After the vinyl revival and the cassette revival, surely must come the CD revival. There are many good things about CD, but it isn't perfect and it's hard to love its problems. Will the CD come back into fashion again? Watch the video and decide for yourself. Check out the Audio Masterclass Music Production and Sound Engineering Course at bit.ly/3W3tpKo
Update on CD rot, mentioned in video...
There have been a lot of comments on CD rot and I can't reply to them all. On further investigation it seems that CDs that suffered from rot or bronzing mostly came from one factory in the UK from 1988 to 1993. Being based in the UK, this factory would have been where a lot of my CDs came from back in the 1980s and 1990s. You can read more at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact... DM
ERRATUM
Correction: 2:04 I made a verbal typo when explaining NICAM. NICAM stands for Near Instantaneous Companded Audio Multiplex. I said 'digital' instead of 'audio' which of course makes no sense. DM
