Do Audio Converters Make A Difference - Fallacies In Audio Quality and Recording - Studio Laima

https://www.studiolaima.com Call 321-536-2067 Empirical findings from testing is very important to me. To be honest, what’s more important, is what does it sound like. I will use an example of one of my heroes, Rupert Neve who shared an example within a lecture of creating a preamp with pristine specs that took years to create, only to find out it didn’t sound as good as his other creations with less performing specs. This means you could have under performing equipment measured against a spec sheet that sounds better. The word better is a subjective word. Rupert Neve standard was, does the equipment reproduce the sound and the environment the sound source is in. Let’s steal man the statement: You can’t hear a difference between converters, software or even sample rates. If you can’t hear a difference, save your money and purchase “cost effective” equipment, software and use 48K sample rates. This statement is true, there will not be a difference in audio if you can’t hear the difference. You won’t find what you are not looking for. It’s possible the music you’re listening to doesn’t allow for you to hear a difference based on how the music was recorded and the genre of music. Ex music with no dynamics, music intended to be low fi. If the style of music and the way it was recorded doesn’t leave room for nuances that would normally be heard with well-engineered converters, that are able to record in high-resolution, it will be impossible to hear a difference. Even the highest detailed converters won’t help here. Why, there is no detail to convert. This is why we have to use our ears. One thing is for sure we do not listen to audio gear with single test tone alone to prove sound quality. We don’t listen to white noise the same way to confirm the audio quality based on what we hear as benchmark. No, we listen to music. Music is not a test tone. Music is not a cacophony of white noise. Music is a wonderfully complex combination of tones, timbers, percussive hits, transients, harmonic overtones, reverberations, delayed reflections, dynamic ranges with infinite variation and combination all with unique intensity based on style, performance, tempo, spectral rolloff, time-based energy ramping and decay. Remember that it’s not just the instrument and its source making music, the space the music is played in is also a major contributor. I don’t see a lot of tests accurately measuring all of these details all at the same time. We underestimate the complexity of what music is and the ability of human hearing and sensitivity to perceive it. It’s not magic, it’s not unattainium, it’s not unicorn droppings, it’s not placebo effect. I believe the differences that we hear in comparison to a spec sheet, is based on elements overlooked or discounted in measuring. Is it possible that were missing a compounding measurement somewhere? The common response usually given by the person who can’t hear a difference looking at a spec sheet will say it’s placebo or you are hearing something that is not there. What if it is not placebo effect? Ear training is a skill. Experience in listening is something that happens over years. Both of these things take time. There are things that I was oblivious to when listening just five years ago compared to now, because I didn’t know what to listen for. My company has been involved with video production since the early 90s. The popular fallacy back then was 640x480 video resolution was more than enough for the human eye to see. A common TV for home use at this point is at a resolution of 8K. Thank goodness somebody challenged the fallacy to allow for curiosity, discovery and innovation. That example deals with the perception of eyesight. Human Hearing is capable of high-resolution perception. Away from recorded music, we hear high fidelity in nature every day. Music is just a wonderful organized extension of physics and nature. As much as we try in music technology today, we can’t get around the laws of physics when it comes to audio. Music experienced is wave energy. Music is a moving target, it is highly complex, especially if were attempting to capture music in its entirety. In its entirety is the key phrase whether single instruments are playing or multiple instruments combined.
