When a cd has the symbol "ADD" that means it was an analog recording, right?
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yup.
Also, it tends to lose track of where it is.

Heee. The acronym is why I didn't dare try to google it.

Uh oh. Does this mean I did something wrong Sue and is it serious?
Anyway, now that they have arrived and you've found the Australian release 'Bonus Disk', I've put the notes for that up with the other ones.

When a cd has the symbol "ADD" that means it was an analog recording, right?
The three letters refer to the three stages in the process of getting a recording onto the CD:
- Recording: The actual recording of all the individual instruments.
- Mixing: The process of combining the individual instruments' tracks into a single pair of stereo tracks.
- Mastering: EQing the final mixes and sequencing the songs. The end result of mastering is a "master disk" you can give to a replication plant.
So ADD means recorded using analog equipment, but mixed and mastered using digital technology.

No. moonlit, you did nothign wrong. I really like your mixes! That question was for a cataloging assignment I have.
I kind of remember all those analog to digital things, but I don't trust my brain these days, so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks for the info Jon and DX.

The AAD, ADD, DDD thing is pretty silly, IMO. There's crappy digital equipment and excellent analog equipment, so knowing what was done how tells you little to nothing about the audio fidelity of your CD.

Fun!
Magnet interviewed a bunch of musicians (including OK Go, Flaming Lips, FoW) for their Favorite Power Pop Songs. Lots of obvious choices ("September Gurls" Raspberries, Cheap Trick) but also some fun ones.

Heh. Some of my very favorite songs get mentioned multiple times. I feel so with it.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I have never heard of the Raspberries, and my dBs knowledge is pathetic. I see a lot of pleasure in my future. What should I get of these two oft-mentioned bands?
