- kuschku 10y agoIf it’s properly done. There’s thousands of retail CDs out there with clipping, intentionally created during the Loudness War. To listen to them properly, one would require a remaster, or 24/192.
- pja 10y agoThat’s a problem with the mastering, not the recording format: There’s plenty of dB available in a CD to cover the full range of human hearing. Sadly you have no guarantee that a random 24/192 recording wont have the same compression / clipping problems that plague CDs thanks to the loudness wars.
- kuschku 10y agoWell, not "a random" remaster, but most of the time, the hi-fi versions are just a reencoding of the actual master, at the mastering resolution of 24/192. Which is quite awesome, because that doesn’t have clipping. Basically, what I want, is ideally the master, in the original version. Just like I’d prefer RAW images with a header telling my program which settings to apply for rendering – but still allowing me to change exposure.
- ubercow13 10y agoThe 'master' has already been mastered. If it didn't it would sound awful. The conversion to redbook format is just one small step at the end of the process that has nothing to do with clipping.
