Indeed. Inappropriate, particularly during his absence (apart from being #12 rule violation).You are misquoting Scott and you know it.
Scott Wurcer objection to ‘effect boxes’ refers to amplifying devices which ought to be frequency response flat yet they aren’t.

Useful for what?On average there is probably useful information,
Quoted for future reference.Where I have a problem is with causal explanations about humans expressed with certainty without appropriate supporting experimental confirmation. That's nothing new on my part, I have always been leery of unsupported certainty regarding causal explanations.

I don't believe that to be true. For example, he also doesn't like HD generators in amplifiers or dacs.
In fact, I believe his objections go against doing anything that would detract from measured reproduction accuracy. Obviously, corrective EQ can be measurably shown to improve reproduction accuracy so it is okay.
Have a nice day 🙂
According to soundbloke as long as we accept nothing we hear is real and that everyone exists in their own personal surrealism it’s ok.
Some physicists suggest that the whole of our reality is similar. Reality is made by our minds.

you refer to time and frequency (?), which are actually representations of the same thing.
Yes. They are related but the text books on human hearing that i have read say that the systems the ear/brain uses to deal with these 2 things are largely separate.

Then you have misunderstood those books. Time and frequency are conjugate variables and the information described by one is apparent in the other.
...in the sense that our brains aren't overlaying a pre-heard version of what it thinks a particular instrument should sound like...
When we listen we do fill in the missing parts. i noted this in particular with some classical musicians — people who tend to be very familiar with those instrumants.

We need a hearing expert here, I don't think things are quite that clear cut.Then you have misunderstood those books. Time and frequency are conjugate variables and the information described by one is apparent in the other.
Jakob, I believe, knows the proper terminology, about audio "objects" or something similar?When we listen we do fill in the missing parts. i noted this in particular with some classical musicians — people who tend to be very familiar with those instrumants.

thats what i meant by excuses a ways back, kindly puts a long leash on accountability.....almost as long as a weather forecaster.

Barring an account of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and how the brain might dynamically manipulate its consequences, they are.

No, reality is perceived in our minds.
see it's blanket statements like that.....it sounds like your just messing around for sport!
touch it, feel it, see it, hear it......its real to me.
unless one partakes in hallucinogenics that is
edit.....do you have to think about it before something is real? reality exists no matter what I think.

The difference between reality and our perceptions is an important consideration in this thread that is not well understood by some. What was wrong with a statement making that clear?

Exactly. Your perception models reality as and when it needs to. Your perception does not create reality.
Agreed, something audible may miss perception if not given enough attention.The difference between reality and our perceptions is an important consideration ...

Agreed, but something may also be perceived that does not emanate from reality and certainty is often misappropriated.
is there really that big a divide?
They are related in that your brain that creates your perception is real and the task of your brain is to model reality with as much fidelity as is required. But your perception is only a model of the information in the sound pressures at your ears.
again glaringly obvious.....the point to this is something that anyone whose frontal lobe is connected should have figured out.
