There are two files, you only need to listen to one, note the name (after AD test in title) and decide if The OT capture is before or after the source file
Maybe the two files are presented in the same order, maybe they’re not, it doesn’t matter, just pick one I just wanted to rule out any selection/ordering bias assumptions - just listen and decide
What’s the OT capture, you know the device famous for flattening/colouring/spoiling everything at the MIxer Inputs so an answer is oranges 1 (1st) or 2 (2nd) or apples 1 or 2 or oranges/apples 3 i.e. they’re the same (maybe things ain’t straightforward, what do you hear ?? )
Fwiw it’s a file I found at short notice today, it’s a high res audio file freely downloadable, not my bag tbh, but it was showing decent dynamic range
One part of the file you listen to could be the source recording converted to 44.1 24 as per the OT capture spec, the other part of the file could be the OT capture (fed direct into AB via a MOTU interface at a level equivalent to the source, it was transmitted as a 32bit96k flac into the OT (Mixer Gain 0), before the file was converted to the OT format and tweaked by about half a dB to adjust for level mismatch - the OT capture was just a direct save of the 24bit AB rec buffer, no edits
… so one segment on at least one of the files has been through an additional DA/AD analog stage
pick one, just one at random and answer as above ‘name 1/2/3’ …
so, what’s the reckoning ? any takers …
