anyone purchase digital analords on rephelx.com?

can you please confirm whether the original analords are 24bit wav as well?

no answer from rephlex.com

deferring

the original analords were on vinyl, don't really get what you mean?

He probably means digital vinyls.

he probably means digital vinyls

eh no: he probably means origial digital vinyls

is it on digital vinyl?

yeah i think it's only 23bit though. that extra bit went missing in the great bit theft of 2008.

This release may contain 48 kHz Pre-Mastered WAV's.

These are PRE-MASTERED encodings, which are either straight from tape, DAT, drive or Elcassette etc.

And yes the original analords are 24bit wav.

maybe you will get an answer if you write on grant's facebook wall !!!

lold my ass off. the great bit theft of 2008.

I have no idea what the Analords were originally mastered to, whether it was even a digital or analogue format. As far as the .wav and .mp3 downloads go, they're a bit haphazard... some are 48kHz, some are 44.1kHz... Most seem to be 16-bit. I wouldn't worry about it. The music's more important than the sound quality, and the music itself is mostly pretty good. As is the sound quality. :)

Dunno, my vinyl is 52,3khz 23 bit.

mine are all only 1-bit, don't really see how I could fit any more bits onto my turntable...

Try telling the OP of this topic. Oooh I went there sister

FYI Mine are 12Mhz, 9¾ bits wide.

the point is i wanted to hear the digital mastering such as that on the chosen lords - for the remaining analords.

you want to hear digital mastering on a series whose whole purpose was to remain analogue? hence the gear used, then recorded to tape, then the tape straight onto vinyl etc...

I don't get the point. you seem to be far too concerned with bit depth elusive, why is it such a big deal to you?

how deep is your bit?

Did anyone think they are a king biscuit?

Well I went straight from Chosen Lords to the digilords, what with not having a record player... They sound pretty similar or the same as far as I can tell. Then again, I'm not an audiophile, I like music, not hi-fis. :) Really, though, if you're all about digital perfection, maybe you might prefer some Autechre to the Analord series. ;)

Yeah, cos that goes down really well, doesn't it ?! ( http://forum.watmm.com/topic/67080-request-for-24bit-rereleases-of-draft-and-confield/ )
