If you make this into a Wordpress plugin it would be on every install in a week.

This is very cool. Especially for ASL.

"In the 19th century in America, middle-class girls and women played piano far more than men. Yet all that piano playing failed to result in any creative output."

Well, I'm convinced!

Rape isn't terrible for the people who do the raping. Thanks for making the industry just a little bit worse.

Because pay-for-play is the very worst of the music industry and I won't support it in any form.

You realize that's not a compliment, right? Payola was terrible for music and terrible for musicians. On behalf of myself and all the other musicians I promote: You're hurting music.

I've helped the Bank of Canada (which is the Fed of the North) to start releasing Wordpress plugins: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/bankofcanada

Which is why I said it's confused.

Right, but then they quote someone saying that the video game version is better because of "digital domain compression", followed by a statement that "Digital compression is the process that allows a song to go from being a very big sound file in its natural state to a very small file in your iPod"

Also, "digital domain compression" isn't a thing.

To expand on this (and repeat what I just posted at NPR), Death Magnetic sounds worse on CD because of dynamic compression, not digital compression. If digital compression was the problem, then the Rock Band version would sound WORSE than the CD, because the CD has no digital compression (and Rock Band does). The CD is what you make MP3s out of, after all.

The CD master of Death Magnetic has had its dynamic range heavily compressed (which squashes the waveform), where the Rock Band version is uncompressed because the game mixes the song on the fly.

They've confused digital compression and dynamic compression. Death Magnetic sounds worse on CD because of dynamic compression, not digital compression.
