Well, thoughts to ponder.?

Since the ear is the ultimate judge of tone, then a measuring device may not be as sensitive as the human ear. The human ear is a complex organ that resides in a case that resonates. Your skull. Otherwise a measuring device would be responsible for all the music in the world. The thing about A/B tests is that they do exist. Specially for people that spend all day listening to sound being recorded. After a while your ears pick up phase cancellations and frequencies that disappear when a door to the control room is opened.


I don't think that hearing is based only on a desire. A true test is to trust your ears, if you have them. Not expecting something allows your ears to hear better. Doing an A/B test with expectations adds the element of bias in the equation. It's like listening back to a recorded work you've done. If you can't listen from the point of disassociation, then you will hear only what you want to hear. You have to clear your mind and let the chips fall where they may.

Most hit songs were made with serendiptous connections of wires, guitars, amps, effects.

I don't think a measuring device is that sophisticated enough to listen for the nuances that a human can hear.

Thankfully, the food network has not resorted to using computers for taste testing.
