phbart 609 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Not really. It has a really dull and flat sound compared to the 1996 release. The SACD doesn't improve things very much either. The only "use" for me was the then unreleased tracks and the correct and/or alternate performances of some sections compared to the 1996 release.

Could you enlighten me if they really sound different from each other, like they claimed one was sourced from a digital master and the other from the analogue dub?

Probably because it was created using the master for the Japanese audiophile LP. The front cover says it was digitally recorded, mixed and mastered, so I'm assuming it's DDD. All the other ones I have are ADD, and sound the same to my ears. In all honestly I don't have great hearing at all so probably would notice minor differences.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Different, maybe a little warmer? Not a huge difference imo. @Amer knows this release as well Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I have no idea if my OST is sourced from a japanese LP, but I highly doubt that any of these releases sound better than the other. Comparing all four of the “major” releases (that I have personally ripped) on my high end sound system reveals, perhaps more importantly than the question “which sounds the best”, that none of them sounds bad. The ET releases are not Star Wars; it’s hiatory is not marred by each release sounding distinctively different from the next. A little warmer, a little “cooler”... more or less low end... it seems minuscule and more down to different EQ during the mastering process.

King Mark 3,631 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 On 2/4/2019 at 4:02 AM, Alexcremers said: During the early days of the internet, I stumbled upon a conversation with one the technicians involved in either the recording or mastering of ET. The bottom line is that they actually screwed up the transfer of the first release because it was not yet a fully developed technology. I remember he said that the multitrack recording was analog, but at the same time the whole score was being recorded on a two-track digital recorder, which was a novelty back then. He said that, due to the early stage of the digital transfer technology, several CD releases in that period actually sound more brittle than they should. It's funny that this unintentional digital 'sheen' is being perceived as superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
