@richardbrand , sorry so late for a response. Admittedly, my classical music listening participation is quite less than the posters here, on this particular thread. I am a rock and jazz guy, 45/45...A great example of an exquisite "studio, multi track" recording, would be "Welcome to the Pleasuredome", an album which is uncanny for its work put in by Trevor Horn, the producer. Likely not an album you would listen to (I might be wrong), but I am a huge fan of this debut studio album by FGTH. It is also a great soundtrack to fine tune a system. Somewhere on here, I started a thread on this particular recording....My best, MrD.

I’ve played the Mercury Living Presence sampler “You are There” on all incarnations of my setup for many years. With each improvement of my rig it’s sounded better. Until now, finally it’s sounding the way it really should. It’s a great confirmation that I’m doing things right after many years of experimenting, with advice from this forum.

@mrdecibel , Why, thank you very much. The same to you! |
Thanks for this pointer - I will explore! Seems to me from the dates that this would have been an all analog recording, released just after the launch of CDs. What I am most interested in finding out is how digital PCM multi-track recordings have been re-mixed digitally, especially for rock music. Each PCM sample is a whole number, and mixing involves taking a fraction of one sample and adding the result to fractions of other samples. In general, there will be rounding errors, whether the whole number is thought of as binary or decimal. The more tracks, the more the rounding errors, I would have thought

@richardbrand A giant, stripped-naked human pyramid in a big, sensual dancing scene between two lovebirds from a biblical story doesn’t quite click. It might be a modern interpretation of a legendary opera - interesting. I do like the music, though, and all the opera singing by Elīna Garanča in the other acts (Romantique, DG).
One-way by ferry is more than a 10-hour trip. How do you manage the commuting part? Is there a flight option?
