The end os hifi turns up occasionally as a discussion point. With the development of hi rez digital and the continuation of vinyl its not all bad. I have been reading Davis Byrne's excellent How Music Works, and there is certainly a demon on the horizon. With the decline of music sales, I wonder if we are going to see a decline in recording quality, and big advances for recording. Byrne recounts how making one of his albums about 10 years ago cost around $250,000, something which would be harder to do now in the days of cheap downloads, file sharing etc. Sure it is possible to do a great recording for less if its a small band, but for some types of music its going to get difficult |
