[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy, I do not know how accurate what you say. I do not think in the terms bandwidth reduction and intermediation distortions but if what you propose is accurate (and I do not see why it would not be so) then why is it not ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy, my mind does not operate by the categories you employ, I rather think about nature of Sound not about harmonic/non-harmonic distortions. The whole subject about the distortion is intricate, not to mention that it is n...

Let do not forget that acoustic space also have own compression… not to mention that the performing intend itself has own “compression”.[/quote]The question of 'self-compression', where the performer moderates their perf...

[quote user="Paul S"]The fact is, all orchestral processing/recording/broadcasting involves some sort of "compression", so it's really just a matter of how it's done.[/quote]This is true in a more complete sense than I think was intended.Aside from t...

[quote user="manisandher"]I received my copy of 'The Karp Segall Experiment' today. The music's not really 'my cup of tea', but it's OK as background music for me. Using RME's Digicheck, I'm measuring -50dB noise at 81KHz... [/quote]What was the RMS ...

This weekend I discover interesting phenomena on which I did not pay attention before. The Montrealian Charles Dutoit conducted this weekend Boston symphony. I was listening the broadcast, recording it as usually. It was ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]So, what, the WGBH did broadcasted the M6 live-to-tape with…horrible sound. Did they destroy the whole sound purely intentionally? The finals final blow however was not screwed up – the graph even does not look as the...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy,
Yes, it is what I was thinking: they had many microphones and before the blast they turn some of them on to highlight some sections or instrument but the microphones were too hot and when the blast went off it was ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Andy, I do not think that my system runs “flat” in the way how you understand it. It is with 2db precession flat up to ~10K approximately and then it rolls off quite aggressively. In fact, I very much intentionally try to n...

Not will everyone “get” it, or would agree with it but… where did you see me to care….
Q: What is the worst aspect of sound reproduction?
A: Excessive HF response of playback. A flat response above 5-6kHz is indication...

Having made my last comment based on what I 'heard' via my laptop speakers, I took the clip to the workshop monitors last night to have a further listen - not to examine the weird processing, but to come to a refreshed idea of what kind of sound...

[quote user="Paul S"]Andy, I will say right away that I am not at all set up to "exploit" online music, but this comes across to me as "clean" and "noise free", with some nice spacial effects, basically devoid of harmonics, and not much in...

A very good article on the subject that basically proves my attitude on the subject: it is not about technology but the idiocy of people who use the technology.

I would say that this is probably related to the human emphasis on horizontal differentiation.Much of what we see is influenced by our evolutionary skills of pattern recognition.
