[Dixielandjazz] Los Lobos, LPs Warm Sound

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Hi Bob"

I imagine what you heard was a reproduction of a Cd recording off of a 
bad vinyl recording if you heard ticks and pops, and a needle hitting 
the track, because you don't get that with lazer technology, so the 
person who mastered it probably just made a bad copy of a bad record 
onto a CD and then reproduced them to sell them as CDs.   Especially if 
it came from a South american Country, not necessarily up to snuff with 
the latest technological equipment and engineers.


All you need to get a bad copy of the record is to put a microphone in 
front of the speakers that is going into a digital system to record it, 
and transfer it into a digital format, then you can burn a Cd and 
manufacture from it.   I showed the audio boys that trick at High 
Fidelity and AES shows in 1978 when the major labels were trying to 
make folks believe that the CD would erase record pirating and 
counterfeiting.   If you can hear the reproduced sound, you can record 
it to another recording medium and remanufacture it from there, you 
will just lose quality in the reproduction each step that you take.
Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
