I hope someone can answer this before tomorrow.
I'm gonna get this album because I like that "We Belong Together" song, but I just downloaded the album (review purpose only of course
) and it sounded flat and lifeless. I'm not sure whether it's the way the owner encoded the album or it does really sound like that.
It's not terrible, but it sounds strangled... not lively at all, sounds compressed, flat, there is no airy feel or sense of space in it... like all frequency and notes and instruments are set within the same flat range.
Each accoustic doesn't distinguish itself as separate music instrument performing together as a whole part of the song and the vocal is not lifely but just jumbled together in the music. (Jesus christ... too much head-fi as you can see.... lol)
I am talking from head-fi point of view, for casual listen, the file actually sounds quite normal and nothing's wrong with it. But you know us headfi members are fussy.
If someone owns this album or has heard this from a proper setup, how is the recording?
If it actually really sounds strangled like this, I might as well just keep this mp3 one instead of getting the album in similar quality.
Thanks.
PS: If nobody is answering, heck I'll just buy the album and see what happens.
