the
the original master and had access to the original mic feed of his
recordings. So, unlike you, he had an actual reference to make his
claims. And it isn't just him. You will find a number of *top industry
pros* that have the same preference for vinyl. So maybe it is you who
doesn't know what he is listening to.
