This produced a pretty symmetrical pattern in the vinyl that was required to keep the needle firmly in the groove. I probably have many details wrong, but to the best of my understanding, when mastering for vinyl you were more or less forced to put the low frequency instruments, like bass guitar and kick drum, dead center in your mix. *) Not all remasters are great, or even an improvement over the original, agreed. It was there all along, but due to technological limitations, I never heard it before. The added clarity and ability to pick up things I never heard in the original recording is something I find to be a positive addition. I am actually a fan of the (good*) remasters, as they tend to have more dynamic range, way better separation between the individually recorded tracks and a much wider soundstage. I guess I’m just frustrated Apple decided to fix what isn’t broken.ĬW: long and opinionated, hopefully helpful to some Part of me thinks I should just leave Apple Music, but I have years of playlists in there, and my wife likes the new Apple Classical. Only bad part is it’s got more overhead to actually get things playing where I want to hear them (that, and I only ripped in 128 mp3… if I’d known I’d find myself here, I’d have ripped lossless when I did the do). Thankfully, before I packed all my physical media away for good, I ripped all of my CDs to the NAS, so I recently pointed Plex at the folder (I have a lifetime Plex pass, so I get Plexamp) and I’ve found it to be surprisingly capable, and I get exactly what I want to listen to. Otherwise, I’ll go to a different solution. I like to simply ask for my music and have it come on. I mean, I like Apple Music for its integration with Siri. More and more, I find this is the case.ĭoes anyone know of a way to designate original recordings, assuming they’re even there to listen to in the first place? They’re ALL the remasters with the aged faces on the covers. For instance, just try to find an original recording of a Phil Collins album. I try to find “alternative versions” on the page for any given album, but usually they don’t exist. It isn’t the album I bought back in the day. But they’re literally offering songs that sound like they’ve been re-sung into ‘new’ versions or contain other music that’s just a little different. I wouldn’t mind if all Apple did was give me a tweaked version that sounds better for streaming or whatever. I just want the album I know and love and bought when it was released. They are all remastered, or deluxe, or whatever. I’ve found since I started out that more and more, I simply cannot get the albums that I know and love. So, most of my listening habits as a child of the 70s who grew up in the 80s is, for better or worse, classic rock and pop.
