Re: Beer Budget CD Release Strategy as an Alternative to The WayIt's Normally Done

[Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Krispen, talking about vinyl releases that mix analogue and digital 
forms, said,
"So, with our digital recordeing (sic) these days,
 the three letters on an album would look sort of funny: DDA."


My wife has a cool and funny way of labeling how she mixes lo fi, 
cassette recording with
digital mixing and mastering on our computer....................

she labels her recording:

UMAD          or      an Unholy Mixture of Analogue and Digital


I like that............................some of it just comes down to you 
use what you have access to use........'

I keep noticing that it always seems to be musicians and golden ear 
audiophiles  who tweak out about the
way a record is recorded.

Most people just hear music..................................You know 
this is the case because
the MP3 is rapidly supplanting the CD as the coin of the realm  and CDs 
sound vastly better
than MP3s.

So I say..............if you have the resources and you want to go AAA,  
then by all means do it.
But there's nothing wrong with doing it anyway..................It's 
getting it out to the world
that is the most important thing...........imnsho
