The drummer looks mightily bored in that video
As usual trade off between speed and space. I use 256+ compression here but as others point out what is the average playback? £10 earphones? As with pictures take the master on the camera, share it and people upload it it then download it and upload it and the image/sound can be awful - lossy compression on each circuit :-(
I got cheesed off listening to some jazz tutorials the other day on my computer so ran it through my amp difference was huge.
bad input + bad output = terrible result
bad input + good output = bad result
good input + bad output = bad result
good input + good output = good result
All of the above depends on one's hearing of course. I heard of some guy who insisted on running his HiFi on a separate ring main to cut out electric noise for his <insert name here> Bang & Oulfson super expensive equipment. He could have been correct about improvement (I never heard it) but I personally probably would never pick that up now?? Maybe when I was younger?
I have noticed watching old BBC open university programmes are like having a cataract + glaucoma + age related macular degeneration all in one.
Having said that, I downloaded the particular track on Spotify (320kps), played it through a decent DAC / HIfi and the bass is just low in the mix, with no mid or top end to define it against the rest of the instruments.
I blame the audio engineer more than modern technology....
Not a fan of mp3's myself and don't normally bother with them for anything other than an iPod. Drive's are so big these days I can quite happily spare the 40Mb versus 5Mb for a wav format when ripping stuff myself
Youtube is ok as background music though, playing through my laptop I can't hear any bass anyway
No, I did not compare the MP3 to the live recording. On the video I can see the bass player playing. Very little if any of that bass playing is audible during playback....

It's just the way it's mixed.

Last evening my friend sent me a link to the Tom Waits song:
'Til The Money Runs Out
I have the CD that this song is on, Heartattack And Vine, so I can compare the online version against the FLAC version on my computer.
If you or anyone wants a copy of the FLAC file, send me a PM with your email address - purely for research purposes of course - and you can check it out for yourself.

No bass in either version, because Hetfield was a twat during mixing.
and a great shame as it has some of Newsteds best playing.
