One time I was explaining to @MKBHD that WAV file size is dependent on length and not content (bc of constant bit rate) and he responded “Wait…so an hour of silence is the same size as an hour of dubstep?” And I still think about that every day.

Sound designing for the @MKBHD brand is tough, you have to combine the stark purity of modern tech with Marques's creative warmth. It helps when you have @b_hvrd for stellar creative direction. Very proud to finally share this work <3

@TomGroebe @MKBHD If you export multiple wav files of the exact length down to the sample, they will generally be the exact same size. There are always exceptions to the rule, but in general this is the case

I might regret this take but does anyone else think dedicated AI hardware assistants are going to be the 3D TV's of 2024? Why wouldn't you just use your phone, especially when Google Assistant and Siri inevitably get updated to support better natural language processing

Just tried Apple Music for the first time in like 2 years, and the audio quality is MILES better than Spotify. I’m listening to it using CarPlay and the audio is MUCH louder than on Spotify, and the bass is insane. It sounds like I just gained two 12” subwoofers. I didn’t even

For those curious, we can do a little explainer. Let’s assume he pays for Apple Music Lossless, and connected to CarPlay via USB so he was actually getting lossless audio through his system instead of Spotify’s lossy compression. (1/x)

There is an error in this thread. Scooping out the mids makes things sound louder and more “cinematic”, without actually changing the volume. My bad!

energy, you can get more clarity and less distortion in lower levels. This means quieter sounds like reverb tails will sound more vibrant, like how in a picture with a higher bit depth your shadows will have less noise. (3/x)

So maybe it’s not the lossless-ness that makes things sound better? Maybe it’s Apple’s superior compression? Let’s ignore the bitrate wars for a second. You can’t fake bass. You just can’t. So lossy compression doesn’t try and remove it. But you gotta lose something! (4/x)

You know what you can lose though? Extreme highs. Most adults can’t hear them anyway, and most speakers aren’t fast enough to recreate them without distortion, so who cares if there’s a little distortion at 18k? Not most people. (5/x)

So why then did he say he heard more bass? Here’s my guess. Our ears do not hear all frequencies equally at all volumes. The louder a sound is, the more our ears perceive the extreme highs and extreme lows. That’s why scooping out some mid frequencies makes (6/x)

feeling happy, things sound good. If not, they sound bad. This is why audio pros go through so much effort to make sure things actually sound better, instead of just sounding better to them. (8/x)

I also need to add, that sound is the most subjective of our senses (maybe other than taste? I’m not a chef). Our ears’ eq changes throughout the day to compensate for what we’ve been hearing. Our ears are also really influenced by our feelings! If we’re (7/x)

After waking up I found another thing that’s sorta misleading. Bit Depth is actually what creates more resolution at lower volumes, not the lossless compression scheme, it just so happens that lossless streams usually have higher bit depth.
