Let disagree about the words spoken by the sacred monster of international music, Bob Dylan, speaking of modern recordings, refers to the poor quality of the CD.
As a child I always paid much attention to the technical quality of productions
record and often, when the CD was still under study (the "advantage" to be "elderly"), I found that many vinyl records sounded really this lily.
I think the quality decay coincides with the massive use of electronic tools that began in the late '70s and '80s. Before that time the discs were recorded primarily with acoustic instruments and must spend several years before you can hear a drum machine (say a Roland) with a decent sound (I'd thank Trevor Horn, the legendary producer of the 80 very active and attentive to the sounds ).
The advent of the CD was definitely a shock to devotees of vinyl, but let's not forget that more and more often, the material used for printing the discs in the '80s revealed a sadly poor quality and the sound does not always equal.
Listening to many of the first CD, which for me goes back to 1983, however, was a disastrous experience. I still have some bad memories of that album on vinyl so they sounded decent but spilled over into metal disk were disastrous sounds flat, anonymous, dynamic zero ... in short, a real catastrophe.
the mid-90s the majors decided to run for cover by a process of remastering the album's most prestigious and so while some old albums of Joni Mitchell, Pink Floyd and other artists I love, who had regained the sound quality lost in the first step, others were technically limited because it is true that technology can do a lot, do not you think it might still magically improve the quality of certain discs recorded with carelessness.
Regarding the present time, given the tendency for consumption of fast music, it is known that
record companies tend to spend as little as possible for the production and that more and more rarely
artists rely on the care of experienced producers, with the result that very often the music quality is very poor, both from the artistic point of view is a technical one.
efforts have been made strides in music and today there is much technology available, the results are often unsatisfactory, but is not really possible to blame for this decline of the now adult CD quality!
I think rather that poor technical performance is the sad result of the rush to feed the market as many products as possible, without going too subtle.
The difference is not so in the use of a support rather than another, and therefore I believe that Dylan's words have the bitter taste of the outburst of a nostalgic awakened from a hibernation that lasted more than two decades and also, according to information coming from many quarters, for the funeral of this young metal disk will not have to attempt a long time.
