Re: When hi-res audio stops making sense…
There is a huge amount of confusion, possibly deliberate, around the term compression. There is digital compression, a software process that reduces the size of a file, preferably it is "lossless". Then there is audio compression or dynamic range compression. The former can be removed to r...

Re: When hi-res audio stops making sense…
As I am sure you know bit depth determines dynamic range. It seems rather pointless to compress the dynamics out of a recording, or performance, and then issue it as 24bit. A friend, who used to run a recording studio, once cautioned that “if you can hear the compression, you’re using too much”. He...

Re: Stu
Today i have played at one of the least enjoyable gigs I have ever had the misfortune to be part of. The whole thing was a catalogue of disasters. I am hoping that a good night's sleep makes me feel better. Easy to say, I know, but shit happens, mate. Far better (and far more famous) musicians than...

Re: Taking the piss out of politics

Re: Taking the piss out of politics
Farage is the banker who can no longer bank... I 'love' that the tory press is whipping itself into a real froth over this, whilst far too many of our populace qualify for a food rather than a posh nobs bank. Not entirely the most self aware people on the planet. One of those rare cases where a pri...

I wish I could see the images in Slinger's posts, but all I get is the word "image" . . . If you have in any way restricted Facebook that is what happens. I use container tabs in Firefox which prevent Facebook from seeing my internet activity. I usually copy the image link and open it in ...
