TAS Episode 4 of "My Lunch With Andre" strikes a nerve?

[Dre_J]

It seems, surprising to me, that some of the subject of this 4th episode of "My Lunch With Andre" seems to have "encouraged" a rise out of some responders on the YouTube channel. You can almost guess which topic section listed below did the deed. Didn't see that coming but this is a very interesting hobby!

Anyway, if you have some time to spare, take a look/listen to our lunch chat and I hope you enjoy it.

If it's the "hot" topic you'd like to respond to here on AN, my only request is that the responder listen to the conversation of that section before posting so we all have proper context.

I suspect it’s the first topic Andre? Not because I even gave it a thought until you said there was a hot topic just now here. I watched the entire video yesterday and never gave it a thought. America is in a quandary over race, religion, skin color, gender, etc these days so I’m guessing topic one. I’d be happy if it was any other topic listed. At least it would be audiophile related.

That was it Mark. I never gave it a thought either. Then, some of the comments (by no means most of them now since many more were posted) I saw this morning were a surprise to me. Mikey ask me a question which, apparently, he was asked at AXPONA by another interviewer. It seemed harmless, and I still think it is, during the lunch chat and I can understand why he brought it up with me. I believe I answered in a concise and straightforward way given the off-the-cuff nature of the lunch chat and not knowing the topic would even come up.

In any event, the show was great in my opinion as was the attendance. Most importantly, I was happy to see you and all the others who came to the Saturday morning breakfast meeting. That made my day!

Made my weekend Andre.

Andre, that was a very enjoyable 50 minute chat.

I am glad you brought up the mastering component of digital music. People talk about that all the time with analog recordings, mostly records, but seem to forget that when discussing digital. People seem to act like all digital is the same. It isn't, as you highlighted.

I'm happy you enjoyed it, David.

The conversations or topics are not scripted but that seemed like a good time to mention the mastering issues.
