Description
High Definition recording has only been possible in the last couple
of years. These recordings provide a more natural listening experience,
very close to live. They contain low levels of distortion, more
accurate
representation of the sound waves, providing a rich, fulfilling
listening
experience with greater clarity than our earlier 16-bit recordings.
What
you hear is more clear high frequencies, authentic timbre in low
frequencies,
greater definition of individual notes, and spatial details unlike you
have ever heard! This provides more new opportunities for developing
TLP
than ever thought possible.
The combination of
ABT
Music HD recordings coupled with ABT's Spatial Surround™ recording and
production process takes TLP to a new level of quality, enjoyment, and
effectiveness. With Spatial Surround the listener is placed in the
position of the conductor of an orchestra. In the middle of the
orchestra, the conductor will hear sounds more individually, clear and
distinct. Instead of blended sounds
as one may hear in front of the orchestra at a concert, they will hear
the
instruments more individually as the musicians play them around the
listener.
This provides more clarity providing the benefit of experiencing the
natural
spatial properties of the sound. Coupled with Dolby Headphone
technology,
which provides a surround sound experience in stereo headphones, these
CDs
contain spatial details unrivaled to this point.
Music
FS
Prelude contains ABT Music HD 24-bit 192 kHz recordings of Vivaldi
Concertos, Mozart Symphonies, Haydn Quartets, and others with strings
and woodwinds. These recordings have been simplified using numerous
psychoacoustic treatments to make them easier for the listener to
attend to the individual instrumental "voices". These simplifications
provide an opportunity for the listener
to better understand what is taking place within the compositions
making
them easier to listen to and sequentially process. The compositions by
these
great masters and the performances by the Arcangelos Chamber Ensemble
are
energetic, vivid and joyous.
Auditory
Processing Skills
One
of the auditory processing skills we focus on training in FS Prelude is
auditory figure ground- the ability to focus on foreground sound such
as a conversation, while filtering out distracting background noise.
For many people trying
to listen to speech when competing sounds are present is a source of
stress
and frustration, whether in the classroom, work place, or public places
such
as a restaurant. Full Spectrum Prelude is a tool which can be used to
train
this ability. While auditory figure ground is a vital skill for
understanding language, to hold auditory attention and concentrate, it
is also an essential skill in our ability to process, understand and
enjoy music.
If an auditory scene
or piece of music is too complex for our auditory system to process, we
can become stressed and shut down to varying degrees. FS Prelude gives
the listener an opportunity to hear the instrumental voices separate at
times, and at
varying volume levels, that makes it easier to attend or focus to one
instrumental voice then another. Instruments are individually brought
to the foreground then move gradually into the background shifting
auditory attention in
subtle but significant ways. This sets a foundation for auditory
processing
that allows future listening to be more effective. Full Spectrum
Prelude
trains not only our ability to perform an auditory scene analysis and
the
auditory figure ground skill but also selective auditory attention,
pitch
discrimination, amplitude perception, sound localization, frequency
perception,
and temporal processing.
Listening
to FS Prelude trains auditory processing in ways that are of equal
benefit to the beginning or experienced listener. Rather than using
filtration
which can be initially uncomfortable for some, the natural frequency
contrasts of the individual instruments provides a unique, engaging,
and comfortable listening experience.
The only difference between Prelude 1 and Prelude 2 is the music
selection -- two CDs with similar components and objectives allow for a
greater musical variety. To learn more about Full Spectrum Prelude CDs
