| ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS? I know that I’m an audiophile and am overly sensitive by nature. What I’ve perceived from this forum suggests the OP’s point may have merit. I’ve never really spent time with audiophiles in the person-to-person/physical realm, I’ve just seen h... | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Not really. Perhaps the best metric is goosebumps and/or tears. An involuntary human reaction that is actually measurable and even manifests in a physical response. Hard to beat as a “metric,” I’d say. If I had to guess, I’d say Stevie Wonder has ... | |
| Female vocals I think at some point, someone said that a female vocal was a good source in “testing” the fidelity of an audio system, and it stuck. There seems to be now some weird subculture with audio nerds where vocals by a female are weirdly fetishized. ... | |
| In preparation of Halloween.... Playlist (in no particular order, could probably just go random/repeat): ”The Murder” - Bernard Herrmann (famous ‘REE!! REE!! REE!!’ piece from Psycho) “Black Sabbath” - Black Sabbath “Theme from Jaws (Main Title)” - John Williams “Bela Lugosi’s... | |
| Why is so much music recorded out of key? Lots of things may happen when music is committed to recording, not least of which is that the players were not tuned to a perfect 440 or whatever to begin with. There’s no such thing as being “off key,” only “off pitch” which refers to an instrum... | |
| Robbie Robertson: "Killers Of The Flower Moon" Soundtrack Can’t wait to see this film. I’m so grateful that we are still able to go to a theater and see Scorsese/De Niro/Leo on the big screen with a big budget. Marty’s old friend Robby providing the score one last time adds another layer. His down-... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? I see a personal preference. What one likes is what one likes. It’s not going to be the same with every person. “Accuracy,” within the context of this, is a dubious definition to begin with. Accurate…how? Unless we were in the studio at the ... | |
| The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings @johnnycamp5 I think Bublé’s actual voice just sounds like it’s been run though digital pitch correction software 😆 He might use it as well, which just compounds it. | |
| The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings @wolf_garcia Just because you never heard someone use the word, “pitch-y” until you watched American Idol does it mean that some panelists on some 21st century Fox confection invented that term. | |
| Seller Unresponsive after payment. I had a Discogs seller who sent me the wrong thing after letting a week elapse after payment to even ship the CD. It was the holiday season, so I had some grace for the fact that my CD actually arrived 1 month after payment, but was not impresse... | |
| The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings @stuartk May I ask what you mean when you say, “…contemporary pop…is heavily processed…” ? | |
| The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings @frogman Here is a result of a 5-second use of the Google search engine: Definitions from Oxford Languages. adjective: pompous - affectedly and irritatingly grand, solemn, or self-important. I consider someone introducing themself to a conversa... | |
| The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings @frogman I thought the conversation was cruising at a very reasonable altitude. People having a civil conversation. If I may ask, how did this conversation, in your mind, necessitate being “brought back down to earth?” “A reality check, if you ... | |
| The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings @hilde45 I think we should be clear about language. The validity of a person’s feelings is unassailable. Feelings just…are. The validity to this hypothetical statement, “this is me singing musical tones (‘notes,’ i.e. Gb, F, C#, etc.)” is ind... | |
| Hiatus A toughie, for sure. One decides, “I want to improve the way my music sounds.” Fair. The processes then undertaken to achieve the desired result in this fair endeavor often cause one to be inordinately concerned with minutiae instead of enjo... |
