StereoWise: Sound - Music Instruments


SOUND: As an Audiophile, we have a problem. How should something sound, what is the right sound? This is just as difficult to determine as the question how a Strawberry should taste. We are therefore often tempted to listen to Audio - Hifi specialists because they will know!  You can become a better listener and for that you only have to do One thing and that is attend concerts, preferably in small halls, so that you can get a good impression of Vocals and Instruments.

Technical Listening also called analytical listening, is the practice of evaluating the quality and persuasiveness of Audio Equipment through careful listening.  Listening to sound technically is very different from listening to music for Fun and Relaxation.  The goal in critical listening is not primarily to undergo the musical experience, but to determine whether a system or component sounds or performs well and less well and which specific characteristics of the sound are decisive for this.

Evaluation of Audio Equipment with the help of hearing is essential, the mechanism of Human Hearing is often more sensitive and complex than the most advanced testing equipment currently available.



I also want to give you an overview of the most common instruments in making of traditional music, remenber that all instruments separably have their own sound, but because artists and orchestra leader have made an arrangement of them, these instruments together have a very nice composition..
