When i render a mix down to cd quality from 96 24 tracks and listen to the rendered mix i end up wishing that 96 24 was the typical resolution for music delivery.
Bootleg vinyl sound quality.
During the 1970s an underground recording industry emerged.
As we learned the same record from the very same stamper could sound quite different depending which pressing you were listening to.
The problem with most bootlegs is that they typically have absolutely horrible audio quality and sound worse than if they d been recorded with a microphone being flushed down the toilet.
Flac can handle up to 192k 24bit.
I record in 96k 24bit format and this format allows significantly higher sound quality than the 44 1k 16bit of cds.
This site covers a broad variety of releases from that era.
The quality is pretty good and sometimes it gets really quiet and then really loud.
Using audience recordings fm broadcasts and unreleased demo tracks as sources they were sold by mail order and independent shops.
The most common type is the live bootleg or audience recording which is created with sound recording equipment smuggled into a live concert many artists and live venues prohibit this form of recording but from the 1970s onwards the increased availability of portable technology made such bootlegging easier and the general quality of these recordings has improved over time as consumer.
Information on the difference in sound quality between the various vinyl bootlegs was even harder to find.
Sometimes like in the case of that green nirvana bootleg live at bbc1 radio that popped up a while back it was a show they played and it was the songs that didn t get released.
