Btw. I tested my own music.
First I played inside songs from other people a Ralf-mastering of my own
music.
Most people didn't like my song.
Some weeks later I played the same song inside other songs from other
people by a loudness-war-mastering.
Most people liked the song.
Playing the same song two times can't be called heavy rotation, hence
they were not accustomed to my song, but they need a bad mastering to be
fine with this song.
A blind study is useless regarding to musical issues. You are working on midi-latency-jitter. Which is
measurable. And the test is
when the jitter becomes unbearable.
Taste on the other thing is not measurable and while you could quantify it,
common sense says that taste-minorities are valuable too...
LOL.
Or do you think we should start mixing music
optimised to loudness,
because tests show that the audience prefers music without dynamic?
Taste-minorities. You play your dynamic-rich songs to fans of classical music
and see their reactions. If you can distinguish the "like it because of
dynamics" from the "don't like it because of rock-vs-classical". Which
just
shows that taste is not measurable.
And no, pop industry doesn't measure taste, it just measures profit. Have fun,

We're getting seriously off-topic here. After all, this is developer
list. What happened to the ALSA MIDI Jitter measurements and test-samples?
