LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Bob Dylan says the quality of
modern recordings is "atrocious," and even the songs on
his new album sounded much better in the studio than on
disc.

Arny, you got a problem wid dat?
No problem, I probably would agree with him, if we both
sat down and auditioned the same recordings.
I think that the quality of many modern CD reissues of
recordings origionally issued on CD in the early-mid 80s
is atrocious because of the dynamic range compression
that also seems to be endemic in modern releases these
days.
But with his stature and fortune, doesn't Dylan control
the mix?
We're not talking mixing, we're talking mastering.
This is strong evidence that vinyl is superior to digital.
Total nonsense, because we're comparing CDs mastered in the 80s with CD
mastered in Y2K+.
