dude
u know what would be a pretty sick experiment at like a sound museum or something
so
u know how like mp3s, especially lower quality ones, are compressed
Cade
yeah
me
so ur not hearing the full frequency range of say, someones voice
Cade
did you listen to that NPR thing?
me
yeah reading it now
Cade
you should just listen to it
lol
they do sound tests
me
but as u get to higher bitrates, and eventually wav, and the FLAC, and then lossless
Cade
yea
me
you like erally begin to approach the full spectrum of his voice
and its almost like you dont NOTICE until you do
Cade
mhmm
me
you dont notice what was missing
Cade
yea
exactly
me
well whats the ultimate exaggeration of that?
real life, right?
Cade
haha
me
like hearing someone talk
like when you just hear me talk
you're hearing the full range of my voice
what if we could make it such that
we went into a room
and somehow were able to compress the frequencies of sound that could travel in the room
so we were like sitting across a table talking to each other
but the sound quality coming out of our mouths was SEEMINGLY compressed to like 128 kb/s
it would be SUPER weird i think
and would really awaken you to how shitty music compression is
it might be the best way to realize that i think
because we're so used to hearing each other in prefect analogue
