Ian Shepherd , the same Mastering Engineer that claimedMetallica ’s latest record album sounds better on Guitar Hero III , hasrecently fare outand state that even the vinyl interpretation sound better than the CD . Keep in mind that the heavily distorted track on the album are the outcome of an editing unconscious process that sacrifices dynamical reach for an increase in mass . This ism on mastering CDs is ground for the most part on a self - induced paranoia that sales will pass up if the album is n’t loud enough . Some have even blamed thepopularity of the iPodand its lo - fi earbuds for bestow to this problem . alas , the vinyl was made from the same mix as the CD , so the straining is still there . However , it is fairly standard pattern to make separate Edgar Lee Masters for freestanding formats , and Sheperd ’s psychoanalysis reveal that the analogue distortion on the vinyl radical tracks have less lop ( although the dispute is minimal ) compared to the the CD edition . In realism , this is probably a arguable percentage point given the fact that a hard-core Metallica fan is far more probable to to dig up GHIII cart track than buy a lazy Susan . However , even the thought of turning to vinyl these twenty-four hour period further exemplify the point that disc label need to re - concenter their care back on lineament .
