Complaints about digital music • Low MP3 Bitrates, 128 kbps – 320 kbps • MP3 – sounds too compressed, not a lot of dynamic range • No warmth -‐ “Metallic sounding” • But we trade these for convenience
Ironic: The resurgence of Vinyl
Vinyl fans sound off: • “It’s real music, not a representa8on of 1s and 0s” – Mike Pedero • "Vinyl records can play music with much more warmth and glow as compared to
digital formats. Listening to Vinyl records is like ea:ng a nice and tender Angus burger freshly grilled while CD's and MP3's are like Mcdonalds burgers." -‐ Dale Rojas
• "Of course we all know the BIG difference in terms of warmth and the feel of analog.. digital has its advantages but analog sound is more real, maybe because the old recordings are played by real musicians.” -‐ Obet Rivera
