cheers!
here's a result that surprised me (i had assumed otherwise when trying
to predict localisation performance before):
"
In Experiment 2, simultaneous presentation of low- and high-frequency
noises yielded performance that was less accurate than that for
high-frequency noise, but equal to or better than for low-frequency
noise. Results suggest that listeners perceptually weight low-frequency
information heavily, even in reverberant conditions where high-frequency
stimuli are localized more accurately.
"
my gut feeling had always been that in the presence of HF cues, you can
get away with sloppy LF cues (as in, drive all your subs in mono for
maximum ooomph, but the kick sound of the kick drum will make sure it's
localised properly). maybe i was wrong. or maybe their band-limited
noise is just too artificial...
