I'm curious as to how Capstan distinguishes between flutter and
vibrato -- or simply the fact that even a note played without intentional
vibrato might not have a steady pitch.
With vibrato it will be one component of the sound only (the voice)
that has the wobble. Flutter moves everything simultaneously and
equally.
Aren't you aware of how violins (for example) are played?
So... How does Capstan "know" what it's listening to (analyzing)?
Have you ever tried Melodyne? And perhaps more importantly, do you
think that all of the violins synchronize their vibrato? They don't,
specifically to make the sound "fatter". When you have many sounds,
all with slightly different vibrato patterns, then you do not have any
flutter to correct. It is only when EVERY sound moves in synchronism
that a correction is required.
And here's an example of why I'm so insistent on defining "science"
as the process of asking the right questions. These are my "right
questions" about Capstan -- Has anyone ever applied it to a purely
digital recording? If so, what happened?
In a purely digital recording, why would you need to? None of the
mechanisms that it is trying to correct exist in a purely digital
recording.
Do you see, people? Do you see why trying to get people to think critically
is a losing battle?
No idea what you are talking about. Is it wow or flutter in an
entirely digital system that you are seeking to correct?
My two "right questions" stand.
Your first question is good, and I hope I have answered it. Your
second question is, I'm afraid, meaningless.
