I never said that I can't hear the difference between the formats... so don't put words in my mouth. A great song trumps all. It IS the Ace, regardless of format 24 bit, 16 bit, mp3, etc. Just because I love listening to a song over a great refrence system doesn't mean I have to stop enjoying it when I go for a jog or walk the dog. Would you disagree? I don't feel sorry for the bloated $3.5K a day studios. They are what the are and their equipment is great but they don't turn profits and there is a business side to music. Engineers will always have a job and place in music and so will some studios. But it doesn't take $3.5K a day to make great music and if you think so then you my friend are in trouble. I don't know what I said that offended you enough to give me the
. I assume you are passionate about the process of making music and I totally dig that so it is no sweat off my back. I just think it is obvious that the music scene doesn't have enough room for the bloated rock star studios anymore... and nature is taking its course. So engineers rather than bitch learn to adapt...you are not the first that will ever have to do so. Plenty of people lose jobs to downsizing everyday and you know what most of them live and many still thrive. Like a photograph, music will always need someone to caputre it in its best light.
