He has garnered more than 40 platinum and gold certifications from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and has multiple Grammy Awards and nominations.
Blige, Destiny’s Child, the Notorious B.I.G., Sting, Aretha Franklin, and others. “If there’s any discernible difference, it’s so subtle and so slight, you would have to be somebody who’s been in the business for decades like me to hear it,” says Alexander, who as a recording and mixing engineer has worked with clients like Mary J. Slade and Alexander both say they can hear the difference between a high fidelity recording and a non high fidelity recording, but agree that the differences are minute. I spoke with Slade and Alexander, along with Erin Barra and Jonathan Wyner.
“‘Whoa, I thought I was so cool and yet I got a lot of this wrong.’ So that taught me something.” “When I included in a discussion in my online graduate class, everybody had the same reaction,” says Slade. I spoke with four instructors to get their thoughts on high fidelity streaming, its relevance in their lives, and in the lives of average listeners.Īs it turns out, Sean Slade and Prince Charles Alexander have both used the NPR quiz with their music production students and saw similar results. If there were anyone in the world who would be able to tell a high quality recording from a low quality recording and everything between, it would be our music production instructors at Berklee Online. The Berklee Online creative staff scored 48 percent overall. Berklee Online instructors Sean Slade and Prince Charles Alexander have used the quiz in their courses. Our average score as a group of 10 was 48 percent.Īfter the hi-fi streaming service TIDAL launched in 2015, NPR created a music quiz to see if listeners could tell low, medium, and high quality recordings apart. NPR released the quiz that you see below when the lossless music streaming service, TIDAL, launched in 2015, to determine whether listeners could decipher an uncompressed WAV file, from a 320 kbps MP3, from a 128 kbps MP3. Wondering if I was the only one, I sent an audio quality quiz to my Berklee Online coworkers, a pretty musically inclined group, if we do say so ourselves. To my dismay, I could not tell a significant difference between high resolution and the normal resolution sound quality of the streaming services I was used to. I started the free trial and expected to be blown away by the sound quality.
This became apparent when I heard about Amazon Music’s new high fidelity music streaming service. You need an experienced palate to know how to pick up notes of pear and oak in a fine wine just like you need an experienced ear to listen for crisp hi-hats and full-bodied reverb in a song. Audiophiles are like sommeliers of music.
