Not sure what this thread is supposed to be. No question. No answer.
Me neither, but there have been plenty of both!
Don't matter. I can relate with visual info. I do video and photo work. Try to get colors "best" even if i enhance light and color manually or digitally. My daughter is totally blind. She could care less about how hard i work at perfecting a project. My son-in-law is color blind, everything is hues of brown. Not my go to critic. Everybody else just looks for a pretty picture. No surveys or test needed.
"Don't matter" seems to be pretty much what it is. I'm really in the "looking for a pretty picture" camp myself. Oddly, that's what makes this all make sense to me.
Visual info? Indeed. Remember the track I mentioned, the one I sent to my friend? I just took the time to compare some files, and what do you know, looking at the spectrum, the compressed file I sent him has MORE high end, more REALLY high end than the original, lossless mixdown. Turns out I had in the process resampled it up to 48 kHz and who knows why the encoder did what it did but there you have it: there's clear signal at and even above 20 kHz, and the peaks at 20k are significantly louder in the compressed file. How about that. That could explain how he might hear it differently. I'm most impressed by how those mic's are actually able to pick up stuff well above 20kHz though. That's something for me to remember: low-pass it next time!
