Ah yes, I am familiar with this, I was actually talking about the Pet Sounds 1988(?) CD, It was still in mono, but lost some of the mix in the AAD(?) transfer, I think this is quite apparant in a lot of cds(Beatles For Sale, Sgt Pepper, hell most of the Beatle catolouge) I suppose an easier term to use is "bad mastering" I'm unsure. Thanks for the help though!

"They're professionals, not somebody sitting at home with a turntable and a computer to capture the sound!! LMAO"
I am not into technical issues but professionals make mistakes, too. For example, I used to own a ADATR CD by Parlophone which had the end of YTMBA (take my breath, take my breath... away)cut as the beginning of Long Away. This mistake was quite embarrassing and it was eliminated in the later 1993 digital remaster series. Just an example that professional studios make real bad mistakes sometimes.

Hmm... considering I wasn't saying anything about profesionals MAKING mistakes, or otherwise, I think that's a weird post you've made YV. All human beings make mistakes when it comes to these working environments, professional or not. My original point was about una999 getting the terminology wrong and saying that a professional approach is different to how he thinks.

Looks like this thread is full of misunderstandings. I thought you were replying to SK and his comments about "wrong mixing".
I'm going to take another stab at this...
If you're talking about a CD from the late 80s, The Beatles' CDs, and such, you may be refering to the liner note that describes how it is impossible to "capture the warmth of a record" - or something like that.
If this is the case, it has nothing to do with the actual recorded bits, but rather with how a CD sounds when it is played.
IMO, this is correct because I think the earlier discs sound terrible - too quiet and hissy.
Am I anywhere near what you are talking about?
Also, I'm not claiming to have ANY technical knowledge. Hopefully that is not too obvious, though.
