One more thing…

When I talk about “right quality” I mean that audio people are fools and when they see 176KHz sampling rate then they automatically assume some king of “quality”. The industry takes now and will take in future a full advantage of that simplicity. In my world the definition of quality is not sampling rate but the absence of the intermediate idiots who “master” the files. I would rather prefer to have a raw (never was resaved!!!) file at 44KHz then an edited file at 176KHz. Digital can’t be edited. Any activation of after-conversion DSP is installs kills the file – but it looks the Morons who are and will facilitate us with music do not “get” it…

I would like to stress this point, the 34923847290345 times. When I send a question about the AudioMirrors about the HDCD encoding their files the studio manager replied that was not pleased with my attitude toward to the industry people who “edit” the files. That borough in my memory an event that took place probably 7 years ago or so. A guy contacted me. He was surprised with my disrespect to the hard working editing studios put in the CD. I do not want to give up his name but I would say that he is one of the top notch sound engineers with good industry reputation.  He proposed to me to demonstrate of what is possible in the things are done properly. He proposed me to send him a 16/44 files, he will do his “magic” and send it back to me. So, we did. At that time (it was 7 years ago) he used some crazy machines that people used at that time for film’s CGI and FMV. He explained to me how different it was and why he run all his prosing at 32bit and 704KHz. I hardly understood what he was taking. Anyhow, in a few weeks I got the file from him. Playing my original files and his “edited” files was very clear why I feel that those idiots shell be not allowed to touch sound and if they do then somebody shall cut their hands off.
