Default The Gadget Show

I was listening to a bit of a naff sounding mp 3 of some guitar music the
other day when a friend said how realistic it sounded. I said he must have
some strange guitars round his place as the phase problems of mp3 were all
too obvious in the rythmic swizzling and change in tone etc. I think it was
48kbits or something like that.

I really cannot listen to internet stations like Wave as these effects are
so headache inducing.
Some of the win media 64kbit streams are passable, but not great.

Caught the end of it where they were comparing MP3 CD and LP. Same
piece of music. Comment about vinyl was analogue must sound better than
digital as it contains all the information rather than just samples.
Wonder what their sound recordist thought about that. ;-)


Do sound recordists normally know about and understand the Sampling
Theorem, etc? Clearly it isn't part of the education for programme
presenters. :-)


They both sort of agreed the MP3 sounded best..


Less is more, eh? :-)

Slainte,
