Hi folks,

This may have been posted a few years back, but now that we have a dedicated forum for general production discussion, I thought it might be time for a re-post for those who haven't seen it.

It's about an hour long, but I feel this video is worth a watch (or re-watch) if you work with audio. They go into detail about the limits of human hearing and how the brain processes audio information (including how it can be tricked), and dispel a lot of myths that surround high-end (expensive) audio equipment and super-high resolution audio files.

He also wrote a short related article back in '98, it's short and worth checking out:

And if you want a great example of "audiophile"-marketed nonsense, these guys are always good for a laugh.. though I'm not sure if it's satire or not:
