Why do recordings sound different?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: You hear voice differently
Digital files lose quality — Wrong. High-quality recordings preserve sound accurately. The strange feeling comes from hearing your voice externally.
You hear voice differently ✓ — Correct! You normally hear your voice through skull vibrations AND air. Recordings only capture the air portion. Without bone conduction, your voice sounds higher and thinner—that's the real external sound of your voice!
Speakers distort all sound — Wrong. Quality speakers reproduce sound accurately. The difference is hearing yourself without bone conduction.
