In an idle moment I tried a MusicIP Mix of a track from Van Der Graaf
Generator’s Live At The Paradiso. The MusicIP mix settings in my
system are quite conservative, so it wasn’t a total surprise when
the next track was from the same album, and the third and fourth tracks
too.
At this point it had obviously hit some sort of limit and reluctantly
shifted to Mars, from Holst’s The Planets, and then something from
Ton Koopman’s Bach Organ Spectacular. After this interlude it was
back to VDGG live before blossoming with a bunch of tracks from King
Crimson, ELP, Yes, The Doors, Mike Oldfield, and quite a few songs from
the HDTracks World’s Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings.
While there are clearly some genre linkages between a number of the
selections, other seemed pretty far apart – more so than generally
results from a MusicIP mix. The penny dropped when I realised that what
every single track had in common was that it is -a 24 bit recording-.
A quick test with other 24 bit tracks confirmed this. Seeding a MusicIP
mix with a 24 bit recording produces a playlist of exclusively 24-bit
tracks. Clearly, MusicIP Mixer sees bit depth as the single most
important criterion by far.
I am reluctant to liberalise the mix parameters lest the mix become too
random. Anyone know of a way to make MusicIP Mixer “bit-depth
blind”?
