And I've also seen blind tests where people claim they can hear a big difference, but when the result comes in they weren't even close. I've seen waaay to many people claiming to hear a difference between X and Y but can't really prove it in any way and at the same time having to technical knowledge whatso ever. So IF it is true then you have to accept the fact that you have way better ears than 99.9999% and what you call a big difference is just subtle to a selected few and can't even be heard by most. Well then either you are one of those very few golden eears or you're really full of shit ) I won't ever know since to me you're just another guy on the internet, but of course it ain't impossible that what you are saying is true, but then you're a one in a million guy because what you are describing is a really hard thing to learn, and also you have to be biologically lucky with your ears as well. Some of us are experts at this stuff and it’s preposterous to be contradicted by people who likely don’t even know the difference between an LA2A and an 1176 kindergarten level conversation. That’s as insulting as denying scientific research because you lack comprehension. Now compare that with the screeching sibilance on lead vocals or the flat lack of separation and low mid buildup through Spotify in a familiar environment on familiar test equipment and, no, the difference is pathologically far from subtle. Not meaning to soft flex, the point is that I could hear the subtleties as a symphony and identify which specific nearly 40 year old reverb he was using by the characteristics of it’s tail alone even through a PA I’d never heard in outdoor conditions I’d never experienced. For example I became friends with Steve Roach when, after a show he performed in front of 100,000 people, a mutual friend introduced us and my comment was that I liked the decay setting on the PCM70 he was using on his percussion mic coupled with the Line 6 Echo Pro. Most people cannot properly hear things like styles of reverb tails but I can like it’s nothing. Now can you tell if it’s a fet or opto compressor done during mixing or if the fast attack and slow release is an amp characteristic ? Unlikely for most people but I can do that with extreme accuracy in a half a second because I have listened that specifically for countless hours of repetition. Can you tell in a split second which pickup they are using? Less easy for a lay person but first grade still. When you have spent tens of thousands of hours microscopically examining and building mixes at an extreme individual track level what is subtle to a lay person is fingernails on a chalkboard times a million.Ĭan you for example tell whether the electric guitar is a Strat or a Les Paul? Easy right. Except it’s not placebo and it is NOT subtle if you are an expert.
