Danny's ASR "Will you ACCEPT my Challenge?!"

[ObjectiveSubjectivist]

What it supposed to prove?
I'm the one missing something here?
I mean even in the audiophiles realm it's extremely bizarre and pointless.

Reminds me of C.M.O.T Dibbler:

 

[Blumlein 88]

That he’s a disingenuous little shit with a dirty T-shirt.

Anyway, did anyone already put those files though Deltawave?

Yes.

 

[DanielT]

But what is the purpose? To listen in track B & C for small sounds/noise (a chair that squeaks when Danny moves perhaps) when he records with his microphone?
To count the sounds/noise that are not on the recording in track A but those that Danny adds when he plays into his room?

Trying to figure out how much Danny's recording in the room distorts, colors sample A?

Exactly without any background it's pointless. (With background explanation it probably would be also nonsense)

 

[voodooless]

Yes.

And?

 

[abdo123]

Not just that.....


On my decent system that I CAN play youtube on easily, it still sounds like crap.

A microphone recording of a room playing a system NEVER sounds good, no matter what the mics or playback devices.
The very act of recording a system playing in a room, instantly kills ANY sound it did have.

i think binaural recordings sound quite nice actually.

 

[Thomas_A]

At least he should go for binaural recordings - this is complete waste of time. Better he focus more on washing his clothes.

Indeed. I was going to ask "have you met Jana and Alfredo?"

Sadly a limited series. On the plus side, no laundry issues. I haven't listened to Danny, not really planning to, even with eyes closed.

 

[Blumlein 88]

And?

Some small FR differences at the high and low end.

 

[DanielT]

Exactly without any background it's pointless. (With background explanation it probably would be also nonsense)

In any case, just as an example, track B 0:12-018 noise that is not heard track C. Track C a crack, noise at 0:03 that is not in track B. More than that, I can't bear to listen and act as noise detective.

A very strange exercise that Danny invites us to. Pretty pointless.

It is indeed, that's why it is not senseful to compete in this challenge.
The sharpest form of criticism is the igorance.

Its mostly about the "feel" of the guitar, which affects the way you play which affects the way it sounds.

Fret Sizes and Materials: How They Affect Your Guitar’s Playability

In this article, we take a look at how fret sizes, fret dimensions, and fret materials affect for your guitar’s playability.

Its a block of wood with strings attached, lots of things make an audible difference. One of the big ones is the person playing it.

That's interesting, thanks.

Anyone who knows me professionally knows what I'm thinking right now...

[Liya]

Then again, it's Bon Jovi.

Yeah, I know.. not really music

The problem is to use correct curve for listening in headphones. Bass is usually not correctly reproduced. Below a recording from my space (using my own head).

Some small FR differences at the high and low end.

Between 1kHz and 6kHz there seem to be (narrow band) differences of +/-8dB here and there.
Also seen in the spectra.

Most likely caused by:
Mic being in a somewhat different position or room effects like someone standing in the room in a different position altering reflections.

Not likely caused by: speaker cables, power cables, different amps, very different speakers.

Pointless exercise which, judging from the YT comments, many people fell for....
Danny wins.... because he gets the attention, haters still hate, believers love the man even more now.

 

[Blumlein 88]

Spectrograms of file A,B, and C,

 

[solderdude]

What's with the 20kHz tone only present in 'C' ?

Maybe a different speaker cable that makes the amp oscillate and is triggered by highest treble or is mirrord ?
Could be the reason there suddenly appears to be 'signal' above the source frequency limit.

Those aren't exactly small differences
