bearchuck Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Watch this video. There's some seriously fascinating stuff. If you're at all interested in the topic of "good" audio or the process how music is made, the open-minded dialogue, wide range of opinions and experience / insight of the panelists is riveting. Full disclosure - I've only made it through the first 50 minutes. I got tired last night and had to go to bed, but I plan on finishing as soon as possible.

David The Gnome Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm about 75 minutes in and this really is fascinating to me. I do have a bit of a sound engineering background and a strong appreciation for the process that the creation that a song/album goes through from an idea and words and notes to the end result but I really feel like if you can sit through this and really take it in, you will truly be better off for it. These guys might come off a bit snobbish but dammit do they know what they are talking about. One of the topics that has been addressed that really hits home to me is how music is taken in today. It really is a shame that most of the listening of music today does come in such a setting that doesn't allow for a strong emotional and deep connection to be made to the actual music. That's just the state of society today though. We've got full days everyday and lots to do; it's great that we can go through our days with our music. Getting back to the idea of having a connection with the music.. I feel that lyrics can have a strong effect on you regardless of the quality of the audio or the setting, to a degree, that it's taken in at but I feel that the music really needs to be taken in in a way that you can kind of eliminate as many of the other senses as possible to fully appreciate and have the music truly speak to you. I know, for me.. lights off, minimal possible distractions, quality headphones, eyes closed and being relatively still really sets me up for a really enriching, personal experience with the music. They go on to talk about a few other topics in some depth, and its really great to hear all of their separate views on each of them, but this is what I felt compelled to write while continuing to listen. Regardless of my opinion on any of this, thanks again for making it available on VC with this thread. Edit: Yeah, made it through its entirety. Very awesome. Definitely recommend it when you've got the time to actually pay attention to it. thefinalsound and firefoxUSSR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefinalsound Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Well that was just fascinating. I would love to hear more along the same lines. Anyone have any leads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I finished watching this last night on the plane. Super interesting. I really wish they would have talked more about the loudness war that's going on. This could have been a "weekend" as they said and would have been awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
