Traditional / experimental practice
The World of Two Ears · Blind Direction Test
The sound plays in one of three places: on the left, in the centre or on the right. Each time it fades, changes place while silent and returns; close your eyes and point to its direction. The order is mixed, and the same direction can come twice in a row. In the panel's blind test you mark the same three directions: the result appears only at the end and stays on this device. Headphones recommended. A listening practice with no claim of any effect.

Compare with another sound
Hear both at the same loudness; drag the slider to the middle and they blend.
These two sounds can't share one recipe (different tuning or effects): listen to the samples one after the other.
