Re: Nubreed returns to Global Underground

I was bought this as a present. After reading the sleeve notes I was expecting the greatest mix CD of all time, but it's actually quite a ploddy release really.

Honestly check out the sleeve notes if you can - ridiculously fawning!

There is no benefit in buying mix CD's anymore. You find better mixes online and they don't cost anything.

I don't agree with that at all. !! There are really great mixes out there for free, and I am incredibly grateful. But there is so much more to a CD, the quality most importantly , but the artwork and the sleeve notes. I just love getting my cds. !!

Re: Nubreed returns to Global Underground

I don't think I'll ever stop buying CDs. I much prefer to have a tangible item as opposed to a disposable mp3 file that can stay hidden on a hard drive somewhere.

Agree. The best way to listen to music.

Re: Nubreed returns to Global Underground

I still find some magic buying cds...... That smell of new plastic.

Re: Nubreed returns to Global Underground

CDs are barely quality. Redbook (the standard for CDs) supports up to 24 bit but all we get is 16. The only thing I agree with is that files tend to disappear in your hard-disks, so whenever you want to listen to something you end up searching YouTube because you have no idea of where the file is.

Re: Nubreed returns to Global Underground

^^ Cds are one hell of a lot better than Youtube. Better than most of the sets as well. Most digital files are are 16. In fact we here in Australia can't get even buy 24 bit.

Don't fall for the High Resolution marketing trick.
16Bit, 44100Hz. is already better than human hearing.
You can go higher, but you will not hear any difference, it will only take more space.

Re: Nubreed returns to Global Underground

Youtube is not cd quality, no doubt about that. But some clips sound very good.
Listen to this for example:

Sample rate: 44100 Hz
Channels: 2
Bitrate: 192 kbps
Codec: AAC
Codec profile: AAC LC
Encoding: lossy

I don't have this on cd, but I doubt I would be able to pick this out in a listening test.

Maybe there is more to listening to music than just hearing. The big problem is that poor recording can still be done in high resolution. And sometimes great recording sounds really good. I buy my tracks in AIFF/WAV and in some of them the quality is still terrible, particularly the ones from when I first started buying . It's quite frustrating when I shuffle them.
