You're right about the frequencies. Partly. Most people can hear frequencies between 16-17 Hz. Some (particularly young people) can hear between 17-18 Hz. Above that it's just mumbo jumbo audiophile bullshit.

 

 

you're retarded

 

How?

 

Edit: The audiophile mumbo jumbo part is a joke.

audiophiles bother me to no end

too late

classification has already been printed into next year's textbook

I dunno, I think there are parts on HAB where you can hear like mixer channel and DAT distortion. Who knows I guess.

I'll sell you my ICBYD vinyl...

Name your price

ICBYD at 192 sounds perfect to me.....Then again, I can't hear a difference between a wav file and an mp3 at 192...Try it. HERE'S A BOLD STATEMENT: NO ONE CAN. Welcome new member. You'll have to get over the fact that no one here wants to talk about anything. They just wait for the perfect opportunity to say something smart-ass..

 

...

ya it becomes difficult for me at 192, but I think with close scrutiny I could pick it out. I still always go 320 for insurance.

I know that infrasonic frequencies can subconsciously affect the listening experience, but can ultrasonic frequencies also do so?

£2

sold

I would imagine a lot of it is sampled sounds (banging metal gates, percussive hits and sounds from analogue synths etc). Around the time I would say a typical sampler would operate at a 32Khz sample rate which would result in the highest replayable frequency being 16Khz.. so nothing missing just never there in the first place.

ITT: blasphemy.

btw i think i'm possibly some sort of a magnet for aphex twin records as i somehow ended up with an extra copy of the first 12". i gave it to a friend of mine as part of a birthday gift of vinyl doubles (check em).

holy shit! on discogs.com the vinyls range from $35.99 to $99.99 in american currency. i had no idea that this album would end up being even more valuable than the ventolin 2x12", which still stands as my most expensive vinyl purchase at $30 (it was there IRL staring me down and i think i damn near wet myself)

this seems to be the most logical conclusion. and also that pre-1995, none of aphex twin's output was particularly high fidelity

Akai S1000 could do 44.1KHz

I bought the 2x12" for £1.99 each when it came out

IN YOUR FACE FUCKPANTS

i found a stack of 10 ventolin 2x12" rubberbanded together in the dollar bin back in 98 and i grabbed them and was about to pay a dollar for them but instead i just stole them LOL

ha! that's nothing, the other day, i was walking down the street, and some guy in a passing car threw a whole bunch of shrinkwrapped, mint condition copies of the SAWII brown 3xLP at me! i managed to catch most of them, and the ones that got damaged made a great meal!

Warp coloured vinyl sounds like shit :(

lol i wasn't trying to defend the integrity of the album. i don't really give a shit how it was mastered, it's one of his weaker releases imo. just thought you sounded like a pretentious dick so i wanted to call you out on it.

 

Do you still think I'm a pretentious dick?

 

Personally I think you sound like a teenager.

First you better stop waiving it like a feather-duster.

how about the Bleep mastering? It's done from the CD or not?

ANd yeah 26 mixes from cash has some tracks mastered from fucking MP3.

pretty sure it'd be from the CD

except that the Akai S1000 could do 16 bit 44.1KHz sampling, and that was released in 1988, and i would hazard a guess that the S1000 was quite popular amongst music makers

true, except i thought aphex had an affinity for using low bit rates to sample things. I know he used the Sequential Circuits Studio 440 which can sample almost up to 44.1 but has very small memory space. It had an adjustable sampling rate so it would make sense to me that he might have done it to save space or just for purely sonic purposes.

yeah i'd agree with this...even the S900 could do 40KHz sampling. but yeah, space restrictions and all that.

anyway, i was just being a pretentious cunt by saying that his post wasn't wholly accurate

just bought the vinyl from someone on discogs. still sounds pretty lo-fi, but yeah it's definitely better on vinyl imo.

rip the vinyl to flac and pm please
