[lbo-talk] More recording questions

[Arthur Maisel]

Lol. I don't think it's physical hearing damage, undoubtedly more prevalent
than people realize though it is---never mind metaphysical!---as much as
the fact that people are *used* to bad reproduction of music (TVs, car
radios, boom boxes, music playing in stores), and yes, mp3s.

@Gar My guess is that mp3s contribute less to the bad quality of most
recordings than cheap microphones badly placed. (Think the difference
between a book and a xerox of same to get some sense of what's being
discussed by those like Joel and me who can hear the difference.) With
speech, the quality of the recording is secondary, as long as you can
understand the words without strain.
