The Blind VST tool is presented to aid perceptual testing of real time applied digital audio signal processing in professional mixing situations. The software was designed in MaxMSP and runs as a standalone application or MaxMSP external. It hosts any Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plug-in for blind, singular control of any and all accessible VST parameters. Visual biasing from the identification and response of the VST’s graphical user interface (GUI) is removed. All user data is recorded in real time. The author proposes this tool as a freely distributed academic resource. It is best integrated as an add-on module for training and research applications when determining audible signal quality, comparison and the analysis of audio descriptors.
