It’s a pleasure to welcome back Ethan Winer to Your Audio Solutions! Ethan is back to further bust audio myths that can help you save money and to not succumb to placebo effects in your studio or in your favourite listening position (e.i., audiophiles).

This interview is partly a continuation of our previous and very popular interview which you can find here: Ethan Winer - Busting Audio Myths And Why Dave Pensado Was Tricked

Ethan Winer is well known in the audio industry with his many articles for major sound magazines as well as with his book The Audio Expert (Check it Here). Ethan has also been active at AES with, for example, his popular Audio Myths presentation (Check it Here).

In this interview, we spoke about:

- If you can tell the difference in the quality of converters by running them hot or clipping them

- If recording in a higher sample-rate improves the antialiasing filtering in converters

- If you need to “burn-in” your new speakers or headphones

- How you can null-test plugins such as EQ’s in your daw and if it’s possible to null-test sample rates

- Why the emotional impact of using, for example, different sample rates as suggested by Mixerman should not be included in scientific testing

- If Paul McGowan from PS Audio is correct by saying that Ethan’s null-test is fallible

- What Synergy is and if it, in fact, has an impact in audio

- If you should worry about using 16bit over 24bit resolution for your recordings

And much more
