Yes anything can be made trending these days. If you hear a song enough times. I think there is even some science done on that topic.

But I don't think artists like Taylor Swift will be remembered after the money dries up.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned @EvolLove they are going back and pitch correcting everything 😭

EvolLove

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

Are old records being remastered with this technique? Sounds a bit excessive. Some natural imperfections are just what makes it perfect.

@EvolLove @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned yeah pitch correction is done manually when uploading tracks to Spotify and YouTube ect

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

This is an interesting topic. How will the modern technique affect the music industry?

Perhaps it can be helpful for individuals who can not afford a monster production? Put them on more equal footing with big music?

Or is it so that the ones who pay the most to spotify gets to trend? I forgot how it werks these days.

I don't even have Spotify. I tried it when it was "free" and I didn't like it, got bored in a day.

@EvolLove @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned app music is pitch corrected. Everyone sounds the same! Noone loses?

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned

The everyone sounds the same sounds very boring and like the opposite of art.

@EvolLove @Humpleupagus @DrFell @ned @MummaBear I think it remains to be seen. I have pretty broad tastes in music ranging from classical to modern pop and country, jazz, old style blues, don't really like what is passing for blues now, pretty much everything but rap and modern r&b, which is in my opinion almost rap, you've got some music but lyrics are still spoken rather than sang, so I'm fairly open to some new things but I suspect AI will be better at making something popular than making it good, just because popular is something measurable and a computer can tweak for the best measurements and learn from that but good is subjective, something a non-conscious entity is not capable of.
@EvolLove @Humpleupagus @DrFell @nanook thority.social @MummaBear I'm not going to say it never happens but I've never heard a remaster ruined in this manner.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @EvolLove what's that guy he gives loads of examples. Even Freddie Mercury was destroyed

@MummaBear @Humpleupagus @DrFell @EvolLove Not saying it isn's possible only speaking from what I've heard.

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

Wasn't there talk about hertz? 44 hertz compared to something something. It happened after we went from LP to CD and then there was something about the hertz was changed.

But that was not about pitching though.

@EvolLove @Humpleupagus @DrFell @MummaBear With LPs there is no sampling rate, it is analog, thus no heterodyning with sample frequency.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @MummaBear

I know. I didn't mean to say that there was any sampling rates in an lp. But the discussion about the hertz came not long after CD became the new standard.

And then again when we started to save music files on computers and on USB stick.

This has been a re-occurring thing over the last decades. And it started when we went from LP to CD. That is when we went digital.

@EvolLove @Humpleupagus @DrFell @MummaBear Yes, I am explaining WHY the discussion happened after CD became standard, because before that there was no sampling rate, this only happened after CD's, the first digital format, became standard.
@MummaBear @Humpleupagus @DrFell @EvolLove There was no "HZ" when referring to musical sampling rate prior to CD's which came out in the early 80s and then digital audio tape in 1987.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @MummaBear

No one in the in the history of mankind ever referred to HZ in an LP.

We are talking about digital sound here.

Anecdotal and not related. I used to cut audio tape with scissors or scalpel and tape it up again. Because that is how I edited sound in mid 80s. For no good reason other than being bored.

And I remember the DAT player from when it was the new thing. It was fast implemented among journalists. Small and reliable.

@EvolLove @Humpleupagus @DrFell @MummaBear the original encoding though produced this horrid swishing noise in the audio. Later units improved upon this greatly.

@nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell @MummaBear

It did. But I think I only heard and used the first gen. My life took another direction and the next thing I knew it was all CD and then even the CD was outdated.

Well I guess it has become a lot more convenient. I no longer aspire to do anything professional with sound. But I bought a small thing that I can just plug into the USB and it split to different mics and knobs. Easy to use. Very sheep.

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

I have no idea when it started. I just remember that ever since the CD it have been a re occurring topic. Perhaps it was only among musicians?

Some even went back to LP again. Perhaps it was more about pr than sound quality. Something to make U stand out.

When they get a demo on LP with cover and all. And fan service.

@EvolLove @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell 1969 I think the 440 beginner standard. Frequency's are a whole thing regarding the bodies well being

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

That is the one I was thinking about. So it was before the digitalization then.

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

Maybe I will have to get me some old records, if I can hear the difference?

@MummaBear @Humpleupagus @DrFell @EvolLove Yes I agree, he has a very good ear and some great electronics for analyzing music.
@MummaBear @Humpleupagus @DrFell @EvolLove There are also conspiracies claiming the Earth is flat, that we didn't go to the moon, that contrails are chemtrails, you can give them heed or not, your choice.

I think it is pretty safe to say that very few are mistaking contrails for chemtrails.

Contrails dissolve in minutes.
Chemtrails lasts for hours.

Questioning the moon landing might be far out but it is not crazy. Because it is not impossible.

A few people think that the earth is flat and there are no need to make a mixed a list with all the things that people might think. Because there is no connection between those things.

Unless the goal is to silence everyone who dare ask questions.

@EvolLove You're an example of one who mistakes the two, whether contrails dissolve in minutes or hours is a function of the humidity. If the air is saturated, that is at 100% humidity, they will take hours, if it is 0% humidity they won't even be visible, if it is somewhere inbetween they will last sime time inbetween.

@MummaBear @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell

A conspiracy does not have to mean that it is done for some evil purpose. Normal meetings can be specified as such.

It's a known conspiracy theory. Might be true might be false. I have no stake in this so I am fine with it either way.

I just find it interesting. Would I be able to hear the difference?

Is there a difference in quality?

What did we lose what did we gain when we changed it?

Perhaps Ill just ask some professional audio engineer. 😀

@EvolLove @Humpleupagus @DrFell @MummaBear Here is a fun bullshit conspiracy theory on the subject: sensoryland.com/blog1/440hz-vs… You'll note on the end he attributes the effect on people to being that 432 HZ resonates with the Schumann Resonance of 8Hz, never mind that the Schumann resonance is an electromagnetic phenomena having to do with the time it takes an electromagnetic wave to circumnavigate the Earth and thus be in phase with itself and reinforcing when it comes all the way around and NOT an accoustic phenomena, but this detail aside, 432Hz and 440Hz are BOTH even multiples of the Schumann resonance, and thus both harmonics of it, so even if that were a factor it would apply equally to both.
Sensory Land The Battle of Frequencies: Unveiling the Secrets of 432Hz vs 440Hz TuningDiscover the differences and benefits of the music tuning 432hz rather than the standard 440hz
I once gave piano lessons to a girl. She was Jewish. Her parents were there. In the middle of the lesson, I discussed the Father Cleft, the God Cleft, and then proceeded to say that C sits in the middle because Christ is the son. Needless to say, they were less than pleased. 😏

@EvolLove @nanook @Humpleupagus @DrFell I'm still researching frequently impacts the body.... It's super interesting. The earth frequency is 432 👌

@MummaBear @Humpleupagus @DrFell @EvolLove I don't know what an "Earth" frequency is. What aspect of the Earth is tuned to, resonates with, emits, or specifically absorbs 432 Hz?
@MummaBear @Humpleupagus @DrFell @EvolLove We're talking about something entirely different, you're talking about the musical pitch standard, currently A is 440Hz, earlier in history it was 432Hz. We're talking about the sample rate used to encode analog music into digital format.
