With technological advancements, audio engineering has evolved from a domain exclusive
to professionals to one open to amateurs. However, research is limited on the accessibility of …

This study investigates loudness perception in real-world contexts using predictors related to
the sound, situation, or person. In the study, 105 participants recorded 6594 sound …

Music production is a highly subjective task, which can be difficult to automate. Simple
session structures can quickly expose complex mathematical tasks which are difficult to …

Background People who use a cochlear implant together with a contralateral hearing aid—
so-called bimodal listeners—have poor localisation abilities and sounds are often not …

The measurement of perceived loudness is a difficult yet important task with a multitude of
applications such as loudness alignment of complex stimuli and loudness restoration for the …

Historically, the junior engineer is an individual who would assist the sound engineer to
produce a mix by performing a number of mixing and pre-processing tasks ahead of the …

Our experience of the physical world is mediated by our senses, but while most people have
five senses, interactions with computer systems are largely limited to the visual sense. When …

This thesis investigates the application of perceptual models to areas of audio engineering,
with a particular focus on music production. The goal was to establish efficient and practical …

Multi-zone sound field control allows individuals to listen to personalised audio content
whilst sharing a physical space. Applications of this technology include home entertainment …
