Then you compare the two using a software ABX DBT

Do you happen to know of a Mac variant?


Not likely to be one - Mac users believe in magic anyway
so wouldn't need one :-)


The JAVA ABX comparator can be downloaded from:

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/...e=post&id=5692

Just do a "save as" on the above Link and you should be offered a download
of

abchr_java_0.53a_bin.zip


http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp is the general source of Sun JRE
for all hardware platforms but that page suggests that Macs with OS/X come
loaded with this software pre-loaded. Just make sure you have the
latest-greatest version.

Inside abchr_java_0.53a_bin.zip file are two files, one of which is
abchr.jar .

Extract and open the abchr.jar file, and after a few seconds you should see
the opening menu for the ABC/hr - ABX comparator. Select ABX and plug in
the names of the two audio files you want to compare. Post any questions
here.
