Hey George,

Former student here, and as a freelance audio engineer, it KILLS me to say this, but your right. I cannot stand hearing bad quality recordings, but I know I am in the minority. The good news (not for engineers) is that it is far less expensive to create "good" quality recordings, no need for the $100,000 mixing boards anymore.

Does anyone enjoy sitting down and giving their full attention to music anymore?

Thanks,

George

compound the serial killer scrawl (which I really like btw..) with the fact that ?% of people listen to music on earbuds that make everything sound bad..

as well as a generational divide as to what "sounds good" means.

and in the right hand corner..a small picture of the above mentioned Absolute Sound guys commenting on the "pristine clarity of the cymbals" while listening to..Mozart? no..Trane? uh uh..billy joel.
