Training: Interference

Please rate the interference

This is a training page for you to familiarise yourself with the user interface and also listen to examples of the type of sounds involved. For this test, you should rate the interference of the test sounds compared with the reference sound.

Interference describes the loudness of the instruments compared to the loudness of the vocals. For example, ‘strong interference’ indicates a strong contribution from other instruments, whereas ‘no interference’ means that you can only hear the vocals.

Interference does not include artefacts or distortions that you may perceive.

• Click the Reference button to play the reference sound.
• Click the Stop button to stop playback. This will also reset the audio to the start.
• Use the slider buttons to listen to the different test sounds.
• You can then rate the interference of each sound by dragging the slider button along the track.
• Click the Sort button to sort the sliders by rating.
