Åpenbart ikke noe du kommer til å høre under NM i luftgitar. ;D

Litt mer folk/blues type musikk, mye bra gitar lyd.

Jeg liker å ha noe deilig å sovne til, selv om jeg ikke fyller opp HDD og platehyller med soniske sovepiller. ;)

Rent lydmessig finnes det vel knapt noe bedre der ute enn denne skiva. Om du liker den sjekk ut de andre nyhetene fra samme plateselskap som jeg har lagt ut i en annen tråd under dette forumet for Anbefalinger.

Mvh

Da ser det sannelig ut til at det er noe på gang!

Updates on Blue Coast Collection Gold Those of you who have preordered the disc will be thrilled to know that we are scheduled to have fully packaged discs at the end of next week. The discs and digi paks have arrived and we are waiting on our 16 page booklet. If you'd like the disc and digi shipped directly without shrink wrap, send us a note. We can ship your discs now and the booklet when it arrives. We sincerely apologize for this delay. At the request of our distributor, we were compelled to add more information in the booklet about how we remastered and why we removed the compression.

Jeg la tidligere inn ett spørsmål om endringer på denne og den opprinnelige utgaven og her er svaret:

Thank you, Morten, yes, we plan on the Gold Edition reflecting the non compressed version that is on the Stereo SACD. The overall volume is lower, but, the sonics are beautiful. I prefer this more dynamic, though, softer and less distorted version. sorry it took so long for me to respond!

Her litt mer info fra facebook siden:

Blue Coast Records announces the release of the Blue Coast Collection--Collector's Gold Edition. This special release has been remastered without compression for full dynamic range. Also included will be a 16 page booklet with information on the recording sessions and full color pictures from the studio.

For more than 10 years recordings have been getting increasingly louder while the sound has been degrading in quality. On the original SACD hybrid disc, only the SACD stereo layer was left uncompressed. The CD layer had increased volumes which is standard for most discs even today. The founder of Blue Coast Records, Cookie Marenco (a recording and mastering engineer herself) decided to take a stand on the volume wars by releasing the uncompressed version on Gold CDs.



This graphic representation is the actual comparison of the first song on the Collection, "Looking for a Home", performed by Keith Greeninger and Dayan Kai. The top representation is from the original disc with increased volume. You can see in the louder section that compression had "flat topped" the dynamics eliminating natural peaks. The lower panel is the wave from the new Collector's Gold and is the same song with no compression and no flat tops.

The overall volume has been purposely reduced to avoid creating distorted peaks. While distorted peaks are subtle, the compression to limit those peaks creates an unnatural sound. Blue Coast Records has felt it is time to take a stand on the loudness wars and believe people know how to use their volume controls. Here's to TURNING UP the volume!

Det vil nødvendigvis bli softere, slik svaret sier. For det er kompresjonen som sørger for driven i musikken når den reproduseres. Men den må nennsomt påføres. Og noen liker det selvsagt helt uten, og ofrer litt av driven for dynamikkens skyld.

Nå er det ikke så mye driv i denne musikken, så det går helt greit ;D
