You aren't going to get rich from streaming services, they pay a fraction of a penny per stream. Apple Music is at $0.00783 per stream and they are traditionally the highest.

Seriously?

Are they f#cking kidding?

That's worse than a joke - it's demeaning as hell.

I conced Augustus. You were right and I was wrong.

I recently got a digital to analog converter and some good headphones (good enough to be ran by it for now).

I can't find much master quality stuff other than people with labels.

Woof.

That's one of the tradeoffs. You can mix in your home but having a professional board run by a tech is going to give you a much richer sound. My buddy in the industry plaid me some demos, same songs but just done low tech and then in the studio, the sound is noticeably different.

Yea... With modern music there is a noticeable difference. Enough to make the service with the cost to stream a wide collection.

Classical on the other hand, recorded live in a concert hall at master quality is vastly different in contrast. It's wild.

You'd appreciate my friend playing guitar with his tube amps, he's able to reproduce sounds from notable guitar players which really captures their era.
