  What format are you guys downloading? FLAC or WAV? First time purchasing HD tracks and not sure which format might be the best...

Both are lossless. So you can download in FLAC and convert to WAV and vice versa.

Is this the first time the pricing has been tiered base on which bit rate you choose?
 
I'm really enjoying this so far...

Nope, this is how HDtracks works. What I like about Chesky records is they're one of the very few that offers everything from 44khz/16bit to 192khz/24bit.

audionewbi where are you located?
I cannot buy anything from HD track due to geographical restriction, such a shame for those of us who are trying to do the right thing and support the artist but we cant as finding a legal copy to purchase is harder than finding an illegal version of the same song. 



You're not able to get this record via HDtracks, Audionewbi? You should be able to, as it depends on the label.

Great tracks, awesome sense of space and imaging, but the vocals sound more distant than I'm used to.

  Indeed, vocals are strangely recessed, but otherwise a very enjoyable recording.

 
Yeah, more on some tracks than others due to the single-mic-in-a-room live recording. Very sensitive to her position in relation to the other musicians and the mic.

May I know how to get this 25% off?


Buy the album from www.hdtracks.com in any format (if you want the most compatible, pick WAV) 44khz/16bit if you want the cheapest one. Upon checkout use the code HEADFIMACY and hit apply coupon. HDTracks will subtract 25% from total price.
