New Draft of questionnaire

Upon formatting my questionnaire, I realised that many of my preliminary questions were made obsolete by the others, so I have revised the questions so that there are now 11 rather than the 16 or so there were initially.

my questionnaire now looks as follows (Please note that the blog has messed with the spacing):

Honours Project Questionnaire

Michael Carey

An investigation into how perception of how a live studio recording varies when contrasted with a conventional recording

Overview:

This project aims to determine how peoples perceptions of a song are altered by the use of different recording techniques.

It will be necessary for you to listen to two version of the same song. One has been recorded with each musician playing their own part of the song separately, as is current conventional practice. The other has been recorded as a live band, with vocal parts being recorded and added afterwards in both cases.

Please pay close attention to which version is which before answering the questions
