Happy New Year!
Hard to believe its been a year already. Last year this time I was in NY city for the ball drop, something everyone should experience just once. I'd go back and do it again!
Something I have been hearing degrade for some time. I originally decided that I'd only go to digital music from that day forward. Buying music online and ditching the CD, or as I did years ago the record. But, in recent years I have noticed what I considered a degradation of sound quality from the digital format. I always assumed that it was the compression used to store the real sound in a smaller format such as a Ipod. Well, to combat that I have went back to purchasing CD's then trasnfering them into Itunes. I felt I was getting better sound quality from the CD and forcing Itunes to transfer it in as high a quality as I could. Yes it eats up more space, but thats fine in my world. In my dayly surfing I come across this article. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122114058&ps=cprs
Sure enough there are others out there noticing it too!
On another note, early in life I always said I wanted to work in the recording industry as a sound engineer or something to do with sound. I wish I had followed that dream before I killed my hearing from years of headphones, LOL.
On to 2010!
