CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

interesting that people like bob Ludwig said he received masters mostly on tape, to the tune of 85%, approximately.

Digital can be good, I make no case for either.

Just that.... no, it does not come in as digital and is then pressed into vynil.

Yes, it happens all the time but no, it is not the norm when making records, not by a long shot.

After about late 1990's to 2000's, most vinyl music is first recorded digitally in the studio and then pressed onto the vinyl. There is HARDLY any direct analog recordings any more.

So, everyone who THINKS that they are listening to analog on vinyl, wake up and come to the 21st century.....

For the most part, there haven’t been many great albums since the 70’s. Did you consider that before you ignorantly accused people who like vinyl of being ignorant of the recording / mixing / mastering processes used in different eras? If you feel so threatened by this discussion, why not leave? Otherwise, get a grip on your outbursts. Nobody has time for them. 

 Der @teo_udio900: : "  it is not the norm when making records "

In what century do you think we are living? Did you took in count that we are living at the started  2 0 1 9 ?

You and the OP make a good match/mate.

Why would you think your second paragraph follows from your first?

You do realize that the majority of vinyl people are listening to are older recordings coming from the analog age, don’t you? Not the 90's to 2000s when vinyl was being produced ever more rarely.   Not only is the second hand "crate digging" market for old vinyl by far the lions share of the vinyl bought, but even the chart topping vinyl in Billboard tends to be titles from the golden analog age.


The vast majority of the vinyl I own is analog source.

And even with new vinyl releases, while many come from digital masters, depending on the title efforts are made to go back to the analog masters.I have plenty of such newly pressed vinyl.

And even in the case of digital masters used for vinyl, they also can sound fabulous (it always comes down to the master sound quality, whether the original is analog or digital).
