 \subsection{Listening Environment Standardisation}
 
+In order to reduce the impact of having a non-standardised listening environment and unobservable participants, a series of pre-test standard questions have been put together to ask every participant. The first part of this is that every participant is asked to carry out the test, wherever possible, with a pair of quality headphones.

+There are also a series of considerations that have been made towards ensuring there is a standardised listening environment, so it is possible to
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Begin with standardised listening test - to confirm listening experience
+\item Perform loudness equalisation on all tracks 
+\\** OR THIS SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE THE EXPERIMENT
+\item Randomise order of tests
+\item Randomise order of tracks in each test
+\item Repeat each experiment a number of times

+\\** TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF USER
+\item Track all user interactions with system
