I started listening to the audiotape of the book, This is Your Brain on Music. He started talking about how getting a pair of headphones for his all-in-one stereo set that he paid a hundred dollars for back in the day. He noticed that his speakers were not very good, and that he could listen to the music more in depth when he had his headphones on. I notice that too sometimes. I have a classical song that I like to listen to and I did not notice the detail of it when I listened to it through a pair of not so good speakers. When I put headphones on, I was amazed by the beauty of the whole song, because nothing was not left out.
I like how the author has a great love for music producing, and that he can notice stuff that we cannot. It is important where to place the microphone, or how to record. I am looking forward to talking about this guy in class on Monday, because he seems interesting.

I've also noticed the difference when you put headphones on. I was actually thinking about this before I read the book was the difference between going and actually seeing a live concert and listening to recorded music. I definetly think going live is the best experience of listening to music.
