This post is just a stub to connect you to a YouTube video of a talk I presented to musicians about understanding human hearing. It covers human testing, tonal balance, and spatial hearing. It includes several demonstrations and it is intended to be useful to the general public. It does not assume any prior knowledge of how hearing works. I hope you find it interesting and enjoyable.
The talk is called Psychoacoustics for Performers and it is about 52 minutes long. It was recorded before a live audience on May 5, 2008 at the Switzerland Inn in Little Switzerland, North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The talk was given during a three-day conference for musicians and DJ’s, one of a series of such conferences sponsored by Bose Corporation in support of users of its L1 Portable Line Array products. The recording was much improved by the editing efforts of Ken Jacob of Bose. During my talk, Ken also took the photo attached to this post.
