This has me thinking about what music means to people today - seems to be
more of a commodity than a communication between two or more living beings
All the digital formats remove parts of the sound spectrum and change the
sound of the music - some may say it's crisper but the human ear isn't
designed for it
I would propose that we don't react the same way, on a physical level, to
digital vs analogue sound. Our ears are designed by nature to take in all
of the sound in the environment - ambient and active.
What I don't understand is why people want to have less compression on
their formats but still think that digital is the wave of the future. If
you want less compression then just use analogue sound sources.
That to me is saying that analogue is the best because it's the closest
recording to actually being there but we're going to cut out more of the
spectrum because it's the way forward.
Digital is convenient for producing music but it's no where near analogue
for reproduction. It never will be. Why are we allowing ourselves to be
led by the Pied Piper of the established music industry toward more music
as commodity?
