Scott, from what I've heard being a single man, I'd like to sample taylor swift!
But yes, music doesn't sound the same in it's extremely pure form now. Black sabith live tonight here in Dunedin, one of the heaviest bands out and their playing in my town, I'm getting all excited. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Saturday, 30 April 2016 1:10 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone 7 specs confirmed from a leaked schematic, includes 2 cameras and no iPhone jack So that’s the deal Simon, I think you’ve nailed it. We’ve sold our musical souls for the hell that is convenience.:) (ok maybe a bit hyperbolic) But you are on to something. Sure, it’s great to carry around a million songs in my device or have the entire catalog of the output of the human race available over the network via stream but if they all sound like you know what on a shingle then what’s the point? :) Again, I think it’s sort of in the same category as the headphone jack. People just don’t care. They don’t listen close enough to care. Of course some do but I’m speaking in generalities here. The mass market doesn’t care if their Taylor Swift is sampled at 44.1, 48 or 96 KHZ and lossless compressed or lossy squeezed until the life is left lying on the floor. Popular music was weaponized in the 60S and 70S. The CIA and UK intelligence agencies formed an institute that studied the effects of media, especially music and how to generate mass market products that influence the populations and “dumb them down”. Part of that effort is the total artificialization of the content. I personally played a part unfortunately in this progression with some of my work early on in my career in teaching computers to reconstruct human voices to make them more appealing to the ear. People just don’t hear a difference from Taylor Swift’s 4 chord mind numbing progression to One Direction’s 4 chord mind numbing progression. It’s all generated by the same software. The very few of us who still like to listen to Miles Davis or Andre Watts or Willy Nelson or fill in your real musician here don’t matter. It was a real eye or is it ear opener for me the other day when I tried to listen to a pianist execute a real performance instead of Nicole Scherzinger undressing on my iPhone while the computer sings for her and it shocked the hell out of me. I remember something my professor told me in college when he and I were having an argument over digital audio verses analog and being a young whippersnapper I was on the digital side. He said “digital music is to formaldehyde as to what analog music is to a frog. A frog perfectly preserved in formaldehyde will last for ever and always look like a frog but it’s not alive and as such it’s no longer a real frog.” He was right. I don’t want my frogs to be close digital approximations.:) > On Apr 29, 2016, at 4:53 AM, Simon Fogarty <si...@blinky-net.com> wrote: > > Remember folks that it's not apple setting the standards for digital music. > > I have to agree though that I'm starting to find music to perfect and > clair, I remember when a 33 &1/3 rpm vinyl was around and the hiss and > crackle of the stylus on the vinyl surface was what really added to the sound. > > It's amazing how much clairer vinyl has become in the way of sound > quality > > But I still find mp3 the most convenient > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott > Sent: Friday, 29 April 2016 2:34 AM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: iPhone 7 specs confirmed from a leaked schematic, > includes 2 cameras and no iPhone jack > > I’m not sure what you mean, voiceover and bluetooth don’t act particularly > badly at least not in my environment.
