"No Noise, pop, and crackle would be the equivalent of Edge enhancement or compression artifacts."

No, technically speaking, audio equivalent of Edge enhancement or compression artifacts would be dolby NR, and DBX 'breathing'

Btw. I have no use for all of those above.

Cinematic, (meaning artistic, not technical) equivalent of "pops, crackles" would be excessive use of special effects as 'eye candy', or some bizzare "art for art's sake" use of weird photographic angles, or too much and inappropriate 'rapid cut' editing, plus too much artificial lighting to make sure audience can see as much as accurately possible of the whole scene, in clinical detail.


Please notice Mike Figgis, the director of "Leaving Las Vegas", emphasized diffused lighting so that the audience can't see everything in clinical detail, that's right! He deliberately obscured the detail so as to not to distract the audience.

Now, contrast this with typical banal 60's studio movies, and notice how much 'fluff' one can see that doesn't do anything with story telling.




"Do you prefer the sound of cassettes over a good LP?"

Actually my ideal choice is 15ips 2track, live recording, after that 7 1/2 ips 2 track, 4 track, and 3 3/4 ips 4 track, and then comes totl vintage 70's cassette decks. That's right, I actually prefer totl 70's cassette deck over 80's cassette decks in general, they have very diffused sound that I really dig.

Btw. I only use LP to make my own dub. Cannot stand 'pops', and 'crackles', but can stand the 'hiss' within reason.
