I've noticed that the digitized recordings now being played are not exact reproductions of the original recordings on long play vinyl discs. Subtle efforts of the original producers are gone, and in some situations, background parts are so subdued, you really have to listen for them. I don't like it, but it is what it is.
It's been compressed to fit a smaller digital footprint, and lost the analog content that was "warmer" and more real. People don't care anymore, though, because they listen to it on phone speakers.
ReplyDeleteIt sure ruins some good music.
DeleteAnything by Queen suffers from this effect as does Tubular Bells
