Outstanding article!

While sorting through the information regarding digital audio, recording, and production, it is becoming clear that much of what is presented as "audiophile" or "professional" level software is nothing more than hype.

I've listened to the results of high bit-depth/sampling rate audio tools, and cannot hear the improvement over basic 16/44.1 files. Even the higher bit-depth variable-bit-rate MP3s and Ogg Vorbis compressed files sound as good (to me) as those big 24/96 and 24/192 files produced on expensive DAWs.

It is interesting how, when I mention this to the folks who promote the NEWEST and BIGGEST audio software tools, they tactfully suggest I may need to improve my listening skills, or have my hearing tested...


just looking for clues...
