![]() ![]() These were great because they could be played thousands of times without degrading, they weren't so susceptible to scratches and fingerprints, were easier to store and were pretty cheap to manufacture. By taking the analogue sound wave that was once pressed into vinyl, slicing it up, and converting it to 1s and 0s allowed it to fit on a small shiny Compact Disc. When music entered the digital realm the major driving factor behind new technology was convenience. Read on for a bit of the history of the Studio Master and for a more technical insight into what makes it sound so good. It allows you the listener to hear a recording exactly the way the original artist and producer intended it to sound, before it was altered to fit on a CD or squashed down to MP3 size. The files are also known as HD, high definition, hi-res or high resolution. ![]() ![]() Well, anyway, thanks again.A Studio Master download is the highest quality music file available anywhere. If the source wasn't very good to begin with or there were many errors, I'd just as soon download the mp3 to save my data downloads and hard drive space for something else. I'm usually a little skeptical about downloading lossless audio that I haven't encoded myself. A lot of the title contains speech from the game that sounds highly processed to begin with (perhaps even mp3 compressed?) and it could be throwing it off. I'm not really familiar at all with this sort of thing and I guess it could be aliasing of some sort, but it could also be that auCDtect is wrong. There's an end to the spectrum around 16kHz, which could well be why auCDtect thinks that something is missing, but surprisingly there is again significant amount of data above 20kHz. GOG.com: Could you check if there has been a mistake with track 13?ĮDIT: Out of interest I took a deeper look into track 13 and it looks strange. It's significantly less confident with track 1, but that may be because it's so short. So, with the unfortunate exception of track 13, it finds it likely that they are lossless in origin. I haven't listened to them yet, and I certainly can't claim that I can hear the difference to high quality lossy compression, so I ran them though auCDtect 0.8.2 and here's what it thinks:Įric Brosius - 01 - Irrational Games Logo ![]()
