RE: Sound Cards

[Hans Lindauer <hans@ernieball.com>]

I stand corrected.  It was _Hotter_Than_July_ that I was thinking of.
For 1980, I'd say it sounds pretty darn good.  I guess I'm not the only
on who thought so; it was Stevie Wonder's first platinum album.  I
searched for info on this album, but all I could find were reviews for
the 24-bit remasters.  Go figure.  My point is, you can still record
good music on a low-quality sound card.

           Ry Cooder's Bop Til You Drop was the first major-label
(Warner,
1979) record to be recorded digitally. As far as I know, there was no
looping on it!, but it is a great sounding LP. Sorry, not sure of the
specs
on that though...
