deadmau5 Talks Audio vs. 视频质量直播
按理说，电子音乐偶像 deadmau5 would prioritize audio over video in his live streams, but it's not that simple. Much of it comes down to how his audience consumes music online, 设备使用的流行趋势, and more.
埃里克·舒马赫-拉斯穆森主席 流媒体会议, and CMO, id3as, begins by mentioning that one of the “encoding gurus” of the streaming industry, Ben Waggoner, “Used to begin all his presentations at our events by saying, ‘Streaming is the art of taking amazing video and audio and making it look and sound worse!’ No matter what you do, there’s going to be some sacrifices.他问deadmau5, deadmau5也是公司的股权合伙人 Stream Voodoo, “How do you make the decisions about what sort of sacrifices you're willing to make for a given event or a given stream? You’re a musician, is audio quality always more important than video?”
Deadmau5 says that he can’t help but think of the highest quality outputs when he is producing his music. “我以这种态度做音乐, ‘Oh yeah, I really think everyone's sitting barefoot in their living room with the McIntosh AMP and the $5,000 DAC, 他们建了一个漂亮的空中交通管制中心, just, 边听音乐边“禅”, and that's the way it was produced and intended to be heard and stuff like that.’”但他指出，即使是在大型音乐场所, he cannot count on a high-quality audio experience for the attendees due to various factors, 包括人群的噪音，可能还有他自己的醉酒. “我可能喝多了六瓶啤酒，”他说. 但他也说"我去了一个地方，然后吐得这么厉害 K2 阵列，以130分贝爆炸...听起来[可怕]. 这并不是因为音响公司. 不是因为产品. 不是因为我. 这只是这是地点. 那时候你是派对的主持人?”
But overall, deadmau5 says, “Do I want to deliver exact quality out to the world? 不完全是，你知道我的意思? Audio quality would be important if it was a controlled stream from a controlled studio environment, and I was piping that in directly as [it was] intended to be heard and stuff like that.” But he notes that most of his listeners are consuming his music on already heavily encoded platforms like Spotify and YouTube. “My fan base is more likely to YouTube a song than listen to it,” he says. “And the purists will be like, ‘Well, I have it in lossless audio. 它就像，它不是，你知道我的意思?”
Schumacher-Rasmussen agrees that some compromise is warranted to serve a fan base best. “你知道，我非常崇拜尼尔·杨，”他说. 但要极端地说, ‘I'm going to deny my music to people who don't listen to it in the sound quality that I deem acceptable,这也不是一个切实可行的解决方案.”
Deadmau5 compares various states of intoxication from various drugs as an example of the pointlessness of changing the tech for audio output, if the audience is already consuming the music in a compromised way. “醉了就是醉了。. stone就是stone. Okay?” he says. “我进行了一次非常有趣的谈话. 这在某些州是不允许的, 但我当时在朋友家, 我一点也不抽大麻. 我不能，因为如果我做了，我就出局了. I either have to go to the hospital, or a cop is going to show up even though it's legal. 不然我妈就会打扮成警察走进来. 你们能明白我的心情? 我就是受不了大麻. 我有很多朋友, ‘Oh, well, 你应该尝尝印度菜, 你得试试大麻, 你一定要试试这个. 你必须做不同的事情. 就像，‘哟! 醉了就是醉了.“有多少人跑到你跟前说, ‘Okay, listen, 我昨晚昏倒了, 我再也不会那么做了.’ They're like, ‘Oh man, you’ve gotta switch from wine to beer.’ No dude! 我还是会喝醉的. 我可能会打架."
“So I don't think changing the brand is going to give you this different desired output unless you're a sommelier,” he says. “在音频和流媒体领域，我们有侍酒师. 我有我的192khz 24位. And I can hear that – not because I'm Rick Rubin but because I've got a pair of $85,000 monitors up there that are transparent enough to deliver that difference. So there's so many factors that go from delivery to reception that make it known that it's like, ‘Oh wow, 这个质量真的很好.’ Right? And then you go out, and you've got this kid jamming out to his favorite song out his iPhone speakers, probably having just as much of the time of his life as Rick Rubin is, you know, 光着脚“禅”!”
