for a while anytime I have posted up full mixes the biggest nits I got are "Your mix leans left?" and "your mix / vocals lack high end sparkle"
turns out my left ear has some issues with the bass freq's from about 500hz and down and I'd be compensating for that and it would be throwing off my mixes a bit. Kinda cool. She said that what i am having issues hearing on the left aren't so great that it is obvious and my brain just kind of rides it's own EQ with the right ear and that is probably where the issue lies.
In other really cool news though, i made it into a very tiny percent of people who made it to the end of a particular test. It started out with background noise that sounded like you were in a packed pub or gathering place and then a woman's voice would say a sentence and I'd have to repeat back what she said in full. each sentence that was read out, the background crowd chatter got more loud and obnoxious. Most people only make it about 4 of the 6 levels in and she stops. I made it all he way to end on each ear and managed to pick out three words on the left ear and four on the right on the very last level. She said she might see five or six people a year that make it to the end and at most those folks can only pick out one or two words.
I feel like i deserve a prize but alas, all i got was a 95 dollar invoice.
