Do yourself a favor and get a record player and some records, vinyl if you can. Then sit down and really listen. Don’t do anything else while listening. It pays off, I promise.
This is what I’ve done. Not all it’s cracked up to be. 24/96 is still my sweet spot for casual listening (as long as the recording/mastering chain was all at least 96khz… Otherwise, whatever the weakest link in the chain was).
For having a career, though, 3 decades of piano ain’t a bad way to go.
Please do! You make it sound like it’s some unobtainable ideal but people still do this all the time. In fact, conditions are probably ideal at this point in history.
If I did that, I’d tell them to deliberately destroy every timpani they see because that instrument hurts my ears more than anything. The rest of the orchestra sounds like paradise basically.
National anthems and Disney films would sound a lot tamer this way. And I guess the Celeste soundtrack as well (no offense to Lena Raine, I just simply hate that instrument).
This is something I’m getting back to appreciating as I get older. Just listening to music. Vinyl also helps the experience because of the whole ritual of putting on a record.

Record player? Please no need to cheap out, I hire my own orchestra.
Well obviously, but with the economy and everything I can only afford it on weekends these days. I know, I know, but we all have to make sacrifices.
Hire an orchestra? I’m sorry, the truest and purest form of music is to spend 2-3 decades mastering an instrument and make it with your own two hands.

I found a CD player on the curb and i’m enjoying my CDs more than i did back in the day.
And ruin my wall art? No thanks… /s
/s means you want to ruin your wall art? Sorry, I’m not good with sarcasm
