Irrelevant ... Google can indeed provide you with information and
terminology, but, unfortunately, can't provide you with the basic
understanding to properly use it.

Actually, I've been interested and involved in tape recording since my
parents bought a recorder back in the early 60's. Obviously that was a
low-end domestic machine but I've had a number of others, and built my
own, since. My current machine is a Ferrograph logic 7 but unfortunately
it now sits largely unused at the far end of the lounge. For a number of
reasons I no-longer have anything to record live and my microphones -
condensers and ribbons - have all gone up on ebay but I still have my
standard calibration tapes and the necessary test equipment to set
everything up.

Sure, I used google to check latest stuff such as current microphone
technology and specs but I /know/ at lot more than you think.

With microphone response dramatically falling off and machine response
also falling off, let alone your ears, it's largely academic as to whether
there is anything above 20k of any significance - or even lower
frequencies than that - unless you have the ears of a bat.

For all your ravings about psycho-acoustics you clearly have not
understood the work that has been done proving that at higher frequencies
(in particular) and below certain thresholds you can actually throw
information away without it being noticed by the human brain because of
msking effects.

We've drifted a long way from Festool so end of this particular discussion.
