Can an MP3 sound better than a Blu-ray?

Jessie Baylin's new LP

(Credit: Steve Guttenberg)

High-resolution formats like Blu-ray, DVD-Audio, SACD, and LP are all capable of delivering superb sound quality, but having music in those formats doesn't automatically guarantee great sound. The recording itself would first have to sound great, or to put it another way, a great sounding MP3 would sound better than a heavily compressed and studio processed 192-kHz/24-bit Master Audio Blu-ray.

Worrying about what sounds better--FLAC, WAV, or AIFF files--is a total waste of time if you're listening to an Adele or Black Keys album: the music's processing levels are so extreme, there's nothing for high-resolution formats to better resolve. With classical music or opera it's a different story. Those recordings might have their full dynamics intact, but most of today's rock, pop, hip-hop, and rap is squashed flat, so it's loud all the time. They're mixed and mastered that way, and lossless files can't magically restore what isn't there.

There's a visual analogy to be made: digital audio is more like photography, and analog is more like painting. Digital can capture a near perfect copy of the mix, but analog adds colorations and distortions to the sound, which many listeners prefer to the harsh reality of digital recording. Maybe that's why analog scores such a decisive win for some listeners: you feel the music's emotional power more on an LP than a CD or FLAC file.

Neil Young recently expressed his concern for declining sound quality standards to MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival: "I don't like it. It just makes me angry. Not the quality of the music, but we're in the 21st century and we have the worst sound we've ever had. It's worse than a 78 rpm record. Where are our geniuses? What happened?"

There are always exceptions. I recently heard an interview with singer-songwriter Jessie Baylin on NPR, talking about her new record, "Little Spark." She said the music was recorded to two-inch analog tape, so I bought the LP, which comes with a CD, and the tunes on the LP really do have a timeless, sophisticated pop music feel. The CD is a pale and crude rendering of the same music. I'm not claiming all LPs sound better than their CD counterparts, but Baylin's does.

The special news on mp3: Lou Reed talks vinyl over MP3 at CSULB

Lou Reed talks vinyl over MP3 at CSULB

The Carpenter Center hosted legendary rock 'n' roller and Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed on Friday night.

Reed spoke with his team of four sound composers about his sound art exhibit currently on display at the University Art Museum. 

The exhibit focuses on Reed's infamous and nearly career-ending 1975 experimental noise rock album "Metal Machine Music" in a pure and uncompressed format on one of the most advanced audio systems. 

Reed and his long-time friend and famed rock producer Bob Ezrin carried on conversations that weren't so much about Reed's career but instead about their obsession for the highest quality of sound. 

They spoke about MP3 formats and asked people if they could tell how terrible they really sound. 

Ezrin asked the audience with a show of hands who didn't really care for sound quality in their music and only listens because they love the music's content. The response was mixed and some people admitted to not really caring about the music's sound quality. 

Ezrin and Reed also spoke about the rejuvenation of vinyl and how the LP format is really the only way music should be listened to in order to achieve the highest quality of timbre. 

Ezrin said in reference to MP3 formatting, "We have reduced our delivery system to something so simple and so gross."

Reed expressed his love for his home stereo system and said he feels the only problem with vinyl is that a good delivery system is so expensive that most people cannot afford a quality record-playing system. 

Reed is also an active member of the Occupy Movement and a joke was made that he is part of the 1 percent and is therefore able to afford a sound system that could cost more than $10,000. 

Later in the evening, Reed and Ezrin spoke about the technicalities of "Metal Machine Music" and questions were asked regarding the album's motifs. It has long been assumed that the album was a joke with a direct negative response to the record industry, but Reed responded with a sincere tone that the album is really about his love for the electric guitar. 

He described his New York apartment in the 1970s, when he recorded the album and laid several guitars with unique tuning up against their amplifier cabinets and essentially listened to the guitars play themselves with feedback. 

"The biggest mistake was releasing the album," Reed said. 

"Metal Machine Music" appears to be one man's love affair for the electric guitar and has long been considered to be a trailblazing album for noise-rock, industrial and alternative music. 

Reed and Ezrin's team of four who built the 12-speaker binaural ambisonic process sound system came to the stage for questions and comments. 

The team explained the technicalities of the sound system. The sound is three-dimensional, whereas a stereo is only two-dimensional. It has an organic sound similar to a live concert. 

One man on Reed's team was Ulrich Krieger, a professor of composition at CalArts and a distinguished saxophone player. Krieger had managed to notate "Metal Machine Music" and wrote it down on paper even though Reed said it could not be physically done. 

Reed was so impressed by Krieger that he gave him permission to record the entire hour arrangement and let him play it live in Berlin. 

"‘Metal Machine Music' is very much a symphony with many orchestral concepts with guitars," Krieger said. 

The presentation of "Metal Machine Music" in the University Art Museum will be on display until April 15 and is free for CSULB students.

Who could have guessed it - If Microsoft Brings Xbox Live Games To iOS & Android, Can We Get Zune, Too?

If Microsoft Brings Xbox Live Games To iOS & Android, Can We Get Zune, Too?

• Tweet
• Share
• Email

Rumors are swirling around the possibility of Microsoft letting their precious mobile games out of the Windows Phone 7 gated community and into other mobile neighborhoods. Specifically onto Android and iOS devices.

Sparked by a leak to Business Insider and further fueled by a statement to Forbes that all but says Get your thumbs ready, kids!, mobile gamers and Xbox addicts everywhere are salivating at the prospect.

While the Microsoft spokesperson might be right that “the Xbox Live experiences and games always work best on the Windows platform,” consumers are willing to settle for slightly less than perfect to feed their addiction.

It does raise the question of whether Microsoft will put in the necessary work to get Xbox Live games working well on iOS and Android devices. Presumably they won’t want gamers to have a bad experience with the games even if they’re not running on a Windows phone. I don’t see someone switching devices just for games â€" and given the state of WP7 market share, neither does Microsoft.

Perhaps there’s no reason to worry. Kinectimals for iOS is doing well and enjoys a 5 star rating in the App Store.

The Forbes article points out that Xbox Live games generate a lot of income for the company and that the division (Entertainment and Devices) that handles both Xbox and WP7 is one of the best the company has overall, revenue-wise.

If Microsoft is going to roll with the strategy that it’s just as or more important to hook people on content, not only devices, I have a request: Can we please get Zune on Android and iOS, too?

I know the company has given up on Zune HD, even if they’re reluctant to admit it. Maybe this is the right decision even though I personally shed some tears. The energy that went into the Zune rightly shifted to Windows Phone 7.

The Zune music and video service lives on, even if it’s wedded to Xbox Live. Zune Pass is a hidden gem for music lovers. For $14.99 a month you get access to unlimited tracks from major and indie labels. Yeah, you get that with Spotify and Slacker Radio and others. But Zune also gives users 10 free tracks a month to keep forever.

The only downside is that the subscription tracks are protected WMA files that only play on certain devices. Zunes of course, WP7 handsets, and some MP3 players, but not Android or iOS devices.

Have a little more corporate greed, Microsoft, and extend your empire to other devices. Please. Consumers will give you money to do so.

• They changed the $14.99 month deal back in October. It’s just like Spotify now, $9.99 a month for unlimited downloads, but there’s no ads. Also don’t forget the Zune Smart DJ makes great use of the Zune Pass by downloading music according to your likes.

• As a loyal Zune (8, 80, and HD 64) user, they really need to release a non-phone WP7 as the next Zune device. The iPod Touch and, to a lessor extent, thwarted Galaxy Player have enjoyed huge success because there are a lot of non-phone users to target (mainly kids too young for their own phone or mobile users who don’t want to kill their cell battery on Angry Birds).

  I love WP7, but am locked into Android for my cell phone because it’s a better fit for my workflow. I would JUMP at the chance for a new Zune to complement it!

aeg live!! I know something about aeg live Jay-Z, Beyonce make Billboard industry power list

Jay-Z, Beyonce make Billboard industry power list

LOS ANGELES | Fri Jan 27, 2012 8:05pm EST

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce joined a list of top music executives, led by Live Nation Entertainment chairman Irving Azoff, on Billboard magazine's first Power 100 chart on Friday.

Only a handful of artists broke onto the list that sought to name the recording industry's most influential people and was dominated by businessmen and women. The selection was determined by a combination of money, market share, Billboard chart data and other information, and a team of 15 magazine editors analyzed the results to produce the list.

Both Jay-Z and Beyonce made it due to numerous ventures outside their singing careers including Jay-Z's Roc Nation music, management and entertainment company and Beyonce's sponsorship deals with brands such as L'Oreal. Collectively, they were placed at No. 13 on the Power 100 list.

Azoff has been at the helm of Live Nation Entertainment, a ticket sales and concert company, since 2008 and previously represented artists such as Christina Aguilera and Van Halen.

Just behind Azoff at No. 2 was Coran Capshaw, the founder and partner of Red Light Management, who helps run the careers of groups such as the Dave Matthews Band. Rounding out the top three was Universal Music Group's chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge.

Others on the list included Creative Artists Agency's managing partner and head of music Rob Light at No. 7 and Interscope Geffen A&M Records co-founder Jimmy Iovine at No. 10.

Rock band U2 came in at No. 27 along with their manager Paul McGuinness based on their ability to sell more than 7 million tickets to their last tour along with their prolific chart career. Fellow rocker Jon Bon Jovi clocked in at No. 50.

Country music star Taylor Swift, 22, made the list at No. 78 for being a "branding powerhouse" with her own management company and lucrative contracts with companies such as CoverGirl. Pop sensation Lady Gaga followed Swift at No. 84, picked for the sway she holds over millions of loyal followers on Facebook and Twitter.

The list held some surprises as "The X Factor" creator and television mogul Simon Cowell ranked last at No. 100, beaten by his former "American Idol" colleague, host Ryan Seacrest, who ranked No. 64.

Seacrest was placed higher due to his numerous ventures including his syndicated daily radio show, "American Idol" hosting gig, production company at NBC Universal and his newest venture to reshape HDNet as a pop culture TV network in collaboration with billionaire Mark Cuban, Creative Artists Agency and live entertainment company, AEG.

The full list can be viewed at Billboard.biz and in the upcoming issue of Billboard Magazine, on newsstands January 30.

Sony adds digital noise-cancelling to entry-level Walkman

This year, Sony's refresh of its entry-level E-Series Walkman line is much different from previous generations.

The new NW-E060 series--due in Japan on February 11--will only come in 2GB (NW-E062) and 4GB (NW-E063) options, which is far less capacity than its predecessor (which went up to 16GB). What is truly noteworthy is the inclusion of digital noise-cancelling, which is a feature previously only available in its high-end Walkman audio players. Music playback with this option enabled is rather amazing, as it nearly removes disruptive ambient noise in its entirety.

Battery life is a healthy 30 hours for MP3 playback (24 hours with noise cancelling on), but that figure is 20 hours less than the previous model. Similarly, the screen is only a 1.4-inch LCD, once again a downgrade from the 2.0-inch screen used in the past. I am wondering if the cost of integrating digital noise-cancelling contributed to these cuts. On the other hand, maybe the gurus at Sony finally realized they were selling several MP3 players that were too similar and wanted to differentiate.more
