In reading some of the posts regarding the human hearing capabilities, I?ve
had a few thoughts. When a note is played on a piano (or any instrument) you
hear not only the frequency of the note you played, but many frequencies
above and below it that vibrate sympathetically. This phenomenon is known
as the overtone series. It is my belief that there are many freq. that
occur above the normal human hearing range that add tonal characteristics
via sympathetic vibration to the sounds that we are able to hear. I?ve done
no tests really, but in comparing audio at 24 bit/96khz to 24 bit/44.1 I
have found that the 24/96 recordings sounded more ?lifelike?, if that means
anything. It could just be my imagination as I?ve done no blind tests, but
I would say there is a very small noticable difference esp. regarding depth
of the recording.
any thoughts?
