Hoodie Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just filled it out. When do we get to see the result? I'm also posting this survey on various subreddits. I'm going to wait a couple of days to get the most data I can. Feel free to spread it around to your friends--anyone, even non-musicians. It would help a lot!

Guest RadarJammer Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 5 words is a bit much to describe the sound quality alone, i can think of maybe 3. i can think of a lot of words to describe the sonic quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Out of curiosity, what question are you trying to shed light on with this survey? And what made you choose to set it up this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryancolecreate Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Interesting idea, but I don't really know how much information you will gain from so few, and so open ended questions. You should be more specific, and ask questions with the same answer in different ways for control. I'm curious what the results are, but if I were your professor I would be skeptical about letting you cite such a thin survey as research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest A/D Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I did it. It's interesting for me because I deal with pro digital recording gear and a couple of analog synths. Kind of apples and oranges, but I did my best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of apples and oranges, but I did my best. cool, thanks for filling it out. see, that's why i posted about this on here. it's great to get input from people who actually regularly deal with both types of equipment instead of folks with vague notions about what analogue and digital mean.

joshuatxuk Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Done! Interested in seeing what others said. I'm a big tape fanatic and vintage audio fan but generally listen and record digitally on a daily basis, so actually thinking about analog vs digital sound made me realize things I normally don't think of with the two formats.

Hoodie Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 the survey has now been complete. i got a total of 57 usable responses, great turn out. here's a list of the words in all the responses in alphabetical order with the frequency in parentheses by the word (if there is no number, that means it only appeared once). for analogue, the most frequent words are: alive (7) distortion (7) noisy (10) organic (9) rich (7) warm (31) for digital, the most frequent words are: accurate (7) clean (21) clear (11) cold (18) harsh (8) precise (7) i need to find a better way to analyze this list as there are a lot of synonyms so it could change the results. this is only a preliminary look. thanks for participating! edit: i couldn't attach the list, so here it is copy/pasted.
