Audiophiles are astute in verbal cues.
Me am not an audiophile.
My spouse bought a Carver sound system & BnW 48” speakers and I cannot be in same room.
Really great sound for movies, video games, music or any performance art.
Me — could care less.
Spouse — must have took 14 years to acquire system.
how to 📌 in BlueSky. I’ve only just arrived. I’ve my own post pinned, yet how to pin another’s post. I’ve not attained such understanding within this app.
2. Most compression codec's work on comparing the value difference between the first piece of data and the second/next piece of data received rather than the whole value
So without that empty data at the start the first instance of Audio/Video data wouldn't get played as nothing to compare it to
part of the issue with compression codec's (the means of condensing what would be a massive amount of audio/video data down to a cheap amount of data rate to transmit/receive
Who the hell hears 40ms delay? That's the delay you get when you are 13-14 meters from the source, do those people suffer in cinemas and at the concerts as well?
✋🏻
I can. It basically turns it into bad lipsyncing. My brain hurts when there is any misalignment or video and audio, whether it’s in a game, or a video where people are talking.
As an example, in a rhythm game, a 40ms delay would be enough to have to consciously adjust to it while playing, and would definitely make a gameplay video look a little bit off
Glad you understood it.
At my old age tried reflexes are not good. I just cannot fathom playing because by time I realize what I should do is already to late and dead.
It seems so trivial, but watching an undubbed TV show with almost three frames of mismatch between mouth shapes and audio is agonizing. You can tell that something is very wrong but you can’t tell what.
Heh, I might be too tolerant of delays as someone who grew up on pirate translations of movies where translations would usually come ~2-3 sec after the original phrase, with both audible 😅
More delay is better! 40-200ms is The Bad Zone. Once the delay is high enough, it’s obvious what the problem is, and I can live with it. The uncanny valley of audio sync is where my brain screams “WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEIR MOUTHS, WHY DO THE SOUNDS COME OUT LIKE THAT”
I could be conflating some things but it matters when they add up right? Encoder delay + distance + delay from your television. For example mine has much better sync playing rhythm games when using HDMI over Optical. This could be related to encoding/format though I guess https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2eY7JGK/
I often find the delay between seeing and hearing at concerts really annoying. Can take me a while for the sensory integration to kick in. Particularly in big venues obviously. Honestly thought everyone was like this but.have mentioned it to other people who have no idea what I'm talking about.
interesting, but I'm more concerned about the fact that I'm paying big bucks for a Tidal subscription, investing a lot of storage on my phone to download songs @ CD quality sound, only to stream it in a lossy format for some weird (bluetooth) reason. i can't find a cost effective solution
If your Tidal file is audio only then the only reason you'd miss any audio at the front of the stream is if that was what was intended
The file header is applied at the compiling/formating of the file when it is initially created
2 Just because Tidal say they are streaming out at CD quality It doesn't mean the ip route between them and you will stick with it Hence why these platforms buffer But even then........
If you want to make a gapless BGM in Flash, and you don’t want to send WAV over Internet you could use MP3, but you have to DIY it by loading samples from MP3, setting start-end and feeding samples manually, because Flash player would just decode everything from file an feed as is
Or …
Or you could use MP3Loop, which does several nice things, like priming codec with last frame instead of silence, such that resulting samples would loop perfectly

You know that blank bit at the edge of a vinyl disk? Image the disk as an audio format.
A piece of software that streamed audio and video was counting the blank bit at the edge of the disk as useful sound, meaning the true start of the audio got pushed out of sync with the video.

Well time to verify ever audio thing I've written recently!

Any latency will introduce comb filtering.
Comb filtering is a kind of hollowness due to phase interference between the source (someone's voice) and the returning signal.

Unfortunately any kind of digital to analog and then analog back to digital connection ads processing delay
All modern digital kit adds some sort of processing delay Even the high end broadcast stuff It's just that some are better than others
The file header is applied at the compiling/formating of the file when it is initially created
As you well know CD is an uncompressed 48Khz data rate
Not saying thats impossible across the tinterwhizzle but its reliant on x number of ip servers and their bandwidth constraints between Tidal and you

• explains why CC is always active
Well that and the windows rattle from the surround sound when Godzilla hiccups. lol
These milliseconds were getting subtracted just fine when using the default format (AAC)
But when switching to another format, OPUS, the milliseconds werent being subtracted right
The bug was there for years for those who used OPUS
