Just wait another 40 years when we can record at 196 bit, not 196 K, and sample rate of 25000000000! You just don't understand people! Mixes would sound so much better if you could put some 250k in them. Granted, the human ear can only hear up to 20k, but the difference is in what 250k does in the subharmonics of 100k, and consequently, what that does to 50k, and then what that does to 20k that makes a huge difference. And your dynamic range is so much better.

Who cares if most people who listen to music will listen in not only 16 bit 44.1 K, but even 320 kbps .mp3?


In other words, I'm not very interested in why yadda yadda is mathematically supposed to sound better, but whether or not it actually does.

Ed, do the experiment. Listen to a song at your highest bit rate, and make an identical mix at 16/44, then make a 320 KBPS .mp3. Then, get "someone else", and that's the important part, "someone else", to cycle between the 3. Do this with 2 different songs. See how often you get it right. Seriously. do this experiment for us. Unless you've already done it. I want someone to tell me face to face that they can do this.
