Harry Nilsson - One of my favourite albums, and has been for forty years, is The Point. I frequently put it on in the car.

Right now, a spot of Chopin, actually.
Quite nice to listen to the raw melodical value, not something run through a mix with digital effects and everything.

He said as the audio is digitised/compressed/converted to at least three different standards before /transmission/ then decompressed and converted by the processors at the other end to appear at ones audio chipset.

For all we know Brigitte may have been tinkling the ivories of a Roland.

But then.....

No.

For all we know (well according to the CD), this was published in 1993, and therefore recorded on a piano with two or three mikes in the classiscal configuration.
(Which I am sure you are familiar with?)

Also, due to the vintage, we know that this was recorded without auto-tuning, deep-splicing, or micro-editing of any sorts.
(the AMS was only really coming out by then - and the Fairlight Audio Editor still was not well accepted in classical circles).

Quite likely a bit of Massenburg, or if not available, some other mastering EQ device.
Quite likely som discrete compressor.
But a Roland? Don't think so.

And by the time the audio has passed from the linear CD (16-bit format) into analogue audio through my amplifier through my DALI speakers to my ears... erh... not a lot a change going on.
(Why do you think I'm slaved to the internet for audio??)

So.... I think you may find that you may be wrong, Sir.
