box182 2 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Would you transform that quality flac to mp3 320 kbps and share though? ^^ I think it's more important to have a good equipment to rip the cassette than if it's flac or mp3. Don't think there's a difference in sound at all between lossy and lossless with hose demos. As I understand the Buddha promo tape you will rip it as quality flac you wont share it neither? I would be ok with a good sounding 320 mp3 kbps though if someone has it. I only have 128 kbps mp3s of all this cassette releases 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wastingtime 33 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Hey, just catching up with this thread. It was sold on here - Not sure if there were other offers, but I gave up a good chunk of change! The tape is on its way to Davey now. As for sharing — Not trying to be a gatekeeper at all. Would suck for people to try and fake them, but suppose that's par for the course. And maybe not even likely. I definitely welcome any opinions on the sharing front. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wannabe corn dog 3185 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 the irony is the person who has the most resources/skills available to make fake copies of all the demo tapes is davey himself haha. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would greatly appreciate a rip of this. The mp3s I've had for the last 20 or so years are AWFUL quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

box182 2 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 If the main reason with all those tapes is not sharing them in lossless format to prevent bootlegs (I can understand that), why not just rip it to flac or wav and then convert it to 320 kbps mp3 with lame and share the mp3. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asdf182 78 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 On 2/17/2021 at 4:29 PM, wannabe corn dog said: to be fair, you got everyone's hopes up by saying this Agreed. I think a lossless rip is what we all want 🙏 most of us have never had the chance to listen to any of the other demos in lossless quality (and probably never will lol 😔) but this time we have a real chance i don't want to sound mean but MP3s again would be more of the same thing with just a very slight quality increase 😕 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ash-517 11 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Am I the only one that's happy that we're getting anything at all? Maybe I'm losing my hearing but 320kbps is near indistinguishable from lossless on my AKG K240s. Whatever Davey's rip sounds like I'm sure it will be leagues better than the existing rips that have been floating around for years regardless of lossless vs lossy compression. EDIT: Proofreading my post it comes off a bit hostile which is not intentional, I'm just trying to get people to look on the bright side of things. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boxelder 4699 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 yeah, i don't care about lossless vs. 320kbps. i considered myself an audiophile for many many years, but there's not really a discernable sound difference from my end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ry-Bread 5913 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I have no clue what any of the lossless/kbps stuff means tbh, is there a nice article or YouTube comparison video so that I can learn to be very picky about old ripped demos? lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wastingtime 33 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I think 320/MP3s is the way to go. The tape should get to Davey today (we lost some time with the weather). Will provide a Google drive download link soon. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
