They were pretty amazing in the small clubs in Worcester in the early days… I lived 4 blocks from WPI in the thick of the scene… Aerosmith, J Geils, The Cars… all live local and small clubs. Miss those days (miss being in muh 20’s again too…)
If you're not doing any post processing of the audio after ripping, remastering, dither, there's no need to rip CD audio higher than 16 bit. While DACs can support higher bit rates, that's not native to CD. So, save some hard drive space, and keep it 16 bit.
Yep I believe that was to keep the ships out of German hands perhaps? Oops already answered by @Ripper2860.
Adding dither on playback also increases low level micro detail, by pushing the audio data out of the noise floor of the digital data. I used dither when prepping a client's CD-R master, and it always audibly improved playback quality.
Sorry to hear about your health and I hope you get better. I thought you might may have misspoken so I tried to think of a nice way to say it.
Definitely post what you think of Limelight, it is not one of the really famous songs I hear so often from Alan Parsons..
I really like the early J Geils Band, the Full House album in particular.
I think The Cars fell into the same trap a lot of bands do when they attain commercial success. They try to sound exactly like their records when on stage. It makes them boring, predictable, and sterile sounding. But it's what the kiddies want.
There were two in the group that you sent to me.
that's marvellous news - I often wonder if dreaming is a ' mental de-frag ' It certainly helps me deal with my inner angels and demons . I hope this line of treatment helps you
IMHOOMG, his body of work is amazing. Off the top of my head his film scores for Cinema Paradiso (My favorite movie), The Hateful Eight, Once Upon A Time in America, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (who does not know that one.)
His works are unequalled by a modern composer and he touched so many facets of the music industry.
I just discovered Winter Walks that was released after Morricone’s death. I will take the time to give it a listen today. Thanks so much for mentioning him.
I left out another favorite movie soundtrack, the 1997 remake of Lolita starring Jeremy Irons.
Ah ha, I meant to include at least one and then I kept finding them.There were two in the group that you sent to me.
I probably only have three now and one leaves today. I bought specific CD’s then @FLTWS gave me miscellaneous boxes of others. After today I will have the selections I want to keep. Generally if I feel I can help a friend I try to do just that.
I totally agree, among my 65,000 + albums I have a section for movie scores. John Williams certainly ranks high as well. If you get a chance watch the 2021 documentary Ennio.
