What exactly is critical listening? Who does it?
I'm supposed to listen to every single instrument within a mixture of instruments. And somehow evaluate every aspect of what I'm listening to and somehow all this is critical listening.
This is supposed to bring enjoyment?
I'm just listening for the Quality of what I'm listening to with all the instruments playing and how good they sound hopefully.
And I'm tired of answering that I'm not a robot all the time. That's being critical.
The MORE effective critical listening must happen in more understanding of audio sounds because our ears trick us. All audio systems (incl. million $ systems) sound/behave veiled & distorted like speakers below. Listen to spkr sounds. Not Jay’s voice. Your audio system sounds like the left speaker Alex/Wavetouch audio |
If a system is utterly musical and pleasing to my ears, I don’t think how it sounds. We keep thinking about its sound (critical listening) because the system is not musical and unpleasant to our ears and it became an object. Can you think about how it sound when you listen below music which, I think, is more musical than the original music? Alex/Wavetouch audio |
