CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

CD has great potential. They never figured out how to deal with the scattered light problem. That’s all. They probably didn’t even know there was a problem.

Well, from what I have recently read in certain industry insider white papers that I am legally bound not disclose the authors, there are now both left handed and right handed scattered light shifters that have pretty much tackled this thorny issue.

Just not the uh, audio industry, Mr. Smarty Pants.

 Daft Punk’s "Random Access Memories" was recorded to tape using almost entirely 70s studio gear. That was why the album cost the million dollars it did as these guys were buying up and rebuilding 70s gear to allow them to make an analogue recording. There is very little EQ used in the mix, no plug-ins...it is a wonderful recording. Check this article out to read the great lengths they went to to create an authentic 70s sounding recording: https://www.soundonsound.com/people/recording-random-access-memories-daft-punk...and it is a fabulous album. Check out the last track ’Contact’ for an epic 21st century prog sounding finale. Or ’Touch’ for a masterpiece of light and shade: a choral wonder. Or ’Georgio by Moroder’ for some of the best drumming you will ever hear as it reaches its climax. 

Well, they're definitely show up some progress if it was recorded in analog (you're right), but i remember the band from their 1st album and never liked it. I still don't like their music, but respect the old musicians they are invited.

Anyway it's about personal taste, sorry.

The original records from the 70s are much more interesting, i don't listen to pop music.     

@audioman58, were you trying to make a point in your post? If so, it was lost in the gibberish and half-wit suggestive innuendo. By the way, saying that vinyl is 12-bit is insane. You do know that it’s analog don’t you?
