No kidding! There’s still folks who insist on doing it that way.    Posted:   Jun 12, 2021 - 9:15 PM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) F*** it. I’ll get the SACD version. I have no idea how I’ll play it, I don’t have a 5.1 setup and I’m not sure I’d even want to play a score out loud for everyone to laugh and point at me if I even did. But crappy telephone booth art be damned, I’ll fork over for SACD. Though I’ll admittedly be disappointed if this gets a digital release later on because I’d much prefer digital for this one.    Posted:   Jun 12, 2021 - 10:27 PM     By:   ROBERT Z   (Member) F*** it.

Well it's Hybrid, so you can play it like a basic cd in steréo.    Posted:   Jun 12, 2021 - 10:49 PM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) F*** it. I’ll get the SACD version.

I know - I'll be paying an extra $15 to use it as a CD :'(    Posted:   Jun 12, 2021 - 11:08 PM     By:   ROBERT Z   (Member) Don't cry baby, when it will be sold out it will cost more than 70 bucks because of it's rarity.    Posted:   Jun 12, 2021 - 11:36 PM     By:   Spymaster   (Member) CD for me. I'm a big one for physical media and improved formats but SACD has never done it for me.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 12:12 AM     By:   Nono   (Member) Though I’ll admittedly be disappointed if this gets a digital release later on because I’d much prefer digital for this one. Some sold out CD Club releases are then available as download. 3000 copies is a lot, so if it ever happens for The Matrix, it won't be until a few years.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 3:02 AM     By:   DaveM   (Member) I found Varèses first draft of this cover    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 4:07 AM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) CD for me. I'm a big one for physical media and improved formats but SACD has never done it for me. If you have a half decent cd player the standard Matrix version is just as good, that's what i'm taking, I have a top-draw cd-player & dac that gives the ultimate experience!    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 7:06 AM     By:   EdG   (Member) F*** it.

Extracting the DSD file from a SACD is quite difficult. And it won't be the original PCM 24-bit file. Still better than no Hi-Res format at all, though.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 7:56 AM     By:   EdG   (Member) F*** it. I’ll get the SACD version.

No one I know of sells DSD or PCM files so it's not like anyone's missing out. FLAC is as high quality as anyone needs for stereo.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 8:11 AM     By:   thx99   (Member) No one I know of sells DSD or PCM files so it's not like anyone's missing out. FLAC is as high quality as anyone needs for stereo. HDTracks sells DSD files, in DSD-64 (64x the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of audio CD format), DSD-128, and DSD-256. And PCM is an audio encoding process, not an audio file format. PCM-encoded audio is sold in WAV and AIFF formats typically.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 11:48 AM     By:   EdG   (Member) No one I know of sells DSD or PCM files so it's not like anyone's missing out.

My understanding is none of those are multichannel so I still would expect that a FLAC rip from the CD layer would be as good as you might need but if anyone wants to go all the way for the highest res file possible I guess you'll have to wait and see.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 1:31 PM     By:   thx99   (Member) Well, I learned something today.

WAV and AIFF are container file formats. They can store audio data encoded in one of a number of audio encoding processes [e.g., PCM, Adaptive Differential PCM (ADPCM), mu-law, A-law, even MP3], and they are able to store multi-channel audio. Multi-channel audio can also be encoded in FLAC. Since FLAC is losslessly compressed (unlike MP3 and AAC which are lossy compressed), the only difference between a stereo FLAC file and a stereo PCM WAV file is file size. FLAC can achieve about a 50% reduction in size with no loss of quality.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 1:48 PM     By:   Jurassic T. Park   (Member) From what I'm finding, there is no way to rip the higher-res version of the SACD layer, you can only rip the CD layer. If that is indeed true, it seems SACD is not worth it for me, given that I don't have a 5.1 setup and that I likely can't play the higher-res track (unless I use my PC's blu-ray disc drive and listen on headphones). In that case I would think CD is best and wait until there is a digital download of higher-res, if ever.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 6:16 PM     By:   Totoro   (Member) Yeah, but none of you can tell what "Switch Woks Her Boar" means!    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 6:35 PM     By:   Chris Avis   (Member) Yeah, but none of you can tell what "Switch Woks Her Boar" means! I think it was originally an anagram for Watchowski Brothers, wasn't it?

I think it was originally an anagram for Watchowski Brothers, wasn't it? C I thought everyone already knew that most of the cue titles assigned by Don Davis were all anagrams for "Wachowski Brothers", but maybe not.    Posted:   Jun 13, 2021 - 8:18 PM     By:   Mr Hand   (Member) From what I'm finding, there is no way to rip the higher-res version of the SACD layer, you can only rip the CD layer. There are ways to rip SACD, but they require very specific hardware (1st generation unpatched Playstation 3 or select Blu-ray players with SACD compatibility).     General Discussion: Don Davis's THE MATRIX (1999) 2021 Varese Complete    << < 6 7 8 9 10  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
