    Did someone know if there is a difference when using analyzer tools to view commercial mp3 reference songs that I download from a online free converter who convert spotify & YT links

    or

    Is it better to buy some .wav RIP of the songs? Where?

    Is there a way to get the project wave file as it is out of the mastering stage and before rendering to platforms conversion staging?

    Thx

    Just search for FLAC audio files. Much better than streaming quality.

    it's not a good idea as the rip from a vinyl (even well ripped) is quiet far from the original master honnestly.
