Is there really a big gap between lossless music and normal music? Part 2

LOSSLESS

In many cases, the recording quality of the source is more important than the bit rate.

LOSSLESS

If the recording quality is poor, even distortion-free compression will not provide a good experience. The quality of the recording depends on the performance of the performer/singer, the studio environment, the recording device, the operation of the recording engineer, etc., and this requires good planning and management. Any problem in any link will affect the quality. from the sound source. Among the music files that I have experienced so far, the music files produced by the German DG record club and the Chinese record club are of high quality, and many record clubs have experienced quality problems.

All early recording came from analog methods, and digital recording only became popular in the 1980s. But there are some legendary performances/songs in history that are dead and can only be re-recorded digitally. For example, the AAD sound source, its own sound range data has been lost during performance and recording, and the lossless file storage will be no different than 256k. Personally, I think only DDD audio sources have the value of existence of lossless files. And if there is a problem with the production quality of the music file itself, the higher the fidelity of the music file, the bigger the problem.

In the end, the content of the music is much more important than the format of the music file. The nutrients we get from listening to music are not lost due to differences in music file formats. As we strive for perfection in music, it makes sense to search for the perfect music file for greater expressiveness.

Is there really a big gap between lossless music and normal music?

First set a flag: Can you hear the premise of lossless and ordinary ~ your headphones can make a difference between them?

Let me give you an unprofessional answer: you can hear it, but you can’t hear it. Everything is conditional. Lossless sound recording is nothing more than a sample rate issue. No matter how high the frequency is, you can’t restore the truth~~ This is a recording. Next, let’s talk about the output after the recording is complete ~~~ speakers. Different speakers are like different sizes of the same mobile phone screen with the same dot matrix size. The same video on iPhone 4s and iPhone 8 plus needs to be corrected for its physical resolution. It is impossible to add more details to the screen. Playing very clear video on ip8s will definitely lose a lot of detail on ip4s. In contrast, a video that exceeds the viewing limit is actually the same when displayed on the same device. To say that you can listen to normal and lossless forerunners is that your headphones can make all the difference between them. It is not like this? Not that you can hear it. Many people say that lossless and ordinary can’t tell the difference~~ Ha ha. Because it’s indistinguishable from your device~~ How can you not hear the difference?
