I've been thinking about writing a piece about how what we like to listen to isn't actually "natural" or "accurate" in a lot of cases. For example, a Sure SM58 does not faithfully reproduce the human voice, but when it comes to live performance they sound "right"; they meet our expectations. -- DJ Dual Core's Blog http://oldmixtapes.blogspot.com/ Order without government; Peace without violence. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
