[ProAudio] [ProAud] The High-Resolution Challenge

[mark whitehouse]

Following on from our discussion of around 18 months ago,
I know in Australia there were moves to get some kind of "truth in
marketing"
in regards to High sample rate recordings.
And promoting the differences in standards that are now available.

Essentially a standard that could be understood by and promoted to
consumers, musicians etc.

It doesnt seem to have gone far and when you see things like this
http://archimago.blogspot.com/2013/07/list-suspected-44-or-48khz-pcm.html

It makes you wonder if things will improve.
Is there any consensus on getting this acknowledged?

Mark
