To facili= tate this I have used the Web Audio Evaluation Tool to enable subjective te= sting through a browser, and am conducting the research under Griffith Univ= ersity Ethics Reference 2018/671. A massive thank you to everyone who has been involved already. As of this = morning almost 32000 opinion scores have been given heading towards the goa= l of 37000 opinion scores (7 ratings per file). This means that there are = only 92 sets out of 532 sets to go. The subjective testing can be found at http://www.timrobertssound.com.au/TS= M/index.html with each set taking approximately 10 minutes to complete. Yo= u are able to complete as many or as few sets as you prefer. Once testing is complete a MOS labelled data set will be released (with a p= aper of course) containing the 88 source files and 5280 processed files. 1= 0 playback rates ranging from 30% to 200% have been used with 6 TSM algorit= hms, Phase Vocoder, Identity Phase Locking Phase Vocoder, Harmonic Percussi= ve TSM, WSOLA, Mel-Scale TSM and FESOLA). The data set contains Speech (M&= F), singing, solo instruments, percussion, complex music (recorded and synt= hesised) and sound effect style sounds. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to contact me. A= lso, please feel free to pass the link through to anyone who you believe ma= y be interested in this research.
