I know there are many about this kind of thing but after my findings i just had to share my shock with someone.
Ok so this evening i was a bit bored and decided to run some of my cds through my wave editor and i just couldn't believe what i found.
Nearly every cd i own after 2000 is indeed bricked and pushing consistently over the limit.
Ok not surprising i hear you say but we are not talking small,we are talking some big names here,some huge who to be honest i never thought would be a casualty of this.
Some names include.....
Shania twain
Judus priest
Megadeth
Cky
Aerosmith
Sonic youth
Status quo
Whitesnake
Rem
Queen
Madness
Mick jagger
The rolling stones
And shockingly my favourite singer David bowie! (the heathen album is horrifyingly brickwalled)
The alarming thing is is a good chunk of the names on here should really know better,i mean there are some top people working on some of these so surely the problem must lie with these so called mastering engineers,surely the artist didn't want the finished product like this.
Not all was bad news though,names like.....
Sting
Electric light orchestra
Diana krall
Girlschool
Pink floyd
George harrison
Candye kane
Guns 'n roses
Ozzy osbourne
Iron maiden and a few others were nicely produced and mastered with loads of dynamics!
It really shocked me to say the least.
Especially when you consider some have been around for years.
Certainly an eye opener,yikes i'm glad i still have a good turntable!
If vinyl wasn't so expensive these days i dont think i would buy another cd.
