Pink noise is a random signal, filtered to have equal energy per octave. In order to keep the energy constant over octaves, the spectral density needs to decrease as the frequency (f) increases. This explains why pink noise is sometimes referred as "1/f noise." In terms of decibels, this decrease corresponds to 3 dB per octave on the magnitude spectrum.
Pink noise has equal power in proportionally wide bandwidths. For example, the 20 Hz bandwidth between 20 Hz and 40 Hz (one octave) contains the same amount of sound power as the 10,000 Hz bandwidth between 10,000 Hz and 20,000 Hz (one octave).

For the human auditory system - which processes frequencies logarithmically - pink noise is supposed to sound even across all frequencies, and therefore best approximates the average spectral distribution of music.
In healthcare applications, pink noise is used to treat hyperacusis, an increased sensitivity to normal environmental sounds, or to mask tinnitus, a ringing in your ear occurring without any stimulus.

I have now resolved the pink noise issue I had. I got the Ethernet adaptor I ordered and connecting my MacBook via Ethernet resolved the issue. I can play MQA up-to 192kHz OK now. I will try to do proper listening to see if there are any benefits. Tidal has the CD Versions of all MQA albums, so this should be easy to do.
I did also try MP3 as an export just to see what would happen, and this had very different results. That one even managed to export "a" file, but the audio content therein was just white noise with bursts of pink noise over top.
Ever since I picked up the Marantz PM-11S2 turntable, I've been amassing quite a collection of vinyl records. Flip the clock back two years ago and I would have never considered spinning records on my system. Well, let's just say ever since I upgraded my speaker system to the fabulous Status Acoustics 8T's, I've opened my mind to new possibilities. I've come to appreciate a wider diversity of music and the various formats to listen on. Why limit yourself to one format? Why not enjoy the different experience you get through different listening media? After all, it's not all just about getting the lowest noise and distortion in a recording is it? What about the emotional response the format evokes on the listener? There is something to be said about the crackling sound of vinyl as well as when the needle first hits the record, which I find quite enthralling. The whole experience is best described as warm and cozy. My wife finds it to be more personable and romantic when we listen to a vinyl recording. Can't argue with her when she's pouring a nice glass of wine with a smile on her face dressed comfortably for what promises to be a fun night.
Interestingly, the Phil Collins CD and Vinyl recordings are from the same era (1982), studio (Atlantic Records) and recording engineer (Hugh Padgham). The original master is analog which is what the CD is derived from, hence an AAD recording. The Spyro Gyra CD and Vinyl recordings are also from the same era (1986), studio (MCA/Amherst Records) and recording engineer (Bob Ludwig). While the CD isn't clearly marked, I believe the recording was originally done digitally. In fact, I believe the Vinyl was mastered from the digital recording since the record plays so incredibly clean and noise free. This is an interesting comparison since in the Phil Collins case, the Vinyl would appear to have an advantage being an original analog master while in the Spyro Gyra case the CD would seem to have the advantage since its an original digital master. So suck on that Objectivists; we do have the same recordings mastered by the same people and mixes on both formats!
As stated earlier, I selected recordings I had duplicate copies of for digital and analog sources. I level matched by ear and had Dave Phares also confirm the levels seemed to be very close, if not identical. It's impossible to level match with a SPL meter since we were trying to match music sources not a fixed generated test tone or pink noise. Each record was recorded differently, thus I had to level match for each of the three recordings. Luckily the Oppo BDP-105 made level matching a breeze with 1dB on the fly adjustable level matching from the analog outputs.
Phil Collins - Hello I Must Be Going
Again this was originally an analog recording, so the CD stands at a disadvantage since it was being remastered from the analog tapes. While the CD had a whopping 2.7 pt average advantage to the Vinyl recording for noise floor, it still lost out unanimously with our listening panel to the latter mostly because of dynamic compression found in the digital recording. I personally preferred the Vinyl recording myself as I felt Phil Collins vocals were more realistic sounding and the drums were far more dynamic. I was quite pleased with the sonics of this used Vinyl recording that I picked up at my local record store for $5. Money well spent, especially if you're a Phil Collins fan like myself.
Spyro Gyra - Breakout
Ok, I was interested in the results on this one since we were dealing with an original digital recording that had to be remastered for the analog Vinyl version. A lot of the new Beatles records are being done like this from the 192kHz FLAC files and I'm hearing mixed results of these on our forum. A couple of listeners left the "vocal" field blank until I later explained you can substitute vocals for brass instruments in these cases. In the situations where a blank remained, I simply averaged the data I had on hand only.
The results were almost dead even for this recording which tells me the Vinyl transfer was done very well to preserve the dynamic range of the digital recording. In fact, the noise floor was so low on the record that it was often hard to determine which was the CD and which was the Vinyl record. The listening panel seemed to slightly prefer the more detail, especially in the trumpets, the CD version offered. I personally preferred the detail and snappiness of the digital recording but also really enjoyed the somewhat smoother sounding Vinyl transfer, especially at high listening levels. Given the choice between both recordings, I'd probably find myself still picking the Vinyl record to listen to most of the time. What can I say, I like seeing my record player spin, especially when it sounds this good. I got this record for $2 used, but still sealed at a thrift shop. What a great purchase!
First of the test signals boink.mp3 is a collection of tones at individual frequencies. Each of them is 10 cycles long. The frequencies in this signal are 16, 18, 20, 22, 26, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120 and 150Hz. There is a little space between the tones to enable your audio system to build up its forces. As you play this signal pay attention to the purity of the tone. The tone should be clean and all tones should have the same level. If you hear any distortion, noises or rattling check your sound system and your room. The source may be your loudspeakers but also something resonating in your listening room or even the audio equipment feeding the loudspeakers. This signal is particularly useful for testing the output capacity of your system because the signal is not continuous, stressing your audio system similar to actual music and yet the signal is analytical and well defined. Start from a low sound level and work up towards higher levels. Notice any changes.
The third signal pink.mp3 contains noise. This 'Pink' noise has a particular characteristic (equal power per octave, power density decreases 3dB per octave) that makes all frequencies in the noise equally audible and therefore the pink noise can reveal very small frequency response differences effectively. It is an excellent signal for comparing the effect of any change you introduce in your sound system in the A/B test fashion. It has a spectrum similar to actual musical signal, and stresses your sound system similarly. Also, you can use this signal together with an octave-band or a third-octave-band real time analyzer to calibrate your sound system.
Hello,
I am having problems with crackling, popping, distorted, crunched paper kind of sounds in my exported videos. I have gone through many other similar posts, but could not find a solution. I usually have 2-3 video tracks (.mp4/60FPS) and a single audio track (.wav), but I made a simple test problem with a single audio file (.wav or .flac), exported it as a .mp4 video and the problem still persists. I am running the latest version of Shotcut and already tried re-installing it.
I exported from Shotcut as WAV and indeed the glitches were gone. I went back to the original project containing all the 3 video and 1 audio tracks and exported it with the YouTube pre-set, but switching the audio encoder to ac3. No noticeable additional noise or glitch.
Engaging the TX-NR808 is as simple as hitting the On button, selecting a source, sitting back, and enjoying a TV show, a movie, or some music. Indeed, with integrated audio and video, whole new experiences opened up to us. Because 5.1-channel surround sound is becoming more commonplace with HD broadcasting, ordinary TV programs took on a novel dimension as enveloping sound accompanied fare as fun as Burn Notice or Psych, or as banal as a raft of run-of-the-mill sitcoms. The real ear-openers were live sporting events, from the World Series to college football. The network sound engineers have cleverly relegated crowd noise to the surrounds, and there we ran into the first problem: The surround channels were considerably and annoyingly louder than the play-by-play from the three front speakers.

Hello,
I am having problems with crackling, popping, distorted, crunched paper kind of sounds in my exported videos. I have gone through many other similar posts, but could not find a solution. I usually have 2-3 video tracks (.mp4/60FPS) and a single audio track (.wav), but I made a simple test problem with a single audio file (.wav or .flac), exported it as a .mp4 video and the problem still persists. I am running the latest version of Shotcut and already tried re-installing it.
