Not trying to bust your balls either, but if you want to have a real and fair shootout, get in on it yourself, invite everyone else ... and I'm game. If we all had the mix file and not the mp3, and if it was blind vote with a number of non lucey-haters in the voting, we could have a fair and real vote. But again, to what end? The client is already happy.
This is no scientific study, and I NEVER TRIED TO BETTER IT. Only to get close using an mp3 source - which I did - insults from the petty not withstanding.
Bottom line, 9X% of the public would not know any difference and 100% would like or not like this music, buy or not buy this music, based on these masters. The music and mix is the thing ... that's the point. |
Brian,
I certainly don't consider myself a card-carrying lucey-hater, I've got no personal reason for anything like that. However, I do wonder if
you ever wonder why so many of your efforts on the internet end up in a similar quagmire. Occam's razor would favor what you see in your mirror.
In this case, yours is a convenient argument to offer when the comparison doesn't favor you. "I did it fast", "never tried to better it" and "9X% of the public would not know any difference" are probably not the kind of things you'd be saying if the balance of opinion was on the other side (whether they're truths or not).
But regardless.. You wouldn't be having this argument at all if not for your assumption that a post like this is an open door for you, or if you said "oops, my bad" and backed off.
I'm going to shaaddap now .. it's none of my business anyway.. but I'd just as soon read a thread about mastering without the devolution that you bring, inspire, or whatever combination you care to describe it with.
