Two questions to make you mad.


#1 Why is it that the worlds most sophisticated and accurate machine the (ASML) TWINSCAN NXE:3600D doesn’t use special AC or signal cables to make 3nm semiconductors. Audiophiles need special cables for accuracy?

#2 Why is it that you can always tell when a piano is playing live, or even an electric guitar is playing live 2 houses away directly into an amp through walls and windows?

In the 1960s Electro Voice announced that their speakers could reproduce exactly accurate sounds, many believed them.

We are fooling ourselves, our hobby is full of lies and we can’t even face facts.

@mahgister @donavabdear  With my limited understanding in many fields, I think what we perceive as sound is the result of the change in pressure (vibration) created by the speaker and bouncing through our ear canals and ear drums (simplified explanation of our complex ears).  So unless you are physically changing the function of our ears, or possibly creating a hearing aid like device to improve our ears, I don't see how AI will impact how we hear music?  Maybe I'm just showing off my ignorance but.......... 

@bigtwin Your not ignorant at all, your note reminds me of the old saying, "your most important sexual organ is your brain". 

@wolf_garcia I have miked and gone direct, put guitar amps in caskets, put them on stage behind the vocals, put them on the side of stage as the string section, and mixed them with every mic ever made (good old SM 57 works great). But I don't know why there is such a difference between the sound of an amp and the sound of an amp on a recording.

A friend of mine went to an electronics store with Eddie Van Hallen he bought an expensive amp and literally took it apart in the parking lot and threw everything away except for a single tube he wanted.

To perceive a sound as meaningful the brain must interpret it , A.I. will be designed mathematically to interpret it as our brain does, not in the same manner and ways but designed to give results that will fool us...

Music is a meaningful sound which is way more than just linear Fourier acoustic maps because the brain dont work linearly and work in his own time domain but A. I. will emulate it... The problem is human creativity is expressive in an esthetical and spiritual sense , this will be trade for the easier indifferent and neutral creativity of the machine and humans will lose something...

Then we will used by conditioning to gave ourself to the machine...Nothing absolutely bad with that , but we will lose something and we will be in the obligation to compensate for this lost part of the soul in education ..

If not A. I. will cause as in medieval times an immuration of the soul....

I don’t see how AI will impact how we hear music?

@mahgister ....It...'They'....whatever....might mess with the lyrics in some fashion, for one....

"...'scuse me, while I eat this fly..."

Classical fiascos....Rap Country...Alt Choral....the mind would reel, the ears burn....

My friend designs on very sensitive sonar equipment and says that interconnects matter.
