Rja (OP) - Sara Jarosz is in a feature story on NPR Music with links to two tracks from her new album released this month. Here's that link. 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Listening to music this afternoon this song, a recent favorite came up in random shuffle. Listening to the lyrics I said to myself, this is at the core of what moves me about music. It is why when I consider the question, "Does accuracy matter?" (... 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Onhwy61 - agreed, it's difficult to put a finger on exactly what one is being "accurate" to. If some notion of "accuracy" is what you enjoy, then have at it. Ultimately it's the enjoyment of music that is much more to the point of why I do this. C...

More cowbell! 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Rodman - you evidently did not read all of my posts, or not very carefully. I stated repeatedly that the only ones that it would occur to me that "accuracy" necessarily mattered to were the recording engineers and the sound professionals responsib... 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Cdc - thanks for your kind words. I was thinking more about the writer as artist metaphor. There is a case where we have 100% accuracy in reproducing the artist's expression. Word for word the original text in the original language is verbatim and... 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Jax2, while reference to a painter/sculptor is valid from the standpoint that it may be equally difficult to determine artist intent, I don't think that how you use that reference deals with what the core issue is re accuracy. The visual equivalen... 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Looking at visual arts may be a useful comparison as music can be considered an auditory art. I don't believe there are competitions for who can paint the most accurate painting. Super accurate paintings aren't necessarily worth more than design r...

Jax2, I refer you to Knownothing's post.Ah, thanks for that clarification. My bad - I missed that. 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Without getting into the semantics of accuracy vs. precision, for those that think measurements and accuracy are unimportant, they better hope someone else is, or they won't be able to replace their systems. Accuracy and specs give us a baseline f... 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Frogman - I look at a work by an artist that really moves me...Joseph Cornell for instance...Seeing his work moves and inspires me. It stirs thoughts and emotions and takes my mind to places I hadn't known existed before seeing it. Yet I am not at...

Contact a mastering studio and arrange to attend an actual mastering session. Listen to the final mix. Purchase a copy of the recording. Does the recording played back in your room on your system sound like the recording when played in the masteri... 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
From Wikipedia:"In the fields of science, engineering, industry and statistics, the accuracy of a measurement system is the degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to its actual (true) value.If this were a pro-audio forum where there was... 
Archiving CDs to HD...suggestions?
A few important notes on format:I'd strongly discourage you from using WAV files for lack of metadata support which will make your life living hell if you ever have to move files around, share files, or restore from a backup. Just don't do it.If y...
