The only exception might be if you are streaming in aptX lossless, though that's rare. My phone to Denon AVR can only do AAC 44.1 kHz. The source files are 24 bit, 96 kHz lossless.

The dynamics have become highly compressed, frequency response truncated, and it sounds like I'm listening through an FM radio through a heavy blanket. My original recording is quite faithful to the live sound, but this is just awful. No thank you.

PSA: Do not EVER judge the audio quality of a recording if you are listening to it via any sort of Bluetooth wireless streaming.

I was just listening to my most recent concert recording I finished working on this weekend streamed from my phone to my living room stereo while I was doing some work, and it sounds like absolute dog shit compared to what's really on the recording that I hear direct from my workstation to my studio monitors or proper headphones.

Just finished The Fall of the House of Usher. As a lifelong Poe fan I absolutely loved this. Fair warning, it's extremely graphic at times, like Hannibal Lecter graphic. But the way they adapted Poe's stories was very clever, and the quality of acting and production was top notch. Highly recommended.

On my way to conduct.

@Alfred Spell a French Augmented Sixth chord in the key of D Minor.

@Alfred How much recording time could a 1 GB WAV file hold if contains 8 channels of 24 bit, 96 kHz data?

@Alfred What would be the file size of an eight channel .WAV file at a bit depth of 24 bits and a sampling rate of 96 kHz, lasting 1 hour in length?

@Alfred What real-world figures were Beren and Lúthien based on?

@Alfred how many rings did Sauron forge?

@Alfred What is the last known locations of the three Silmarils?

Had one of these last night, and it tastes like what they say it does. Delicious.

Perfect pairing with Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Tonight I'll do that with a Mad Elf.

Sparrows is never getting a dime from me ever again. After you watch the video, read the description because it gets even better. I mean worse.

I think you and your clients might be interested in this.

^ Before listening, make sure you scroll to the bottom, open Audio Options, and enable Lossless Audio. Paid tiers allow you to have this enabled by default for your recipients.

Also, if anyone's really into this stuff: files 04a and 04b are my own edits of the DPA originals. I was attempting to get the 4060 omni lavs to sound as close as possible to the flagship-tier 4006 omnis using manual EQ curves and also using iZotope RX EQ Match.

None of this is available on the DPA website anymore.

📢 Calling all #cosomusicians and #musicproduction people!!!

I have just been referred to the greatest website ever for sharing recordings with clients/collaborators. It supports lossless file playback, multiple file versioning, commenting, etc. Even the free version includes 25 GB space and is feature packed.

You need this now!

Here's a share of stereo recording samples using different microphones and arrays from the old DPA website:

Back from a full overhaul at the mothership. The old girl cleans up real nice.

PSA: Truncating the displayed URL of links can hide the fact that they may be direct file download links. Phones don't have a hover functionality so you may find yourself downloading a file you didn't intend to. This just happened to me a few minutes ago.

^ FTR, I didn't give a spoiler warning because the song is such a poor fit for what's happening on screen that I'm not giving anything away by talking about it.

I just finished watching 'Echo' on Disney. I thought it was great, far better than most of the other recent MCU series or movies. But only five episodes? This is an example of one of the issues that led to the WGA strike.

Those five episodes were pretty solid, though. The only sour note was using the song Down to the River to Pray. Did they think people would forget it's about Christian baptism, and from a region of the US very far geographically and culturally from where the show takes place?
