Hi all,

I'm seeking volunteers for a short listening test as part of my research on a novel data compression method I developed and will be submitting to the DAFx26 conference.

The test follows the MUSHRA protocol and consists of 3 speech examples and 3 musical examples. It should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. The test runs entirely in the browser (webMUSHRA backend) and will work on mobile as well.

Any input is greatly appreciated - the link to the test is pasted below. If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly.

Best regards,
Matthew Nielsen
