RE: Current state of pop music recording

Is worse than you could imagine

My daughter was into the music scene, and got to "play" (for lack of a better word) producer for a few well known alternate / metal bands. She received mix down tacks 16/44.1 at BEST. Often worse. Often recorded on middling consumer gear in home studios/ garages/ broom closets. (She had a couple tracks make it on finished albums, don't think she ever got liner note credit let alone paid)

Hi res? Forget it. Even artists I thought would be more aware of quality simply didn't care beyond "good enough". They didn't want to commit the $ or time.

I only buy hi-res of recent masters of old analog tape, and new classical and jazz if I know it was recorded hi-res. And a poorly remastered turd in hi-res still sounds like a turd.
