I’ve played the Mercury Living Presence sampler “You are There” on all incarnations of my setup for many years. With each improvement of my rig it’s sounded better. Until now, finally it’s sounding the way it really should. It’s a great confirmation that I’m doing things right after many years of experimenting, with advice from this forum.

@mrdecibel , Why, thank you very much. The same to you! |
Thanks for this pointer - I will explore! Seems to me from the dates that this would have been an all analog recording, released just after the launch of CDs. What I am most interested in finding out is how digital PCM multi-track recordings have been re-mixed digitally, especially for rock music. Each PCM sample is a whole number, and mixing involves taking a fraction of one sample and adding the result to fractions of other samples. In general, there will be rounding errors, whether the whole number is thought of as binary or decimal. The more tracks, the more the rounding errors, I would have thought

@richardbrand A giant, stripped-naked human pyramid in a big, sensual dancing scene between two lovebirds from a biblical story doesn’t quite click. It might be a modern interpretation of a legendary opera - interesting. I do like the music, though, and all the opera singing by Elīna Garanča in the other acts (Romantique, DG).
One-way by ferry is more than a 10-hour trip. How do you manage the commuting part? Is there a flight option?

Solid information and observations. To my ears, in particular too many 70s and 80s recordings and their mastering were done by assassins wielding gaggles of microphones and mixing boards with scores of tracks. So many musicians caged in lifeless cubicles with artificial hall reverb clumsily infused post production. I’ve recordings that sound like they were pieced together with glue and a Ouija board. Non cohesive jumble, compressed with diffuse sound stage. Listen to the incomparable Patrick Williams’ Threshold. The whole thing is acoustically impaled by uneven reverb, overdubs and clutter. Some have figured it out… again. This new series with Jan Willem de Vriend, amazing on all levels.
