Excellent simplification! If to give a suitably accurate answer means simplifying "greatly", then by all means! Considering the level of abstraction the question itself was at, that answer is proper proper. (Going deeper requires more information than was given...) Ok, I'll elaborate. Something...

Oh, ok, I see. We should maybe be more specific. You can make a scientific study about "What is the best motion picture of all time?", choosing only yourself as part of the group being studied, ask yourself, then compile the data. Obviously the question is completely subjective, but that's not...

I have another computer that I think is even older than 2011, similar specs though with "only" 4 GB DDR2 etc. and it runs Windows 10 perfectly. However, what I was about to post is: true. I'm one of the ones still recording with XP (driver availability) and I'm regularly delighted with that...

Well, asking directly is much better than what the alternative was! ;) What is your guess? What do I really want to know? Of course there is an underlying reason or actually, many reasons. Trying to figure out what they are, is purely subjective and pointless. Right? No. But that is actually a...

I don't follow. Who said this isn't subjective?

I think you know that is not at all what I asked. Your "facepalming" is really unnecessary. I specifically said I am NOT looking to start another debate on the subject, so maybe you can kind of see why I wanted to avoid asking a bunch of loaded questions or making claims myself? We've gotten a...

That's correct! No, really, that IS correct, meaning it wasn't a typo or other error. And the garage were talking about in this "assignment" has double doors, so it's even more, like 2 times 8' x 10'. Absolutely the single largest part of the debate (the one I had outside this forum) was in...

It can't? And honestly, I stopped reading your post instantly when you argued that actually I don't even know what question I should be asking... but YOU do. Eh?

Simplified even more: You're building an isolation wall, designed to block sound. There are two approaches. The first one is: you take 10 boards (low density fiberboard) and screw them together to make one massive wall, 50 cm thick. The second one is: you take 4 boards (low density fiberboard)...

I made no claims concerning what is subjective or objective, or what is not. I made no claims at all. I did not propose a plan to "go further" either. Whatever problem with "objective subjectiveness" etc. you think would be in the tests... IS in the tests. Somebody is probably doing an A/B test...

And my edit to the OP here, since based on the answers there's much room for misinterpretation: EDIT: I guess I typed the "quick" question too quickly. What I'm referring to here is a LARGE door, so in effect it's an isolation WALL anyway. The basic question is still this. Which one: a) ONE...

Miroslav knows "what I really want to know" better than me? And you agree with him? Honestly, are you crazy? I'll address the other stuff later in case there's something there to address.

You misunderstood horribly. This has nothing to do with how or why he or person X or person Y hears that particular track. Also, the NUMBER of people being tested is not the problem, the problem is WHO is being tested. Not regular people, but engineers, musicians and "audiophiles". What I...

Hi This is one really old debate to me, with an old friend. It's about a garage door and the question is about sound going out. Which is the better choice: a) one REALLY thick layer (50 cm) of particleboard, or b) at least two layers, separated by an air gap or gaps? I would even tend to...

In this particular case the big, the huuuuge if is that... well not technically an 'if' I guess. Anyway, not sure about hearing acuity, his (available, even if not actual) listening equipment is much better though... but he had not heard the original tracks! Never even once, let alone solo'ed...

Yes. I should stress that I'm not, I'm really not, wanting to start the typical debate. The specific point here, like I said, is: why is the actually relevant phenomenon (whether or not people in general, not "audiophiles" or professional audio engineers can tell) NOT being studied but almost...

Yeah. There's a LOT of confusion here on the forums concerning this topic. Most mainstream PC's from 1998 are easily able to record what most people would want to record (which I'd guess is around 8 tracks simultaneously).

...any two supposedly equivalent audio related things, really? No, I am serious. This came up again the other day, as a friend thought one of my recordings could've done with a bit more "presence" etc. etc. I know this is an age-old topic in itself, but I did spend time and could not find...

Have you recorded anything in there with everything as it is now? How does it sound? How big of a concern is soundproofing the door to the outside? Do you mainly desire to prevent sound (noise) coming in, or to prevent sound going out (disturbing neighbours or things of that sort)? And...

Completely off topic I guess, but I used to make a lot of recordings with an 8-track recorder I bought for 30 bucks. It's actually somewhat true that these days, for a couple hundred you can make very good recordings compared to anything even remotely affordable circa pre-2000. Someone asked...
