Shelby Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Let's be real here, the originals are not high quality releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy plays bass Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 What is DMM and why is it bad? Also, Xtra Mile has more info and tracklists for the CD release. I'm excited to hear those alternate takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Direct Metal Mastering is a one-step process. Mostly automated. They're cut at a different angle than lacquers even though a lacquer's cutting angle is closer to your cartridge at home. the fact that DMM masters are cut at an almost 0° makes a more harsh sound. hi-hats sound real "tinny" for instance. Not all DMM records sound bad, but I don't see them sounding much better than the cds. I definitely think fidelity gets lost on DMM recordings. DMM has definitely become a buzzword to sell vinyl and I don't get it. Does the label/band actually think that most people who read their facebook know what 'DMM' means?

Shelby Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 And it also cuts out surface noise and echoing commonly associated with that extra step when using laquers. Pros + cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 DMM is a digital process and usually gets chosen because the label doesn't want to remaster for vinyl. Might as well just listen to the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well just listen to the CD. if you're implying that the original tapes were remastered for analog vinyl and mastered directly to copper. i'll eat my hat. that sounds completely pointless though. but back to my original statement. i'm definitely holding onto my original pressings and wouldn't advise anyone to rush out to get rid of them before buying these. They'll sound different and I'll be excited to compare them. I do think the original LPs sound much better than the CDs I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm implying that you're just trying to be difficult The original press is missing two of my favorite songs, the repress is obviously straight from the CD with all the songs. Lose/lose, but this has more potential than the repress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose/lose, but this has more potential than the repress. i think you're absolutely right about the repress. What the real question now is what will be different with the US/EU pressings since two different labels are pressing them. If the US ones are pressed in the US there are no DMM plants in the US. Sadly, I assume GZ/Pirates Press will be handling these which is just a bummer. People will undoubtedly confuse 'looking nice' with 'sounding great'.
