Greetings all,
I've been lurking on these forums for about the last year, and I finally signed up today to pick the brains of some of the more knowledgeable individuals here. On Saturday, I'm giving an 8 minute informative speech on the essential elements of digital audio (PCM to be exact, leaving DSD out given the time limit), why it was a logical progression from analog recording and storage technology, and a brief sketch of lossy/lossless implementations of it. My primary objective at this point is to get a rock solid source, stating that (and why) any sampling rate is able to capture a given bandlimited source with perfect time resolution (ignoring frequency response and filtering in this case, dealing only with time). I was encouraged to touch upon this point in particular because of a presentation I found on YouTube a few months back, whose essential message was "Digital is bad because you hear the music as packets rather than as an analog waveform" and was advocating that everyone dispense with their digital media and go get a turntable and vinyls. My intent is to disprove the "packets" notion, and this source is the closest I have seen to doing that as of now: http://www.tonmeister.ca/main/textbook/node639.html If anyone could supply further documentation (or their own findings/conclusions on the matter), that would be most appreciated. Thanks! |

Wow, you guys are quick on the draw! Thoroughly appreciate the swift replies, the library is actually less than a 2 mile walk from me and it's gorgeous out today so that's a great idea.
Thanks for the link, benski. Reading through it presently. -------------------- FLAC -2 w/ lossyWAV 1.3.0i -q X -i
