I’ve yet to receive my copy.
Le monsieur fait une demande… Alors cela ne sert � rien de r�clamer le lien.
Still haven’t seen the CD here. Also, if you click the following link: https://www.tombraidersuite.com/shop/tomb-raider-suite-double-jewel-case-cd/
You can see for yourself that the expected delivery date changed from a generic August 2018 to a generic September 2018. I’m starting to think that even those who backed the thing on Kickstarter still have to receive their copies.
It made well over the kick-starter asking budget. And many will buy it officially. I bought the CD, but not the digital copy. However, CD won’t be coming till next month. Its lame the CD doesn’t come with a digital copy.
I want to purchase a digital copy, but will I only get them in mp3? Not FLAC?
With Nathan McCree and 2 other people trying to take care of the project and Nathan having just had another child born, I understand why it isn’t all done at once. And the kickstarter was to raise money to make the project, not create immediate profit. Anyway, my digital was MP3. Still sounds really good though. Not sure if it’ll be available in FLAC. I’m awaiting my CD now too. I should have my name in the line notes.
"Dear Tomb Raider Suite Fan
It is with great pleasure that I am now able to offer you the Digital Download of The Tomb Raider Suite in 2 high-resolution formats.
We are giving these away for free to all our backers who pledged for the Digital Download and to all the other fans who purchased it via our website to date.
The only limitation is that you have one attempt and need to choose which one of the formats you prefer. This ensures fair use and helps prevent the servers from being overloaded.
Kindest regards

It annoys me to see Nathan selling 320s as a "high-res" format, that’s utter bullsh*t. Anybody with basic knowledge of digital audio should know better than this.
Calling 16 bit 44.1 KHz lossless audio "high-res" is not correct either, it’s standard CD quality. Usually you’d see 24 bit 96 KHz or above for that label. The point is sorta moot though because that’s moving into serious audiophile/snake oil territory. CD audio pretty much exceeds the limits of human hearing. If you ordered a CD of TRS, you’re getting/already have the "high-res" version (unless the CDs were mastered from a lossy format… it’s been known to happen. Let’s hope not).
FLAC is a great archival format for a home music library, regardless of how good your audio system is. Reason being if you want MP3s to put on your phone, or AACs for your iPod, you can very easily encode your own, and you should be too. Having FLACs on a portable device is a huge waste of disk space, because in 99.999% of cases the player’s DAC and your headphones are too cheap to reproduce the potential, let alone in the noisy environments that you’d be listening in (bus, car, gym, etc.) If you want to use one of the tracks in a video that you’re making, FLAC will make sure that you’re not doing a lossy transcode of the audio when exporting the video. However if you download the MP3s and then want to go to another lossy format, it’s going to further "mutilate" the audio and you may end up noticeably losing quality.
