Hmm, so I assume that's just the $90 flavor in hi-rez (3cd, 1DVD, + download hi-rez)?
Ted - the site I posted is that of the record label - Concord Music Group. What site are you looking at?
I've been reading the descriptions again on the McCartney website and I believe the Deluxe Edition Digital Audio for $29.99 does include hi-rez vs. the regular digital for $19.99 which is 320bps MP3S. The description of the Deluxe Edition Digital says this:"Deluxe Edition audio is available as DRM-free 320Kbps MP3s, FLAC, Apple Lossless and high resolution 24bit 96kHz audio (limited and unlimited)"
Hi there,Apologies for any confusion but the "mp3/320 only" refers to the bonus tracks you receive immediately after purchasing. Any other audio that comes with your order will be available in the hi-res formats.
Peak limiting is a process that increases the loudness of music. It is achieved by holding the loudest peaks down and raising the overall level of the music. Much depends on the amount of limiting applied, but at its most extreme the result can be a serious reduction in the dynamic range and often audible distortion.The release of The Beatles’ remasters in 2009 saw a marked change in attitudes towards these issues, where both noise reduction and limiting were used sparingly with the aim of representing the master tapes more accurately. Such is the case with the newly remastered CD of Band on the Run: tape noise reduction has scarcely been used and the degree of limiting is subtle. In addition digital technology has advanced with the ability now to offer recordings in 24 bit/96kHz. The high resolution version is being made available via download and is being offered in two formats: limited, which is comparable in volume to the remastered CD, and un-limited, which in comparison with the limited version will sound quieter, but retain the dynamic range of the original master recording.Allan Rouse Abbey Road Studios"[/i]http://www.paulmccartney.com/bandontherun/
Agree about hirez in the mainstream. We're trying! Update: I cancelled my hirez order for $19.99 (cc problem on the site) and forgot to reorder until today. Lo and behold the Macca site now has the hirez split into "limited " and "unlimited" each for $9.99. I ordered the "unlimited" and it went through (downloaded the 2 addtl mp3 songs, live versions of BOTR and No Words).
