Perception of modal distribution metrics in critical listening spaces - dependence on room aspect ratios (2005)
Journal Article
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2005). Perception of modal distribution metrics in critical listening spaces - dependence on room aspect ratios. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 53(12), 1128-1141

The subjective significance of two general types of metrics used to describe the "quality" of a room based on its aspect ratio are compared. Tests were carried out to evaluate differences between three virtual rooms that score extreme classifications...

Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Wilson, A., & Fazenda, B. (2005, October). Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics. Presented at Reproduced Sound 30, Birmingham, UK

As digital audio is encoded as discrete samples of the audio waveform, much can be said about the nature of the recording by the statistical properties of the sample distribution. By analysis of the probability mass function and associated summary fe... Read More about Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics.

Measurement of sound quality for critical listening (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Holland, K., & Newell, P. (2005, July). Measurement of sound quality for critical listening. Presented at 12th International Congress on Sound and Vibration, Lisbon

For the critical assessment of music recordings the uniformity of the pressure amplitude response with respect to frequency has robustly been defended as one of the principals of prime importance for any electro-acoustic monitoring system. This has b... Read More about Measurement of sound quality for critical listening.
