The CDs I'm burning sound great to my ears.I'm thinking about buying a Roland workstation, which is a complete studio package that's just a bit bigger than a computer (contains a mixer,65 virtual recording channels, harddrive storage for an hour of music, non destructive editing. an effects card for 100s of echo chambers and different amplifier sounds) You can save the recordings to a zip disc or other add on, when it gets full. It got a nice automated mixing feature. It remembers your mixes
But one unit is a 20 bit, the more expensive one is 24 bit. What's the difference? The Moody Blues' old product have been remastered at 20 bit, according to the blurb to hype it. What's the big deal? 24 bit must be extra special, I assume.
To improve on the sound they'll have to raise the sampling rate more, which means we'll have to upgrade our equipment...again. My 28 dollar record player in the 50s sounded better than Cds. But my hearings shot. It used to be extradordinary, now it's just normal. All the digital advances aren't about to improve on my hearing. Even with them, there isn't much new music worth listening to. It all sounds like disco to me. So why, with all this state of the art gear, does the music suck so bad?
