Yep. It's the defacto argument against mp3 being played in clubs.

lol
massenburg makes a better more qualitative argument but i still think they exaggerate the issue and his methods are flawed in that revealing null tests and what is different does not mean this is what you hear. I think he doesn't quite understand how mp3's work and they and all seem to have an agenda. George claims music today is just bad and that is why music is not mixed well, the other guy is just a snob that is out of touch.
develop an audio format that allows easy tagging and market it and it will catch on. THat is the only reason why flac is not ever going to be big. People need that picture instead of the file type. Also , it will have to coincide with download speed in USA which is damn slow so nobody is going to budge for a while. And make people care. unfortunately nobody does. A 128 mp3 is good enough for 95% of music consumers. |

what if
hey guys what if like
HEY.. okay like, imagine if like, in 100,000 years humans have evolved to the point where we actually CAN hear the difference between 44.1khz and 96khz. Like our ears evolved or whatever. And then like the people go back in time and listen to our music and it sounds TERRIBLE because we made everything at 44.1khz, wouldn't it be worth making music at the higher sample rate, like for our children? And our children's children? Think about it. |

I wonder how much difference a wav versus a 320 would make.
All of the bad sound experiences I have had were either blown speakers, or some idiot redlining the mixer. |

i would say if anything. our hearing will degrade in terms of evolution. We don't need it. By then they will have ways to put things directly into your brain. Skip the ears basically. |

I've heard 320mp3s to wavs back to back on a proper funktion-one setup and it is indeed 'noticeable', and the difference from 320mp3s to vinyl is 'obvious.' Of course not to everyone, but it's noticeable to me, the owner of the venue, many of the regulars and the other producers that play there. Despite popular belief there are still people who demand a higher standard. I think what you get with 320mp3s is people just get this vague sense that there's something missing but it's not a conscious thing.
But to be fair it's mostly the mix. Like a wav of a tily mixed track is still going to sound ty. These old classic rock recordings put down to analog tape sound amazing even as 192mp3s, so there's that. |
