Of course, this Yip critter has ignored the followup article
pointing out some real music one could use to excite the same problems
in the same algorithms.
Then, this Yip person proceeds to ad-hominem attacks.
You, Yip, are incapable of learned discourse. You are unable to
understand what a followup is, unable to use your mental facilities
to figure out what one might listen to in MUSIC to hear the same
sorts of effects, and seem concerned only with prating about
your superiority to people who actually know what they're doing.
I don't know why I bother with this newsgroup. Yip, I expect an
apology forthwith. You had no need to be insulting, you had no need
to go raving about "... music- oriented..." and so on. You COULD
have asked "what sort of music has these effects", but you didn't,
you went for the rhetorically dishonest cheap-shot instead,
showing us all that you don't CARE about quality, or about
careful testing procedures (because you aren't interested in
critical material), but you DO care about attacking your fellow
human just for the heck of it.
Why don't you go join Kurt and Sud, those two people who put
words in my mouth to shoot down, when they realize they're wrong
and can't refute the ones I've said, in your own newsgroup,
oh, say, let's call it "rec.audio.I.dont.care.about.quality".
No, that doesn't fit for Kurt, he cares about quality, to his
own metrics (i.e. preference), so it has to be something different.
Tell you what, let's have a contest. Everyone post their proposal
for a newsgroup to include Sud, Strain, Yip, and that fellow who
wrote the intemperate anti-lp ravings I just 'n'ed past.
