Removing the fuzz from FuzzMeasure

• Chris Liscio

MLS measurements do not work so well in practice. I think that enough people have solidified this result over the years in research papers, so I do not want to spend much time explaining why. </p> <p> Below I will list some of my high-level reasons for removing MLS: <ol> <li>When using MLS measurements, users do not get good results on low-cost equipment</li> <li>MLS measurements do not take advantage of higher quality DACs on high-end audio devices</li> <li>I believe users find MLS measurements confusing, because their sensitivity to the environment and the device under test could produce junk (spurious peaks) in the results</li> <li>MLS measurements do not have nearly as many configuration possibilities as log sweeps</li> </ol> </p> <p> So, come FuzzMeasure 1.3, say goodbye to the fuzz. If you feel this decision does not make sense, let me know. I think that all my users will appreciate the removal once they see the advanced capabilities that come with 1.3. Also, I think I will attract more new users by making my software even easier to use. </p>
