Subject: Re: An inquiry of a reference about loudness models From: Ramin Pichevar <Ramin.Pichevar@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 11:53:45 -0500 http://www.usherbrooke.ca/vers/virus-courrielDear Kaisu, The following two papers deal with "loudness". The second paper compares ten different "loudness meters" from different companies and scientific papers. G. Soulodre and M. Lavoie, "Stereo and Multichannel Loudness Perception and Metering", AES (Audio Engineering Society) Convention, Paper 6618, Oct. 2005 G. Soulodre, "Evaluation of Objective Loudness Meters", AES Convention, Paper 6161, May 2004. Best, Ramin -----Message d'origine----- De : AUDITORY Research in Auditory Perception [mailto:AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx De la part de Kaisu Krohn Envoyé : Friday, March 31, 2006 4:46 AM À : AUDITORY@xxxxxxxx Objet : An inquiry of a reference about loudness models Dear Auditory list, I would have wished to ask for your help in finding a certain reference. I heard from one professor of Acoustics about an article in which several loudness models for musical signals were tested. In this article, the authors came up with a conclusion that the loudness models didn't necessarily apply in all cases to musical signals since the models usually have been targeted for stationary wideband signals - such as continuous white noise or filtered noise. Unfortunately the professor couldn't recall the exact reference to this work. Would anyone of you know how to find this article? Also, other references related to this topic are of course very welcome! Very many thanks for your suggestions! Best wishes, Kaisu Krohn email: kaisu.krohn@xxxxxxxx
