We know a nice octave is a ratio in frequency slightly higher than 2:1.
Is this also affected by the fact that a higher intensity at higher frequencies gives lower pitch.
Experiments should be done very carefully at low intensity.
When good musicians play they take care of all of this automatically. They play by ear.
But how do they make sure that the listener hears the same? Same question for a conductor. Is the job easier for a producer to judge as he, she is sitting in front of speakers? What is the best reference level?
