Prise de Son d'Exception
Audiophiles are sometimes like bad buddies who only care about versification. They count bits and kHz and check their audiograms before listening to the music and even evaluating how it is recorded. However, a bad sound recording, even in 24-Bit, will remain a bad sound recording, because high definition cannot restore a harsh sound or an unbalanced balance. This is why the Exceptional sound recordings, regardless of the technical format of the file, tell us about the Art of sound recording and its masterpieces.
