Not to say you can't also do this intuitively, but it's more obvious when you are supplied with an example file constructed explicitly to demonstrate and exaggerate the differences. From there, like any audio "artifacts", it becomes easy to hear these differences in less obvious examples. But it should also be pointed out that there are audio examples where there is NO difference between those two sample rates.deepndark wrote:I can also hear difference between 44100 and 48000 Hz - i must have very sensitive ears.
It depends on the source material in my experience, since the differences can be quite subtle and exist only in the extreme upper frequencies. But that's a proven difference, whereas the Reason sound has been proven to not have any sonic differences.
there's going to be an easy way to test this.. let's render some synth sequences at 44 and 48 and see if he can pick which one is the 48 in a blind test.. let's say, 10 examples? I will provide 5 if you will provide 5. If he gets more than 60% right i will consider him being able to do it.
