Device list
- earbuds (Sabbat 12xpor)
- outdoor speeker (Anker soundcore 2)
- Iphone 15 speaker
why I picked this devices
I picked these diveices becuse of the differanceses between the divices. For example the sabbat 12Xpros have biult in noise caonceling this was a great way to isolate the sound compered to the Anker soundcore that is intended for out door use therefore it can handle louder sound without clipping and distorting the sound. The reasion I chose the Iphone speakers is becuse the speakers in the Iphone will other the most mainstream experiance as this woill test how the song sounds in the context of promotin thrugh media this can help me with fintuneing the promotin to mix it to better suit the design of the speakers that are in use.
Anker speeker test
In this video
I n this video There is two sections the rebguler sections that are showcaseing the parts thrugh the speaker and the bulred parts that show the raw audio. I made this video by recording thrugh an Iphone 15 for good mic quality to pick up the best sound. I think I may have made a slight trade off by filming and recording at the same time as the speakers are not directly pointed and level with the gight of the speaker this could have given the test some verabillty due to the physics in play with sound quality. These effects include the inverse squere law that steates as the distance of doubles from a sound the sound intensity decteases by 6DB. This is important to acount for when capturing audio for optimal resoults.
The sound differances
I think the differance here is not that noticable. I think realy the only garing part of the mix is the drum proesence I think the drums could sound more present as they are one of the main drivieing forces of the track. This can be heared with the two drum breaks in the track and the double bass section near the ed of the track, I think in future I need to be mindfull of this as for this mix the drums needed to be limited to provent clupping in the mix. I think I could do this with better EQ and by propply ajusting the effects taht are on the drums.
Headphone test (earbuds)
The sabbat X12 pro where the heaphones I tryed this wit . This was becuse of the oniscancling I thught I would give a more isolated sound that would allow me to let me to ctritcly analyse the mix quality of this composition. I think that the mix was good and provided my mix with a good amount of waighting in to bass wilst still giveing the guitars and drums good presence I still think that my critsisme from the previous test carrys over with the drums being less present this helped me with getting a stronger idea on how my mix was and how I could improve int he future. I could not fin a way to showcase this thrugh a recording as ther isnt realy away to capture earbud audio therefore I unfortionatly cannot showcase this test in full detail.
