Friday, iLounge ran an article in their news section about a new iTunes add-on, iDFX. I got into a back and forth with the progam's developer and, since iLounge would rather keep potential advertisers happy instead of me, turns out once again I got tossed into the "miserable user" queue (or whatever their article comment software calls it) where I "mysteriously" get errors whenever I go to post a new comment, but "mysteriously" only comments on subjects I've been a bit cantankerous about.

There's three short 40 second mp3s in the zip file.
One is a true back and forth between the DFX processed audio and the non-processed audio like Paul originally showed in the YouTube video. The other two are "fakes". One is all DFX processed audio, but with alternating portions reduced in volume the identical amount the DFX processing boosted the volume. One is all non-processed audio, but with alternating portions amplified the identical amount the DFX processing boosted the volume. See if you can tell which is which and if it really sounds like there's a real difference between the processed and non-processed audio once the trickery of non-matched volume levels is accounted for...
