Abstract:
There is a unified push to make High Resolution Audio the next big thing for the consumer. The Digital Entertainment Group in cooperation with the Consumer Electronics Association, The Recording Academy, and the major record labels have recently defined High Resolution Audio as “lossless audio that is capable of reproducing the full range of sound from recordings that have been mastered from better than CD quality music sources.” We will discuss the ramifications of this initiative with experts who have worked with High Resolution Audio for a long time as well as play many examples from the participants so the audience can hear for themselves how High Resolution Audio can allow the listener to hear exactly what the artist has been hearing in the studio while creating their music.
