Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

Low Level.Listening to digital I hear every insrument beautiful rendered, often betters analog. There is enough of everything, but still somehow it is presented as it is recorded in space. Where on analog the music is more like craftet.

Remember helping out on a recording of a three piece trio with one singer.  Very simple music, absolute dark background done in a studio environment.  The result was not good. The quiet was unnatural and the brain just does not like that. It was fixed by adding in some environmental noise.   Ever noticed how hearing chairs move in an orchestral recording isn't distracting and adds a more real quality?

There are lots of tools now for adding pleasant (to most) euphonic colorations. It's an interesting area.   For me personally i prefer the dark background on orchestral music, likely because their is so much going on and digital allows me to pick out all the nuance including that chair moving.  Rock and Pop I often prefer vinyl but modern releases are changing that.

“Lying”

Nice! Way to go. I have no idea what exactly your experience has been, or what genre(s) you have worked with. I could also point out and expound on the fact that recording engineers and musicians are often at odds as to what sounds closer to real (one reason so many recordings sound subpar), but that would surely not lead to anything positive here. Obviously, we have had very different experiences. It is also obvious that it is not possible to have a discussion with you. Perhaps our paths will cross some day? I tend to doubt it.

They don't argue about what is real, they argue because many (most?) artists have a much different impression of how they sound versus how they actually do.  Digital captures every wart in their playing or singing. It does not add anything nor take anything away.  It is totally unforgiving.  Lots of artists don't like to know they are not as good as they think they are :-)


Amateur musician, not awful :-). I know it is very hard to hear accurately yourself while playing. Singing impossible. Your position in relationship to your instrument makes for a quite different sound compared to what is recorded in front of you. There are quite different masking effects due to body placement, direction of the instrument, etc.


You are not discussing with me. You are trying to tell me things that are not true are.

sometimes I think that what sounds more real may be in the opinion of the beholder....

"You are lying" 




Digital is absolutely superior....

Microphone are perfect to record all details...

Timbre is only an illusion...A color... A taste...

Accurate for the ears has no meaning save illusory....Accurate in bits is the truth...Or in electro units...

I feel stupid discussing with you....😊 Sorry....



There is a good thing tough for me, i know i have the tendency to be arrogant sometimes....I am not perfect at all.... But with you i feel that you beat me.... This is the good news.... The bad news is that it did not change my character....
😊


By the way these elusive microdynanics is always part of the interaction of the musician with his instrument, it is a variation in time of the sound hues, a concept in acoustic...But no for some it is in invented word....

Microdynamics is in the flowing sounding timbre playing and very audible even if it is subtle , but this is erased in any bad embedded audio system being it analog or digital...
