Its not the technical audio quality…its the quality of the artist. When you are recording Kascade then I would be interested.
Is it just great sounding music, or does it come with extended advise on what to hear and how to adjust your hifi set to get as close as possible?
The technical audio ability to capture the (quality of the …) artist in an enviroment they are performing in. The fun part is how well one’s gear is able to replicate the enviroment and the performance. The sampler looks like it will be fun and a nice addition to the audio sampler lexicon. Looking forward to having my copy!
Great idea but dosen’t the downloaded digital crap represent the epitome of compression and limited dynamic range? I have never heard any downloaded music that sounds good.
