Normal for a master?
I downloaded a torrent from Dime, where the lineage was:
source = my master>optical out >standalone cdr >eac >flac 8 But looking at the spectral view, not sure what to think. I don't think that's normal for a master (maybe it has something to do with 'optical out'>'standalone cdr'?? I'm not sure what those are  ) but looking at the top there and how black it is (and when you zoom in, you can see "blocks")....... looks lossy of some nature...Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks!

^what he said
nice direct digital transfer, too MD when its from the master recorded at a show (not a broadcast) is about the only lossy that's largely accepted by traders.

Re: Normal for a master?
I'm not sure but a bootleg I received looks similiar. I'd be eternally grateful if somebody could tell me if it's MD sourced or not.

Re: Normal for a master?
I hate to break it to you, but that looks more like .mp3 to me.
I wasn't so impressed by the spectral views, but I'm pretty sure that frequency analysis gives it away. But make sure you get some second opinions. Quote:

Re: Normal for a master?
Those pics actually do show strong md-ish characteristics, however the whole thing looks rather weird (low-bitrate?) to me.
I'm sure I've seen this kind of spectrum on an md source before, now if I could only remember where...
