3D audio spatializers for Virtual Reality (VR) can use the acoustic properties of the surfaces of a visualised game space to calculate a matching reverb. However, this approach could lead to reverbs that impair the tasks performed in such a space, such as listening to speech-based audio. Sound designers would then have to alter the room’s acoustic properties independently of its visualisation to improve speech intelligibility, causing audio-visual incongruency. As user expectation of simulated room acoustics regarding speech intelligibility in VR has not been studied, this study asked participants to rate the congruency of reverbs and their visualisations in 6-DoF VR while listening to speech-based audio. The participants compared unaltered, matching reverbs with sound-designed, mismatching reverbs. The latter feature improved D50s and reduced RT60s at the cost of lower audio-visual congruency. Results suggest participants preferred improved reverbs only when the unaltered reverbs had comparatively low D50s or excessive ringing. Otherwise, too dry or too reverberant reverbs were disliked. The range of expected RT60s depended on the surface visualisation. Differences in timbre between the reverbs may not affect preferences as strongly as shorter RT60s. Therefore, sound designers can intervene and prioritise speech intelligibility over audio-visual congruency in acoustically challenging game spaces.

Designing audio experiences for heterogeneous arrays of multiple devices is challenging, and researchers have tried to identify useful design practices. A set of design dimensions have been proposed, providing researchers and creative practitioners with a framework for understanding the different design considerations for multi-device audio; however, they have yet to be used for scoping and developing a new experience. This work investigates the utility of the design dimensions for exploring and prototyping new multi-device audio experiences. Three workshops were conducted with audio professionals to see how the design dimensions could be used to form new ideas. Using the resulting ideas, a multi-device audio system combining loudspeakers and earbuds, and an experience based on that system, were created and demonstrated. The design dimensions were found to be useful for understanding multi-device audio experiences and for quickly forming new ideas. In addition, the dimensions were a helpful reference during experience development for testing different design choices, particularly for audio allocation.

IntroductionPrevious research has shown that podcasts are most frequently consumed using mobile listening devices across a wide variety of environmental, situational, and social contexts. To date, no studies have investigated how an individual’s environmental context might influence their attentional engagement in podcast listening experiences. Improving understanding of the contexts in which episodes of listening take place, and how they might affect listener engagement, could be highly valuable to researchers and producers working in the fields of object-based and personalized media.MethodsAn online questionnaire on listening habits and behaviors was distributed to a sample of 264 podcast listeners. An exploratory factor analysis was run to identify factors of environmental context that influence attentional engagement in podcast listening experiences. Five aspects of podcast listening engagement were also defined and measured across the sample.ResultsThe exploratory factor analysis revealed five factors of environmental context labeled as: outdoors, indoors & at home, evenings, soundscape & at work, and exercise. The aspects of podcast listening engagement provided a comprehensive quantitative account of contemporary podcast listening experiences.DiscussionThe results presented support the hypothesis that elements of a listener’s environmental context can influence their attentional engagement in podcast listening experiences. The soundscape & at work factor suggests that some listeners actively choose to consume podcasts to mask disturbing stimuli in their surrounding soundscape. Further analysis suggested that the proposed factors of environmental context were positively correlated with the measured aspects of podcast listening engagement. The results are highly pertinent to the fields of podcast studies, mobile listening experiences, and personalized media, and provide a basis for researchers seeking to explore how other forms of listening context might influence attentional engagement.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

This paper presents an acoustic reconstruction of the UK House of Commons between c. 1820 and 1834. Focusing on a historically important site where political decisions were debated over the centuries, we aim to simulate and present the intangible principles of the acoustic properties and sounds heard within the space. The acoustic model was created based on available historical evidence with the aid of commercial acoustic simulation software. We discuss the decisions made for this reconstruction based on further experimentation with the acoustic characteristics of the constituent materials and settings of the available software. An additional comparison of the achieved acoustic results with spaces of similar historical importance and layout is presented, as a calibration of the model with in situ measurements was not possible in this case study. The values of T30, EDT, C50 and Ts are presented, while auralization examples are also available for a subjective evaluation of the results.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

Camera-based solutions can be a convenient means of collecting physiological measurements indicative of psychological responses to stimuli. However, the low illumination playback conditions commonly associated with viewing screen-based media oppose the bright conditions recommended for accurately recording physiological data with a camera. A study was designed to determine the feasibility of obtaining physiological data, for psychological insight, in illumination conditions representative of real world viewing experiences. In this study, a novel method was applied for testing a first-of-its-kind system for measuring both heart rate and facial actions from video footage recorded with a single discretely placed camera. Results suggest that conditions representative of a bright domestic setting should be maintained when using this technology, despite this being considered a sub-optimal playback condition. Further analyses highlight that even within this bright condition, both the camera-measured facial action and heart rate data contained characteristic errors. In future research, the influence of these performance issues on psychological insights may be mitigated by reducing the temporal resolution of the heart rate measurements and ignoring fast and low-intensity facial movements.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

The widespread distribution of mobile computing presents new opportunities for the consumption of interactive and immersive media experiences using multiple connected devices. Tools now exist for the creation of these experiences; however, there is still limited understanding of the best design practices and use cases for the technology, especially in the context of audio experiences. In this study, the application space of co-located multi-device audio experiences is explored and documented through a review of the literature and a survey. Using the obtained information, a set of seven design dimensions that can be used to characterise and compare experiences of this type is proposed; these are synchronisation, context, position, relationship, interactivity, organisation, and distribution. A mapping of the current application space is presented where four categories are identified using the design dimensions, these are public performances, interactive music, augmented broadcasting, and social games. Finally, the overlap between co-located multi-device audio and audio-augmented reality (AAR) experiences is highlighted and discussed. This work will contribute to the wider discussion about the role of multiple devices in audio experiences and provide a source of reference for the design of future multi-device audio experiences.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

Sound design with the goal of immersion is not new. However, sound design for immersive media experiences (IMEs) utilizing spatial audio can still be considered a relatively new area of practice with less well-defined methods requiring a new and still emerging set of skills and tools. There is, at present, a lack of formal literature around the challenges introduced by this relatively new content form and the tools used to create it, and how these may differ from audio production for traditional media. This article, through the use of semi-structured interviews and an online questionnaire, looks to explore what audio practitioners view as defining features of IMEs, the challenges in creating audio content for IMEs and how current practices for traditional stereo productions are being adapted for use within 360 interactive soundfields. It also highlights potential direction for future research and technological development and the importance of practitioner involvement in research and development in ensuring future tools and technologies satisfy the current needs.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

Hearing is one of our most pervasive senses. There is no equivalent to closing our eyes, or averting our gaze, for the ears. When we think about great architectural achievements in European history, such as ancient amphitheatres or Gothic cathedrals, their importance is strongly tied to their acoustic environment. The acoustics of a heritage site is an intangible consequence of the space’s tangible construction and furnishings. Inspired by the project’s namesake (Phé, for the constellation Phoenix), and the relatively recent fires at Cathédrale de Notre Dame de Paris and Teatro La Fenice opera hall, the PHE project focuses on virtual reconstruction of heritage sites, bringing them back from the ashes. In addressing the intangible acoustic heritage of architectural sites, three main objectives have been identified for this research project: Documentation, Modelling, and Presentation. In parallel, three heritage sites are participating as case studies: Tindari Theatre (IT), Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral (FR), and The Houses of Parliament (UK). The acoustics of a space is immersive, spatial, and due to the nature of auditory perception egocentric, in contrast to visual perception of an object, which can be observed from “outside”. Consequently, presentation methods for communicating acoustic heritage must represent the spatially immersive and listener-centric nature of acoustics. PHE will lead development of a museum grade hardware/software prototype for the presentation of immersive audio experiences adaptable to multiple platforms, from off-site immersive speaker installations, to mobile XR via smartphone applications.

{The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris in 2019 and the one at Gran Teatro La Fenice opera hall in Venice in 1996 are reminders of the fragile nature of humanity’s cultural heritage. Fortunately, acoustic measurements, numerical simulations, and digital reconstructions can recover—and to some extent preserve—the sound of humanity’s great architectural sites.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

Audio Description for film and television is a pre-recorded track that uses verbal descriptions to provide information on visual aspects of a film or TV programme. In the UK it is currently the only accessibility strategy available for visually impaired audiences and although it provides access to a large number of people, its shortcomings also fail to engage others in audiovisual experiences. The Enhancing Audio Description project explores how digital audio technologies can be applied to the creation of alternatives to Audio Description with the aim of personalising access strategies. Such personalisation would allow users to select the method utilised to access audiovisual experiences, by having choices that include traditional forms of accessibility as well as sound design based methods. The present article analyses the results of a survey and focus groups in which visually impaired participants discussed the advantages and disadvantages of AD and it demonstrates not only the diversity of experiences and needs of visually impaired groups but also their eagerness for change.

abstract = {Audio Description for film and television is a pre-recorded track that uses verbal descriptions to provide information on visual aspects of a film or TV programme. In the UK it is currently the only accessibility strategy available for visually impaired audiences and although it provides access to a large number of people, its shortcomings also fail to engage others in audiovisual experiences. The Enhancing Audio Description project explores how digital audio technologies can be applied to the creation of alternatives to Audio Description with the aim of personalising access strategies. Such personalisation would allow users to select the method utilised to access audiovisual experiences, by having choices that include traditional forms of accessibility as well as sound design based methods. The present article analyses the results of a survey and focus groups in which visually impaired participants discussed the advantages and disadvantages of AD and it demonstrates not only the diversity of experiences and needs of visually impaired groups but also their eagerness for change.},

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

This paper describes features in the ear shape that change across a population of ears and explores the corresponding changes in ear acoustics. The statistical analysis conducted over the space of ear shapes uses a kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). Further, it utilizes the framework of large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping and the vector space that is constructed over the space of initial momentums, which describes the diffeomorphic transformations from the reference template ear shape. The population of ear shapes examined by the KPCA are 124 left and right ear shapes from the SYMARE database that were rigidly aligned to the template (population average) ear. In the work presented here we show the morphological variations captured by the first two kernel principal components, and also show the acoustic transfer functions of the ears which are computed using fast multipole boundary element method simulations.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

Spatial audio content for headphones is often created using binaural rendering of a virtual loudspeaker array. It is important to understand the effect of this choice on the sound quality. A sensory profiling evaluation was used to assess the perceived differences between direct binaural rendering and virtual loudspeaker rendering of a single sound source with and without head tracking and using anechoic and reverberant binaural impulse responses. A subset of the Spatial Audio Quality Inventory (SAQI) was used. Listeners first selected only attributes that they felt applied to the given stimuli. Initial analysis shows that tone colour and source direction are most affected by the use of this technique, but source extent, distance, and externalisation are also affected. Further work is required to analyse the sparse attribute rating data in depth.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

Head and torso simulators are used extensively within acoustic research, often in place of human subjects in time-consuming or repetitive experiments. Particularly common is the Knowles Electronics Manikin for Acoustic Research (KEMAR), which has the acoustic auditory properties of an average human head. As an alternative to physical acoustic measurements, the boundary element method (BEM) is widely used to calculate the propagation of sound using computational models of a scenario. Combining this technique with a compatible 3D surface mesh of KEMAR would allow for detailed binaural analysis of speaker distributions and decoder design – without the disadvantages associated with making physical measurements. This paper details the development and validation of a BEM-compatible mesh model of KEMAR, based on the original computer-aided design (CAD) file and valid up to 20 kHz. Use of the CAD file potentially allows a very close match to be achieved between the mesh and the physical manikin. The mesh is consistent with the original CAD description, both in terms of overall volume and of local topology, and the numerical requirements for BEM compatibility have been met. Computational limitations restrict usage of the mesh in its current state, so simulation accuracy cannot as yet be compared with acoustically measured HRTFs. Future work will address the production of meshes suitable for use in BEM with lower computational requirements, using the process validated in this work.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

This paper describes the generation of a morphable model for external ear shapes. The aim for the morphable model is to characterize an ear shape using only a few parameters in order to assist the study of morphoacoustics. The model is derived from a statistical analysis of a population of 58 ears from the SYMARE database. It is based upon the framework of large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) and the vector space that is constructed over the space of initial momentums describing the diffeomorphic transformations. To develop a morphable model using the LDDMM framework, the initial momentums are analyzed using a kernel based principal component analysis. In this paper, we examine the ability of our morphable model to construct test ear shapes not included in the principal component analysis.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

We describe optimal cue mapping (OCM), a potentially real-time binaural signal processing method for segregating a sound source in the presence of multiple interfering 3D sound sources. Spatial cues are extracted from a multisource binaural mixture and used to train artificial neural networks (ANNs) to estimate the spectral energy fraction of a wanted speech source in the mixture. Once trained, the ANN outputs form a spectral ratio mask which is applied frame-by-frame to the mixture to approximate the magnitude spectrum of the wanted speech. The speech intelligibility performance of the OCM algorithm for anechoic sound sources is evaluated on previously unseen speech mixtures using the STOI automated measures, and compared with an established reference method. The optimized integration of multiple cues offers clear performance benefits and the ability to quantify the relative importance of each cue will facilitate computationally efficient implementations.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

The menu is an important interface component, which appears unlikely to be completely superseded by modern search-based approaches. For someone who is unable to attend a screen visually, however, alternative non-visual menu formats are often problematic. A display is developed in which multiple concurrent words are presented with different amounts of onset asynchrony. The effect of different amounts of asynchrony and word length on task durations, accuracy and workload are explored. It is found that total task duration is significantly affected by both onset asynchrony and word duration. Error rates are significantly affected by both onset asynchrony, word length and their interaction, whilst subjective workload scores are only significantly affected by onset asynchrony. Overall, the results appear to suggest that the best compromise between accuracy, workload and speed may be achieved through presenting shorter or temporally-compressed words with a short inter-stimuli interval.

For someone who is unable to attend a screen visually, however, alternative non-visual menu formats are often problematic. A display is developed in which multiple concurrent words are presented with different amounts of onset asynchrony. The effect of different amounts of asynchrony and word length on task durations, accuracy and workload are explored. It is found that total task duration is significantly affected by both onset asynchrony and word duration. Error rates are significantly affected by both onset asynchrony, word length and their interaction, whilst subjective workload scores are only significantly affected by onset asynchrony. Overall, the results appear to suggest that the best compromise between accuracy, workload and speed may be achieved through presenting shorter or temporally-compressed words with a short inter-stimuli interval.},

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

A new head-related transfer function (HRTF) smoothing algorithm is presented. HRTF magnitude responses are expressed on an equivalent rectangular bandwidth frequency scale and smoothing is increased by progressively discarding the higher frequency Fourier coefficients. A sagittal plane localization model was used to assess the degree of spectral smoothing that can be applied without significant increase in localization error. The results of the localization model simulation were compared with results from a previous perceptual investigation using an algorithm that discards coefficients on a linear frequency scale. Our findings suggest that using a perceptually motivated frequency scale yields similar localization performance using fewer than half the number of coefficients.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

When validating systems that use headphones to synthesise virtual soundsources, a direct comparison between virtual and real sources is sometimes needed. This paper considers the passive influence of headphones on the sound transmission and perception of external loudspeaker sources, for which physical measurements and behavioral data have been obtained. Physical measurements of the effect of a number of headphone models are given and analysed using an auditory filter bank and binaural cue extraction. These highlighted that all of the headphones had an effect on localisation cues and repositioning had a measurable effect. A localisation test was undertaken using one of the best performing headphones from the measurements. It was found thatthe presence of the headphones caused a small increase in localisation error and that the process of judging source location was different, highlighting a possible increase in the complexity of the localisation task.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

This paper introduces a database of freely available stereo-3D content designed to facilitate research in stereo post-production. It describes the structure and content of the database and provides some details about how the material was gathered. The database includes examples of many of the scenarios characteristic to broadcast footage. Material was gathered at different locations including a studio with controlled lighting and both indoor and outdoor on-location sites with more restricted lighting control. The database also includes video sequences with accompanying 3D audio data recorded in an Ambisonics format. An intended consequence of gathering the material is that the database contains examples of degradations that would be commonly present in real-world scenarios. This paper describes one such artefact caused by uneven exposure in the stereo views, causing saturation in the over-exposed view. An algorithm for the restoration of this artefact is proposed in order to highlight the usefuiness of the database.

This paper presents a subjective assessment of the plausibility of a non-individualised dynamic binaural sound system, created using a dataset of binaural room impulse responses measured with a dummy head microphone. A signal detection theory analysis was carried out on the results, to assess the sensory difference between the simulation and reality. The design and objective validation of the system is also presented. A small but meaningful sensory difference was observed between real and binaurally simulated loudspeaker sounds.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

This paper describes a method to establish an average human ear shape across a population of ears by se-quentially applying the Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM) framework at successively smaller physical scales. Determining such a population average ear shape, also referred to here as a template ear, is an essential step in studying the statistics of ear shapes because it allows the variations in ears to be studied relative to a common template shape. Our interest in the statistics of ear shapes stems from our desire to understand the relationship between ear morphology and the head-related impulse response (HRIR) filters that are essential for rendering 3D audio over headphones. The shape of the ear varies among listeners and is as individualized as a fingerprint. Because the acoustic filtering properties of the ears depend on their shape, the HRIR filters required for rendering 3D audio are also individualized. The contribution of this work is the demonstration of a sequential multiscale approach to creating a population template ear shape using the LDDMM framework. In particular we apply our sequential multiscale algorithm to a small population of synthetic ears in order to analyse its performance given a known reference ear shape.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

Perceptually vibrato is known to be an important characteristic in choral singing, with conductors specifically directing singers in their use of vibrato when considering ‘choral blend’, tuning, expression and taste. Particularly in Renaissance and Baroque repertoire vibrato is conventionally used as an ornament, and current convention in vocal ensemble performance is to restrict the use of vibrato for musical affect at specific moments in the music, such as at the resolution of a suspension. Whilst vibrato in solo singing is well-researched, consideration of vibrato behaviour of individuals in an ensemble setting is still in its infancy. This is in part due to the difficulty of isolating the individual voices for analysis. In order to construct a method for analysing vocal characteristics of individual singers within a group, a protocol was designed and pilot tested. Laryngograph and audio recordings were made of student vocal quartets from the University of York. The laryngograph data for each singer was analysed to extract fundamental frequency data. The fundamental frequency data was then used to analyse vibrato characteristics of the individual singers, considering in particular adapting vibrato for ‘choral blend’ and the use of vibrato as a musical ornament in suspensions. The perceptual relevance of the vibrato behaviour was assessed through a listening test. The results of vibrato characteristics of individual singers are considered alongside their perceptual relevance.

title = "Analysing changing vibrato behaviour in solo voice ensemble singing",
abstract = "Perceptually vibrato is known to be an important characteristic in choral singing, with conductors specifically directing singers in their use of vibrato when considering ‘choral blend’, tuning, expression and taste. Particularly in Renaissance and Baroque repertoire vibrato is conventionally used as an ornament, and current convention in vocal ensemble performance is to restrict the use of vibrato for musical affect at specific moments in the music, such as at the resolution of a suspension. Whilst vibrato in solo singing is well-researched, consideration of vibrato behaviour of individuals in an ensemble setting is still in its infancy. This is in part due to the difficulty of isolating the individual voices for analysis. In order to construct a method for analysing vocal characteristics of individual singers within a group, a protocol was designed and pilot tested. Laryngograph and audio recordings were made of student vocal quartets from the University of York. The laryngograph data for each singer was analysed to extract fundamental frequency data. The fundamental frequency data was then used to analyse vibrato characteristics of the individual singers, considering in particular adapting vibrato for ‘choral blend’ and the use of vibrato as a musical ornament in suspensions. The perceptual relevance of the vibrato behaviour was assessed through a listening test. The results of vibrato characteristics of individual singers are considered alongside their perceptual relevance. The accuracy of the data is also considered alongside the implications of applying this protocol to analyse other vocal characteristics in choral singers.",

When validating systems that use headphones to synthesise virtual sound sources, a direct comparison between virtual and real sources is sometimes needed. This paper presents objective and subjective measurements of the influence of headphones on external loudspeaker sources. Objective measurements of the effect of a number of headphone models are given and analysed using an auditory filter bank and binaural cue extraction. Objective results highlight that all of the headphones had an effect on localisation cues. A subjective localisation test was undertaken using one of the best performing headphones from the measurements. It was found that the presence of the headphones caused a small increase in localisation error but also that the process of judging source location was different, highlighting a possible increase in the complexity of the localisation task.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

The baroque trumpet like many reconstructed or original historical instruments is very difficult to play compared to its modern day equivalent. It is commonly accepted that historically informed performances need a specialist baroque trumpeter performing on a specialist instrument in order to achieve the desired sound. Particularly, there are certain timbral characteristics and expectations concerning the range of dynamics employed that are highlighted by today’s early music conductors and players as being unique to and expected of the baroque trumpet. An opportunity arose to record a world-renowned baroque trumpeter playing original trumpets from 1780, 1788, 1912 and 1967 in the fully (6-sided) acoustic anechoic chamber at the University of York. Due to his strong instinct as a player that the mouthpiece is the most significant timbral characteristic of the instrument, performances on the later two trumpets were recorded using two different mouthpieces. The spectral characteristics of each of the instruments and the impact of changing the mouthpiece are analysed in terms of the spectral correlates of audible differences integral to the sound quality of each.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

Previous studies on the pitch of long-duration vibrato tones have typically used synthesised modulator tones to assess the perceived pitch in relation to its arithmetic or geometric mean fundamental frequency. In this study a listening test was conducted with expert listener subjects matching recorded vibrato tones sung by professional singers using a method of adjustment and free response paradigm as employed by van Besouw et al. Example tones selected from recordings by 16 singers were used in the test, 8 of whom were employed at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and the remaining singers specialised in Early Music Performance. A previous study by Daffern (2008) in the vibrato usage by these singers shows a noticeable use difference in the use of vibrato between these performance groups, particularly in extent throughout long tones. The impact of these differences in vibrato will be assessed in terms of the perception of fundamental frequency in long tones as performed by the two groups of singer, and the effectiveness of using real recordings to assess listener perception of vibrato tones will be discussed.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

We present a frequency domain technique for investigating the relationship between acoustic properties of the human hearing system and the morphology responsible for creating them. Exploiting reciprocity, the boundary element method is applied to determine head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) for various directions and distances from a surface mesh model of a head and pinnae. Small orthogonal surface harmonic deformations are applied to the mesh one at a time and stored in a database together with the resulting, approximately linear, changes to the HRTFs (delta HRTFs). Once the computationally intensive process of constructing the database has been completed, identifying the morphological origins of arbitrary acoustic spectral features is very rapid. The method, which we term morphoacoustic perturbation analysis in the frequency domain (MPA-FD), is outlined and a proof-of-principle implementation described. MPA-FD is demonstrated by using it to determine the regions of the pinna responsible for determining the centre frequency of an HRTF notch and a peak. The predictions show good agreement with direct acoustic measurements.

An experiment was conducted comparing two subject groups, each comprised of eight professional singers specializing in a genre of classical music: early music or grand opera. Electroglottography was used to consider vocal characteristics idiomatic to each genre. Whilst there are clear differences in contact quotient between subjects, particularly when relationships between fundamental frequency (f0) and contact quotient (Qx) are considered, there is no apparent link between contact quotient behaviour and performance specialism based on the results of this sample.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

Crosstalk cancellation provides a means of delivering binaural stimuli to a listener for psychoacoustic research which avoids many of the problems of using headphones in experiments. Using a highly sensitive discrimination paradigm, which addressed a variety of issues in previous, headphone-based experiments, this study aimed to determine whether a system using individual crosstalk cancellation filters can present binaural stimuli that are perceptually indistinguishable from a real sound source. The fast deconvolution with frequencydependent regularization method was used to design crosstalk cancellation filters. The reproduction loudspeakers were positioned at90 degrees azimuth, and the synthesized location was 0 degrees azimuth. Eight listeners were tested with noise, click trains, and pulsed tone stimuli. For the pulsed tone stimuli subjects were unable to discriminate between real and virtual sources. For the noise and click stimuli discrimination was marginally above chance, but well below the threshold of detection. That is, weak cues did exist but they were almost completely unreliable. The results suggest that this method of producing individualized crosstalk cancellation filters is suitable for binaural perceptual experiments.

[BibTeX] [Abstract]

This paper considers the characteristics of three differing styles of singing early music, as characterized by Richard Bethell [1] of the National Early Music Association, UK. In particular, the sung outputs from a postgraduate soprano who was practiced in singing all three styles are analysed along with the output from an electrolaryngograph which provides data on cycle-by-cycle fundamental variation as well as vocal fold contact area. The results are compared and contrasted with those from a group of early music and opera singers analysed previously.
