The official double-blind 8-bit listening test
The samples have been compiled. They will be a very specific type of
music, early 8-bit mono tracks utilizing square/sawtooth waves for melody, triangle for bass and white noise for percussion, with a duration of 10 - 50 seconds. They'll be encoded with different codecs at various bitrates, decoded to raw waveform and packed in a RAR archive with a copy of the original, uncompressed samples. Get it he http://sharebee.com/d695aaed Once you acquire the wavs, you will see every original song with a name and its derivatives will have a number appended. You will compare each to the original and write down how you perceive the quality, in the following scale: 5 - Derivative sounds exactly like the original. No noticeable artifacts. 4 - Minor artifacts and audible defects. Good quality overall. 3 - Considerable defects. Sounds somewhat flawed compared to original. 2 - Low quality. Audio artifacts very prominent. 1 - Extremely ****ty quality, sounds like the song is playing from the bottom of a garbage can. Less than 1 - Barely recognizable or not recognizable at all. You may use half-points like 4.5, 3.5 if you feel your perception is in-between some of 'em, like if you don't hear flaws but the audio "feels" different in a way you can't explain you can give it a 4.9, 4.8 etc. and optionally, you can follow your rating with an explanation of what you noticed. When you're done, e-mail me the text file, i repeat, EMAIL, don't post it here. The results will be posted publicly when the test's done. Use good quality headphones, but if you believe your high-end speakers do the job the same if not better, go ahead. Don't use any software/ hardware tweaks/mixers that interpolate, reverb or alter the original signal in any way. Don't participate if you're on hearing aid, are old as **** and have crappy ears, an autistic ****, not human (I don't work with dogs yo) or believe you have any significant problems hearing. Also, don't do it while you're tweaked off your ass, woke up from a hangover, sleep- deprived or simply distracted by the horn of the train. We want a neurotypical point of view here. Oh and, don't do the whole test in one sitting. You may become too accustomed to the type of music and develop those weird resonances, placebo effects etc. Do a couple dozen, then continue later, or on another day. DO IT WHEN YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE DOING IT, not when you've got 10 spare minutes before you gotta take your antidepressants. And lastly, don't try to bull**** me by lying or cheating on the test, 'cuz I'll know. You are not to do ANYTHING with the .wavs except open them with your media player and listen. No analyzing with an audio engineering app to determine the level of compression (if that's even possible) -- but I doubt any of you got no life that you get kicks outta spending hours trying to deceive some anonymous named "Industrial One" on the internet. Thanks. |

The test audio subjects do not qualify, as Trance didn't exist at the time most of them were produced (1986-1992), nor do I listen to them individually. This test is to determine the most ideal lossy codec/bitrate for such music. Join in if you want, no registration is required. |

I'm not the one confused, and I seriously doubt you'll find anyone to support your position on 8 bit wave files here. Why on earth would I want to download your crap, you'll never accept you are wrong anyway. I've already wasted too much time on your stupidity. Not wasting any more. Good luck finding someone who will. MrT. |

All right wise ass, if a 2-digit number means so much to you, I can rip a seperate group to 16-bit in one click. The archive will only be about 250 megs. |

Given that you have already proven to all here that you don't have the slightest clue, why would anyone want to waste their time and money? I would suggest that most people here have already done their own tests, or can easily do so without your files. MrT. |

I've received an e-mail for the 2nd time today asking if I want
everyone to perform multiple trials. It ain't required. This takes way too long to do as it is, so again, unless you're really bored, go ahead. Otherwise, you don't need to. |

Otherwise, you don't need to. 8-bit sounds and music are my liking, since I got my NES thats been working since 1985. I've also been using VirtuaNES/NSF, which're basically the same thing, one being strictly a music player. |

Cool, you in? Get the message out to other people you might think are interested. We're running low on participants. If we can't get 12 by next month, I'll have to include myself in the test. |
