Jesus - Metallica’s Black Album production STILL sounds better than most other albums today. Such a timeless record and that production is nuts!

Todd West Can't
remember but seems they cut the album analog and mastered it digital
(sounds like a Studer 800 origination to me, that tape machine has
distinctive bottom end and low mids).....all I know is that great sound was no where
to be found on Rock's next Metallica production, St. Anger, which is one
of their WORST sounding albums. Music cut physically (analog) has
expressive tones digital reproductions of sound cannot produce either
accurately nor correctly, for more than one reason but mostly because
when you cut something converted (non-physical) you lose a ton of real,
not reproduced, data, such as nuances on strike, breath, and timbre.
Digital mastering doesn't mess that up as bad (and can add alot in some
ways if you got someone who knows what they are doing), long as you
start with a real physical recording, not an immediate
recreation/reproduction caused by conversion. So I betcha the Black Album
was cut physically (analog).
