Re: The Greatest Natural Sound Recordings in History: Group Files Se

["Lou Judson" inaudio]

Yes, my point was only the distinction between listening archives for
the moment and archives for the future... MP3s can sound fine, but
pros always want to preserve the original PCM file for "future use"
is all I was meaning to say. In my book, original recordings as MP3s
are not usable as master files for editing as the decode/re-encode
process is so destructive.

Not debating the need for a place to keep them and access our works!
