How to distinguish subtle differences in sound XNUMX
I'm yosi, the administrator of Chillout with Beats.
I honestly don't have a good ear, so I have a good chance of relying on my eyes.
I don't know if I can't tell the difference by ear, so I'll try to find another way.
I wrote an article about how to check with a spectrum analyzer before, so please read it if you like.
With a spectrum analyzer, you can see the rough difference, but the subtle difference is hard to understand.
There is a method of extracting and listening only to the difference in order to distinguish the small difference in sound.
In this article, I will invert the sound and mix it so that only the difference can be heard.
I use Patcher in FL Studio for my DAW, but I think I can do something similar with my DAW.
First of all, including the meaning of operation check, mix with the sound of the opposite phase to cancel the sound.
If you add the sounds of the opposite phase and the positive phase, the sound disappears.
In short, it is the same as adding -1 and +1 to get 0.
How to cancel the sound in FL Studio
You can do it with Edison, but it's not real-time, so it's a lot of work.
Also, if you are listening to the difference, you will be worried whether the settings are really correct.
(You can check the settings at any time in real time)
Add a patcher
First, add Patcher to your mixer.
Load "Fruity Stereo Shaper" into Patcher. (Anything is OK if it can be out of phase)
Open Pather and add "Fruity Stereo Shaper".
Double-click "Fruity Stereo Shaper" to open it.
Right-click on the preset feed and click "Mixing"-> "Invert".
This will invert the sound that passes through the "Fruity Stereo Shaper".
Connect Patcher Input and Output
Connect the positive phase.
With this, the output will output the positive phase and the negative phase, and no sound will be output.
Check if the sound disappears
Please actually input the sound and check it.
If there is no sound, it's OK.
Then right-click on → to see. (Mute)
If you hear a sound, it is working properly.
Let's actually listen and compare
For example, you can extract the difference even for sounds such as saturators and exciters whose effects are difficult to understand.
I will actually try it.
There are cases where the volume changes considerably, so it is easier to understand if you adjust the volume lightly.
However, the point to be careful is the difference.
Summary of how to distinguish subtle differences in sound
With this, even subtle differences can be heard.
If you repeat this, you will get a hit, so you will be able to hear sounds that you couldn't hear before.
Next time I will do the same with audio.
