MP3s and Your Lost Sound [Part 2]
This fall, students and their families kicked off Parents Weekend on October 22nd, 2010 with Synapse's second Speaker Series event, "MP3s and Your Lost Sound," featuring an interactive presentation by Ross Maddox. Ross is a Ph.D. student in [...]biomedical engineering and an auditory researcher here at Boston University. He demonstrated how large audio files are compressed into MP3s to reduce the size of the data, which degrades the fidelity of the music. Ross further explained the variations present in different forms of digital music, and then encouraged people to hear it for themselves by listening to various genres on sounds stations scattered throughout the store. All the files were at different compression levels, or different bit rates, to show listeners a recognizable difference in sound quality. The attendants were left with the ability to detect different levels of compression in their digital music.
