Some artists really do care and that’s one of the reasons there is so much information on their recordings for hifi to recover for us. But more importantly it doesn’t matter whether they care or not so long as the detail is there to recover. The recording engineers care. Qobuz cares, as do other hi-res order prividers. We care. So listen to their best sound over and over again at home. On great hifi- that’s what it is for. .
Neil Young calls out Tidal
TIDAL is calling their files of my songs Masters. But TIDAL’s MQA files are not my masters. I make my masters - not TIDAL. I made my masters the way I wanted them to sound. If TIDAL referred to their titles as TIDAL MASTERS, I would have no problem, but they don’t. They call them Masters. I had my music removed from that platform. They are not my masters.”.
