Thread-topic: [Academic study] Subjective evaluation of Time-Scaled Audio (~10 minutes)

Hi All,

Sorry to be that person to send this multiple times, but I'm still looking for participants for this study.

As part of my PhD I am conducting large scale subjective testing of audio that has been processed using different Time-Scale Modification algorithms, and I would appreciate your assistance. To facilitate this I have used the Web Audio Evaluation Tool to enable subjective testing through a browser, and am conducting the research under Griffith University Ethics Reference 2018/671.

The subjective testing can be found at http://www.timrobertssound.com.au/TSM/index.html with each set taking approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. You are able to complete as many or as few sets as you prefer.

I currently have ~16600 ratings of files, with the goal to reach 25000. It turns out that people know when audio sounds good and bad, but quality ratings vary quite a bit in the middle. I've added a plot of the current responses to a reddit post requesting assistance. https://www.reddit.com/r/SampleSize/comments/b40q7w/repostacademic_rating_the_quality_of_time_scaled/
