The listening tests with different filters were done with a wide variety of music from different labels. The presumption is that not all of these recordings were made with the same filters. We did not find an effect where the sound of a simple or complex filter was influenced by the recording. The simple filter sounded better on everything. I was a bit surprised by this, the effects of the simple filter are things like increase audibility of the recording acoustic environment. I expected that close miced multi trac, overdubbed recordings would show little difference, but this was not the case. They too seemed much fuller, more open, more alive. So while there may very well be an interaction with filters used in the production of the recording, these interactions seem to be much smaller than the difference between complex and simple filters.
