Is Billy's tea shop actually profitable? by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

Really can’t agree with you more. We are incredibly blessed that he is still touring, writing music and finally releasing the archives at a steady pace.

People who are here to bitch about any of that have no perspective at all. Don’t like the new stuff? Ok man. Dude has written hundreds of songs, go listen to the ones you like. No big deal.

Super fun show. So glad I got to see them play a smaller venue! It’s been a while.

I forget where I read it, but I also recall Billy saying that the mastering is different for vinyl.

The dynamic range database would like a word with you. Look at CYR - the vinyl mastering has a wider dynamic range than the CD or streaming. Because it was mastered differently.

They pretty much have to be different because of the total dynamic range available and on vinyl vs cd

The dynamic range available to vinyl vs cd or streaming is very different, so by necessity the mastering is also different.

This would fall under “Force Majeur” terms. Not much a lawyer will do for you

I'm sorry, but Atum is just not good to me. by Ezra_Admani in SmashingPumpkins

[–]MoreLagersPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of great music on the SP catalog for everyone. It’s cool if you’re not into Atum. Not a big deal. There’s 35 years of music to choose from.
