The Studio Master is cheaper than CD quality!!!

I cannot order it and have tried with UK, SE, AE, Pakistani IP addresses!
If anyone gets through and gets it for me I have paypal!!

Fredrik

Someone nice on the forum helped me out and I now listen to the single get lucky in SM quality. Unfortunately it sounds overloaded/compressed and almost distorted at times, pity considering the dynamic range inherited in 24 bit 88kHz material. Don't know if I could recommend the SM unless it is same price as CD copy.. SPEK output is nice and shows freq content high in the 30kHz.

Message from the nice guy.
The DR of this single is only 8, so it is highly compressed.

The 9.99 euro must be an error in the QOBUZ system, somewhere else, it is announced as 14.99 euro.
My advise: buy before they correct the error.

That song is driving me nuts.
My 8 year old son keeps playing it.
You only have to hear a bit and it stays in my head on a loop.
I hate it.

I agree and am eternally grateful for your assistance in this windows of opportunity. I saw it the other week at 14:99 I believe. That's when I originally tried various unsuccessful means of ordering it..

While I reacted on the compressed sound from my KDSM it sounded great in uncompressed ALAC format from my ipod in my car.

Hopefully, although not entirely likely, they will master the album differently from the single. It was a great buy nonetheless.

If anyone in France can order it on my behalf I'd be happy to pay them.

PM me,

Thanks,

Rik

Listening to it (24/88,2 WAV) right now - very nice sound indeed!

Get Lucky is the funkiest track on the album - most of the rest is quite mellow but I´m really enjoying it...

Can anyone translate what the engineer is sayin'???
