i'm also a beatle nut, and i want your thoughts on the following:ĭo you believe that the equipment of the time, was in fact capable of recording in those extremely high and low ranges you're discussing? The 24-bit masters are worth having - certainly Abbey Road is.įirst, thx for your posts on this, very interesting. The differences should manifest themselves at the top end (hi-hats) and possibly in the bass guitar/drums.
The differences should be audible on good equipment. In between there is little difference.Ĭonclusion: the files are very similar but still different. Looking at the diff file frequency plot, the differences are all below 500Hz or above 15kHz. Interestingly the hi-hats are very clear.
#The beatles abbey road flac hi fi plus#
The difference file sounds silent until you give it 50dB of boost - then you can hear broadband noise (hiss) plus the basics of the music itself - you can follow the words!. Second observation: the overall null is -82dB (so in 16-bit terms the difference is in the bottom 3 bits). There is zero sample rate difference between them (ie the samples all line up perfectly - not possible if they were from different masters).
OK, so I diffed the 24 and 16 bit versions of Come Together.įirst observation: these come from the same digital master.
