It is completely non linear, it's frequency response also alters hugely according to the SPL of the incoming audio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletch...3Munson_curves See that dip around 3K? We don't need that boosted, we hear that better than anything, in fact it is a REALLY ANNOYING part of the spectral frequency. It just sounds "NASTY". I can't put it any better than that, but if you wanted to make a really nasty annoying noise, you would include a lot of frequencies around 3KHz. What you are doing is actually BOOSTING your frequencies around this REALLY NASTY frequency, so all your mixes sound acutely annoying. I suspect this is because you have some auditory impediment that reduces your perception of such frequencies. Or you just can't be bothered to A/B your mixes with commercial ones. On the other hand, it is just as likely you know full well what you are doing, and are simply a Troll, trying to wind us up. Gareth. " I can see where the loudness contour might confuse some folks. They probably think that the lowest parts of that graph represent our hearing's least sensitivity - exactly the opposite of what that graph communicates. Is JackA also rolling off the bottom, corresponding to the steady and steep rise in that end of the graph? smh... This was missing bass,(no 3kHz needed) so I added some... http://www.angelfire.com/empire/abps...agicmoment.mp3 People here think CD audio is the greatest thing since sliced bread and nothing at all should be changed. Everyone is happy as a lark with audio CDs, yet, before he passed, Doug Sax mentioned, man will eventually get the hang of CD mastering. And that's why people switched back to vinyl, since you can't beat the sound of CDs. Jack |
