Uh ? What are *microdynamics* ?

Something that is very important to Powell. Other than
that, it's pretty hard to get many coherent deeper thoughts
about audio out of Powell. He has a very, ummm
metaphysical view of audio technology.

Hehehe... yes, I resemble that remark.


and articulation of the human voice.

Powell only records himself speaking, from the best
I can determine.

The human voice, in general, is the most difficult
aspect of audio reproduction. Number one with a
bullet in my musical preference.

I was listening to 3 A.M. Eternal by The KLF the other
day (RAP music) and was wondering how kids extract
(auditory perception) the understanding of the words
being spoken. A spectrum analysis indicated heavy
lower midrange prominence, the boom, boom, boom.
It tended to obscured the male voice. Female voice
was clearer being shifted further up the spectrum.
Because much of the rap music is spoken by male
voices, how do kids hear the words... isn’t that the
point of the tune (poetry)?
