CD Sound Quality
A nice visual example of what happens when sound is compressed.
Also see earlier posts on the subject here, here, and here.
The album “One Guitar” sounds so beautiful because it was NOT compressed at all. (You can order the CD here or from your local store.)
great explanation… it makes it very clear – thank you
i especially like “when there is no quiet there can be no loud”
oh, and of course, may I add that “On Guitar” also sounds so beautiful for other reasons… like who and where it’s coming from
