[QUOTE="Nick Wyver, post: 170346, member: 619"] Well, yes. But it's still probably the only sensible way of going about it. Humans are too variable. Here's a little experiment that most here could do. Record yourself playing a long note, holding it as steady as possible. Plonk the recording into something like Audacity or Transcribe!. Sample the spectrum of the note at different points along its length. Note the lack of similarity. This is the same sax, reed, mouthpiece and even the same note. Take the reed off and put it on again. Record the same note. Sample it again. Even more differences. Change any of the variables and it gets worse. Using real people in any experiment just obliges you to do hundreds of recordings and subject them to some sort of statistical analysis. It'd take forever. [/QUOTE]
