Without even reading the article I already know that it's extremely hard that hearing the difference between 16/44.1 and 24/192 indeed is really hard if not impossible.
I only use higher bitrates when creating music so when I mix or record I don't need to make the levels go almost into red to get a hot enough signal, I can do all kinds of changes like slowing down or up, distortion, EQ, compression without losing any perceived detail in the end. If I record on 16 / 44.1 then start manipulating the sound I start losing detail immediately.
But in the end more than 20 / 88.1 won't do much for you. 16 / 44.1 might be a bit less than ideal for music with a lot of dynamics but it's absolutely fine for most purposes.
- anyfoo 9y agoNo, not "really hard if not impossible", it is impossible. The article itself cites that no one has ever been observed to be able to do so.
- dep_b 9y agoMore than 44 is useful for tempo matching while mixing
- anyfoo 9y agoYes, the article also mentions how 24/192 can be useful for production and editing.
- ehsankia 9y agoYeah, when you leave the possibility open, everyone wants to believe they are that special one with amazing ears that can tell the difference where no one else can, but it's always placebo.
