Re: [LAU] digital voodoo: master fader should be set at 0db

you are correct in that they are not the same but psychoacoustics does study the _subjective_ human perception of auditory phenomena not the _objective_ human perception of auditory phenomena and while there are acoustic phenomena common to all healthy hearing/neurology which can be measured you are glossing over two factors involved in psychoacoustics which render most scientific generalization sort of dicey: emotional state and cultural bias and anyway my post was referring to the claim that if a property of a mix can't be scientifically measured then it doesn't exist -- which we all know is poppycock because 'music mastering' is NOT a science - it is pure sonic voodoo
