Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

Convenience? Besides if it's 320kbps, it shouldn't differ from CD? Anyway I store everything digitally, just not a fan of accumulating stuff. At least hard drives are out of sight.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

CDS are aiff . I've actually been comparing with 320 promos and believe me, playing them through the same sound system, the cd sounds much better. Plus hard drives crash Aside from anything else I like the pretty pictures

It comes back a bit to your 2D , 3D thing, I'm really happy with promos and live mixes in 320, ecstatic in fact. But if i can get it better . I want it better .

Btw isn't Itunes 256 max ??

I put the cds on my ipod in aiff , but I have to say I'm not confident that is much better at all. Even with sennheiser headphones.

plus the quality of burning a cd is rather low, although I will say there are higher quality blank cd's available.

CD1 is brilliant!! Loved it. On to CD2 ..

On the mp3 vs CD .. FLAC format is the way to go I think.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

CD 2 is so so ... good moments but not consistent. I want to like it, I've heard it four times, I hear moments that jump out and then disappear. Maybe it's just not as surprising as CD 1, coming from Hernan.

CD 1 > second half of CD 2 > first half of CD 2

I agree CD2 is not as surprising , which could be why so many people like it best. It's safe For once I am taking the two CDs as separate entities. CD2 is just a wonderful example of the Hernan sounds we [nearly] all love Where as CD1 is edgier, even slightly uncomfortable, but so deep and rich !! Once you go with the flow it takes you to a whole other place. For me CD1 is doing what Hernan keeps doing , progressing. It's very, very special

Huggie , mainly agree with you , but there are a few tracks that, in the right place, could totally blow your mind in a club. And you wouldn't have to be drunk

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

right, has some time for this finally.
I have to say cd 1 is really really smooth I like the flow...i love the tracks and it just doesn't have anything missing. CD2 was a slight disappointment ... his previous renaissance was and still is mind blowing!

How does one convert CD to flac directly??

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

When I was on PC, I always used EAC for ripping, and I'm sure it can convert CDs to FLAC.

Exact Audio Copy V0.99 prebeta 5 (including CDRDAO and Flac packages) last changed on 07.05.09

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

Thanks feather, its been a while since I've used EAC, lots of changes.

Re: Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance The Masters Series: Parallel

^^ but basics are still the same. I use it since ages too and love it. Since the choice of the audio compressor is yours with EAC, you can also point it to a FLAC compressor or any other encoder you prefer.
