Don't know if anyone has tried this yet, but it's interesting. There's
also a downloadable phase reverse file for further consideration.

I really like the Liquid Mix. To me, it sounds great as a plugin at any price
point, but considering the price, I think it's fantastic...

FWIW

Yeah, I listened to them and really could not hear a preference. I ran
some simple tests with my UAD1 and my hardware UREI 1176LN and could not
hear a preference there either. I must say the Liquid Mix is a bargain
for what all you get.

Hmmm... interesting... i just took this challenge, but I didn't
really try to guess which one the Liquid Mix was (never heard
it, therefore how the fuck could i pick it out?), but rather
went under the pretense that I would automatically pick the one
that sounded "worse" to my ear as the Liquid Mix in each
case...

....in doing so, I only got 30% of them RIGHT.

I just took the challenge, also assuming I would like the Liquid mix less,
not ever having heard it. I got 60% right. This was through cheap tiny speakers
on my internet computer.

You doubled my score - you rat-bastard! lol
I went with whichever one i thought sounded thinner, or less
high-fidelity as the LiquidMix. If both sounded good, but one
sounded "smoother", that was the one I picked as the analog
clip... not all that scientific, perhaps, but it gave me
a "control" group, in a way - the hypothetical center where I
wasn't guessing, but was rather making my selections on
preconceived notions of digital processing.

Kudos to Mucusrite... I may have to get one of these now!

Keep in mind with ABY testing you're actually going against a coin flip, so
while he did 'double' your score he did so by being 10% better than a coin
flip while you were 20% worse.

The liquid mix completely sucks. None of you should even think of buying it.
I'm very upset they are showing its unconscionable level of suck by publishing
these tests, as they might convince people who do not own one to change that
fact. Leave them in the hands of those of us unfortunate to have been swindled
by Focusrite. Please.

Raises hand for RED7 here, though it's an old one with a SN in the 400's. I
heard they quit using the same transformer or took out the input transformer
entirely, or something like that on the newer RED7's........but anyway, mine
sucketh not..
