Re: Abracadabra

I am updating the series and adding more tracks and more volumes, so I may do some simple artwork too. When I started I had no idea it would run to so many volumes so I didn't bother with any art.

I've been trying to explain this for years, and you have said it so succinctly. Nah, I was just rambling as usual! :lol: One other thing that people fail to consider is that as you get older and your hearing starts to diminish, your brain will try and fill in the blanks - the sounds you are missing...

Hearing test! (test your volume safety and comfort level on the page at 1000Hz) hxxps://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/ I can hear into the high 11,000's (in one ear!). Below that both ears work... I can just get to 17000 but it's very faint. But what most people think of as "treble" is...

Ha ha! Yeah, I ran out of time and didn't read everything you linked to. I found that on my phone while on the bus!

Re: The 2012 Vinyl Re-Issues Were From 44.1khz Source

It's a delicate issue. Hirez has become such a big thing that to even question it risks making you a pariah. But I've consistently found that most of the advocates of hirez don't actually have much understanding of it. They talk about "word lengths" and "resolution" but don't und...

Re: If Stuart Sutcliffe had lived...

It's hard to imagine Stu not becoming involved with Apple in some way. The more I think about it the more it seems like Stu's passing was a very big deal for John and had a profound effect on how things panned out. He could have been the head of Apple instead of Neal....now what kind of post Beatle...

Re: Extracting CDRs - Issues

It's funny, when I first bought a cd recorder (a big Philips job that cost a fortune) I was so excited about being able to make cds. The discs also cost an absolute fortune, but I was hypnotised by the whole cd mythos. When I think now of how much money I wasted on that recorder and blank cds, I cri...

Re: Question on Ripping Vinyl

Based on what we've learned lately, I would rip at 32 bit/48khz and then normalize the peaks to 0db afterwards and save as a 24 bit/48k file. If you just want to make a cd then capture in 44.1k... no point in resampling if you don't need to. If you capture in 32 bit it doesn't matter if the audio cl...
