[QUOTE="starck, post: 9547, member: 601"] You know what...put on a good pair of headphones (or, even better, use a good pair of speakers and amplifier, if you've got them). For simplicity, let's just use a good pair of headphones. Right now, I'm doing my critical listening using a pair of Etymotic HF5's. -Play Pinball Arcade's version of TOTAN. Then, plug your cans (headphones) into your computer, and play this TOTAN video of someone playing the real table. [B]It's essential that you make sure to increase the quality on the video all the way up to 1080p HD.[/B] (ignore the mechanical sounds for the time being- he has the glass off of the table and those sounds are artificially amplified because of it). [url]http://youtu.be/OWwYNpowchE?hd=1[/url] Now, go plug your cans back into your device of choice and play a quick minute of TOTAN on Pinball Arcade again. Notice anything? The following is my opinion- I am by no means the end-all-be-all opinion on this. But, here's what I think: Besides the fact that there's a video camera/(not the best microphone doing the recording), I think the difference is pretty obvious. The sound effects from the Pinball Arcade have less dynamic range (especially on the high end- can't tell about the low end, probably because of the youtube camera's mic limitations at low frequencies). Furthermore, the voice effects on that real TOTAN table are clearer, cleaner, easier to hear, and have less distortion, when compared to the Pinball Arcade's version. That being said, I'll agree, it's not like the sound effects are 'high definition' to begin with- the table was released in, what, 1994? However, in my humble opinion, the SQ in Pinball Arcade leaves something to be desired when compared to a good youtube video of the real thing. [/QUOTE]
