about analog audio, which is a shame." -Nils Frahm

How Our Brains Process Music

Andrew Scheps: "Lost in Translation: Audio Quality in Streaming
There is information missing from digital audio.
How do our brains handle that?
In order for our brains to recreate a digitized sound, our brains "fill in the blanks".
It is important to note that digital waveforms are "slices" of an original sound or waveform, this is what creates the square wave. These "slices" are referred to as the sample rate. A CD will have a sample rate of 44100hz or 44100 "slices" per second of audio. In digital photography, you could compare this to resolution.

Dr. Diamond explains, digital audio affects our life force.
Human Stress Provoked By Digitized Recordings
"To me, as to Pythagoras, music is not mere entertainment or amusement (the absence of the muse), but therapy. It is one of the most potent modalities that exists for actuating what the Greeks called thymos, what Hippocrates called the vis medicatrix naturae, the healing power that exists within us all: Life Energy.
There are still many cultures in which there has been no divorce between music and healing. For example, in many so-called primitive societies, the healing shaman is nearly always a musician, and music and incantation are as important as all the other aspects of his profession. The only vestige we see of this in our society is the use of music in religious ceremonies, a custom which dates back to a time before the separation in our society of medicine and religion. Thus throughout the centuries and today, over and above the usual satisfaction or the more physical enjoyment we may derive from music, there is another quality, and it is this other quality, this Life Energy enhancing quality to which I have devoted a major part of my research over the years."
