Claim One:
1. A quantitative evaluation method for use on a signal dynamics modifier device, comprising using a signal dynamics modifier device which modifies at least one input signal into at least one output signal; measuring the at least one input signal and at least one output signal; displaying the at least one input signal and at least one output signal; using a software application, embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, for characterizing the effects of the signal dynamics modifier device on signal dynamic properties by using statistical analysis of digitized signal samples as time variant amplitude value data; calculating, over selected time period, for both the at least one input signal and the at least one output signal, the probability density functions for both signal peaks and signal short term r.m.s. values; and comparing the characteristics of these two sets of probability density functions by calculating median r.m.s. value; maximum peak value considered statistically significant by a user; minimum r.m.s. value considered statistically significant by the user; ratios of the aforementioned median, maximum and minimum values; other statistical characteristics including standard deviation, skew and kurtosis; and composites of the above characteristics; and adjusting the signal dynamics modifier device, based on one or more of the calculations.
