It proves... well... uh... the frequency response! Next time, try to CONTRIBUTE to the conversation.
But you are aware that frequency response is influenced by the whole signal chain? Mixer, cables, soundcard...and I guess everybody here has a different setup in that respect.
Stilo.
I am very aware of that, I have been a sound engineer with 15 years commercial experence, 40 albums, film soundtracks under my belt, designed and built analogue audio equipment myself...
This was why in my test, I measured my mixing desk as a seperate test, so I could see how that was affecting the measurments. This is also why I asked anyone who wanted to do this test to do the same measurment on their mixing desk / converter setup, so we could compensate for it. Things like cables should show no frequency anomolies for the normal studio runs and for standard cable, if a cable has a frequency response that is not flat, it is a very badly designed cable. We shouldn't get into the hifi mentality for this test, if we were to do that, we would have all MPC's set up in a listening room, with some blind ABX testing system (can be arranged!).
Anyway, this isn't the most acurate test, to do that I would get all MPC's into a lab and run proper tests. This is just some fun and an interesting test for people to do, if anyone can be bothered! This is a quick-and-cheerfull 5 minute test to get a rough sketch of what happens to audio in MPC's.
