Dr, Dre's not the "average rap album" is it?
It was a ratio of quality difference, as it were. Britney Spears isn't the average Hip Hop album either is it? As much as I dislike her music, the engineering (and equipment used, obviously) is often of the likes of Dr.Dre's team, and Britney Spears was the reference
you used. My comment, "I don't take that as a pro, I take it as a con" was in response to the "average Hip Hop album". Meaning, if it's quality engineering/sound your denoting, the average Hip Hop album isn't a good reference point. But, I'd even go on to say that even the average good
indie Hip Hop album uses better equipment than an Mbox. But, then again, what's average,? There are some tons of mainstream albums, and some tons of indie, and tons of backyard basement albums. Where are you getting your perspective of averages? Is Jay-Z in your averages? Try getting those results with an Mbox and it's pres.
As far as redbook standard, you can quiz me on it all day, know it like the back of my hand, the problem lies in you're analog, I'm digital.
I'm not quizing, I'm simply stating that it's the only hard-press standard in this industry, What's to know about it? 16bit 44.1 kHz, that's it, easy peezy, lemon squeezy.
Analog is a better sound, true, but it is no longer the hip hop industry's choice.
Not really better, it's just a different sound -- some prefer one or the other, I use both. Hip Hop industry's choice, huh? The Hip Hop Police are hard at work making-up a huge census, eh? I guess if you say so, then, I should believe you.
.....as you have to agree it doesn't mean much if you're recording digital.
Nope, totally disagree. That makes no sense, whatsoever.
I'll fall back, you win this aguement, being that you're on a completely different page.
Okay, thanks, bye bye. I wasn't arguing, nor tring to win, but okay whatever you say. I think were in two different books actually, based on our opinions (not the subject matter).
I will reword. If you are recording digital(I swear I said this b4)a preamp doesnt' make a huge difference.
Ehggnnt, wrong again.
Yeah I mentioned digital and "average rap album" didn't I?
Sure did. What's your point?
