Majority of people (non-audiophlies) feel louder sound better, therefore there was a loudness war, mastering engineers overuse maximizer to get louder sound to sell more music. It was unfortunate event for audiophiles because it deteriorates the reality of the sound. On the other hand, Vinyl has a restriction comes from the media, when the audio signal level is higher, groove becomes wider and recording time becomes shorter. Therefore, in order to record `normal' duration of sound to vinyl, loud sound part should be shorter (than CD mastering) and most part of the music should be less loud. Because such vinyl media constraint exists, mastering engineer should create master data sorely for vinyl, and it is automatically loudness-war-free, has more dynamics. At least excessive maximizer problem does not exist on vinyl music content. In short, sound difference comes from the different mastering. If the vinyl sound is carefully recorded using ADC, recorded digital data has the same dynamics and reality of the vinyl AnotherSpin and manueljenkin 2 Sunday programmer since 1985 Developer of PlayPcmWin Link to comment
