Scale the Summit's "Master" Fail, Ths is what we can expect now, I guess. Options

[Engelsstaub]

I (thankfully) don't listen to this band but I have Prosthetic Records on my Facebook due to a few others on their roster that I appreciate.

Here's a screenshot of what these dumbasses submitted to the label as their "master." Is anyone else shocked that any record company would accept this as normal?



...I guess we can expect this sort of "professionalism" from the recording industry these days.

@ greynol: You don't have to guess, greynol. I can tell your right now that I'm not a musician. So?

I'm making the assumption that the "master" is a 16/44.1 CD-R and that this is going to be used to press CDs and LPs. What assumption should I have made when a record company says they got the new "masters" and the CD-R is even dated from a few days ago? Edit: I'm not at all understanding what this has to do with Rick Rubin.

FWIW Prosthetic said later that they would never use Redbook for pressing. I don't think they though I was being assumptive based on the info they provided.

@xnor: what's on the disc can hardly be more than Redbook. That's the issue. It's a CD. How many uncompressed WAV files can you fit on such a "master?"

Why would you assume it's necessarily 44.1 ? If they are .WAV or .FLAC files they could be anything as long as it fits on the disc. I often use CDs or DVDs or even BluRay discs as 'data carriers'. Would you have had a problem if they submitted a flash drive? After all, a file is a file and what you choose to put in it is totally up to you. Now if they're MP3s, well......
