    Just wanted to make an update. One point I made in the video was noting that there were a few albums on Tidal that I couldn't find so I'd have to listen via Bandcamp, but since then, the majority of these albums are now on Tidal. This can be as simple as a label releasing their catalogue. So the issue of less music available continues to shrink. Also, yeh, I meant to say the payouts are 4x as much as Spotify not 3x as I said, woops. That number may have changed again given Spotify's pay outs have only declined over time.

    Agreed... The sound quality is noticeably better. Years ago when I first started using Tidal, I encountered buffering issues, but it's been smooth sailing for years now.

      I think I had the same issue years ago and I turned off normalization, haven't had the same issue since.

    How about the number of users? Does Tidal have enough users especially for new artists who need to reach a large audience?

    • @RobBrens
      @RobBrens  Год назад

      I can't answer that off the top of my head but what I will say is Spotify becoming increasingly "pay to play" is making their audience size redundant for artists. It'll wind up being a "paid with exposure" platform. But regardless this video was centred around recommending a switch for consumers, not necessarily artists.

    I wish u could play your local files on Tidal. U can on Spotify. I had both for over a year. But left Tidal. But since Tidal pays more and I heard this before....and my favorite group De La Soul is now on streaming I'm thinking of getting both again.

    • @RobBrens

    There's an audio quality difference between Spotify vs Tidal, but you need a good studio monitors to hear the difference. On average headphones or in your car, it's unlikely to hear that quality difference. Tidal music quality of 1,411 kbps is much better than Spotify's little 320 kbps.

    • @RobBrens
      @RobBrens  Год назад

      I'm not entirely convinced that's true re needing good monitors. I think even today's "average" headphones or car stereos are more than adequate enough to differentiate and enjoy Tidal's HiFi quality (let alone the master quality). But, all that being said, would the average Joe notice or even care? Probably not. Thanks for watching!

    • @andynonimuss6298
      @andynonimuss6298 Год назад

      @@RobBrens Remember that the listed frequency range of all headphones is very misleading. Overall quality comes down to the level of audibility and accuracy within the whole frequency range. Let's take the very popular Beats Solo3 as an example. Testing from RTINGS and Stereophile shows the Beats Solo3 low-mid frequency issues starting at 400 Hz and below. The charts show bass boosting and distortion starting around 200 Hz. Levels above 5 kHz show a noticeable dB drop creating a lack of upper-treble response. RTINGS show the bass and treble are not accurate to the original mix as the Beats Solo3 is color-profiled with bass at +3 dB and treble at -3 dB. Reviews mention distorted bass, a muddy lower midrange, and a somewhat congested soundstage overall. Having the transducers so close to your ears while isolating the music from the environment, is completely unlike listening to music in a room environment. This is why all professional mixing is done on high-end studio monitors in an acoustically treated room. Playing Tidal through a Beats Solo3 ($129) vs my Genelec 7360A 10-inch Subwoofer ($2,565) is going to be a BIG difference in quality and accuracy on the low end.

    Without supporting the artists and songwriters, we will have no music. The ethics behind these services are not equal. I continue to buy physical media if I like the artist. I then own the disc and I have no concerns about compressed files, streaming issues, lossless issues and the like. It is a much simplifier playback with control and known quality. With all of the talk of high-definition files, you have to ask what is the original source of the files? In many, many cases it is an up-sampled version of the 44.1 format. These people providing the streaming services simply do not have access to actual master tapes. It is very doubtful you are getting what they are selling in the high-def or "master recording" premium packages.

    • @RobBrens
      @RobBrens  Год назад +1

      I think that's also why they changed the naming of the "master" quality stuff as well. There's a lot to be said for how we consume and experience music via the physical format, convenient is valuable but not necessarily better. I love having my turn table etc. Unfortunately the companies won't change so it has to come from the ground up.
