It varies for different musical sources but not significantly. Around 7dB is an average. But for octave band noise stimuli, the required value varies dramatically. There is also delay time dependency but in a random way - again depending on comb filtering. Detailed results will be presented in near future papers, I will keep you posted : ) Cheers, Hyunkook ========================================= Dr Hyunkook Lee, BMus(Tonmeister), PhD, MAES, FHEA Senior Lecturer in Music Technology Leader of the Applied Psychoacoustics Laboratory (APL) http://www.hud.ac.uk/research/researchcentres/mtprg/projects/apl/ School of Computing and Engineering University of Huddersfield Huddersfield HD1 3DH United Kingdom Phone: +44 (0)1484 471893 Email: h....@hud.ac.uk Office: CE 2 /14a University of Huddersfield inspiring tomorrow's professionals.
