We've been measuring sound all wrong...
Title is a little tongue-in-cheeck (as always) but I wanted to point this out as being actual science, that leads to new ways of measuring and understanding sound. Sites that re-use ancient methods of qualifying sound are not doing science, they are doing quality assurance.
This is not only new measurements, but new ways to think about hos the human brain perceives sound, which has clearly not been fully explored yet.

Eleven experienced listeners were individually asked to audit several short music excepts and the components extracted from them using different methods. 11? Well, I guess its a start. The high-quality sound decomposition also enables novel types of music remixing techniques. One of them leads to distortion-free dynamic range compression. Here are 5 tips to reduce compression: https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/5-mix-tips-you-need-to-improve-dynamic-range.html |
