glens Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A couple days ago I wound up at http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html via perusal of the audacity manual. I wanted to post a thread about it here but first did a search of the forum which brought me to this thread, so I'm bumping it so that others can hopefully enjoy it as much as I did. I have not yet watched the video linked to in the last original post to this thread. I would, however highly encourage everyone to watch https://www.xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml right off the bat. Usually instead of watching a video in a web page page I'll fetch it and watch it in an external player with which I can speed it up, but this one is worth the full amount of time it takes at 1x speed.

I don’t buy that analogy! Sound waves are nothing like light waves. ... In regard to that comment, I believe it's fair to say the author wasn't equating them in any way other than in drawing a comparison (similarity) between the way our "equipment" processes data both within and without its limitations (or something to that effect). I recall he addressed it in some fashion in an addendum or footnote. At any rate, I thought the subject very interesting, the presentation quite informative, and overall that it's directly pertinent to some other recent discussion on the forum which I've noted. Oh, one must-follow link in the page is http://www.bostonaudiosociety.org/bas_speaker/abx_testing2.htm which is a recounting of an A/B/X test performed back in '84, also currently pertinent elsewhere here!

Rivernuggets Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Wow, crazy thread revival of almost 6 years. Reading along, then I see Daddy Dee's post and just for a second I thought I was dreaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
