2888802, They Only Sound Better If It Was Mixed & Mastered Correctly
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Fri Jun-13-14 09:44 AM
These days with kats recording music in their computer/laptop and mostly doing their own mixing or letting the computer do it sometimes sound cool when it's transferred to another site for download and put onto mp3 but when you get your music pressed on vinyl it needs to be mixed & mastered just for vinyl and the engineer can only master what's there and if the music was poorly mixed especially if the music was compressed for mp3 and not for dynamic range that vinyl will produce during playback (all those flaws will be heard).

And these days I've heard some really poor sounding albums cause it was made for cd not for vinyl and the music was too loud, not loud enough, sounding mono, the bass be over-powering, not clean and sounding thin, and this be mostly from major label artists, not just indie kats.

I will admit that from the early 2000's and back, albums do sound better than cds but these days not so much.
