@oligarch452 @Szumpeter @j00ny369T it’s not my fault that you’re not detail-oriented

@Szumpeter @j00ny369T I love David Byrne and this is one of the first things he talks about in his book How Music Works. I think his concept definitely applies to recorded music as well. People write, play and record, consciously or subconsciously, based on the conditions of the listener.

@Szumpeter @j00ny369T I’m not a fan of Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter but I do think it is a quintessential 2024 pop song, and I massively prefer its timbral qualities to early 2000’s pop - less compressed, more dynamic, more room for the mix to breathe in the verses, warmer bass, more saturated vocals

@Szumpeter @j00ny369T You could not pass off a lady gaga or katy perry song from 2008 as current. Mixes have gotten more dynamic because of mastering targets shifting. The tonal quality has gotten bassier and less “harsh” to optimize for the change in playback systems (usually AirPods now)

@DreampiratesMik @BNODesk air travel is far safer than other forms of transit. i don’t know what unpredictability and danger you are talking about

@burntbulb @teebs41 @billymannino So AirPods use lossy compression for bluetooth transmission. 128 kbps, play back audio at 16 bit 48khz.

They sound good. I like my 2nd gen AirPods Pro a lot.

@burntbulb @teebs41 @billymannino there are also lossless uncompressed files (WAV), lossless compressed (FLAC, ALAC) and lossy compressed (AAC, MP3, etc)

even for lossless compressed audio, it would require a bitrate of something like 1400kbps.

[permanent placeholder 🥥🌴 @placepermanent]

@burntbulb @teebs41 @billymannino that is not what a bit rate is, that is bit depth and sample rate

[permanent placeholder 🥥🌴 @placepermanent]

@grimywaifu1025 @billymannino AAC sounds great, but in terms of bitrate LDAC is superior (which is what a lot of the conversation around lossless audio revolves around)

[permanent placeholder 🥥🌴 @placepermanent]

@grimywaifu1025 @billymannino correct. but iPhone does not support LDAC

[permanent placeholder 🥥🌴 @placepermanent]

@teebs41 @billymannino not over any codec that Apple natively supports.

@portabible both
