Zengineering: A Philosophy of Science, Technology, Art & Engineering
018 - On Digital Audio, Apple, and Headphone Jacks
13 Sep 2016
What’s up Zengineers!? We’re flexing our new production workflow this week, and giving you an episode we recorded just this morning. Because it’s been in the news and we’ve wanted to talk about it anyway, we’re talking digital audio and why it’s so important to humans. From sound wave coming out of your mouth, to sound wave going into your ears we’re talking about what’s happening to the data, where quality is lost, and what this all means in the context of Apple deciding that the headphone jack’s time is up. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zengineering-podcast/support
