... I imagine FFT would be used at some point, but the problem with
FFT is that it only tells you what "perfect" or pure sine wave based
frequencies are present in a sound. Besides the flute, not much else
in an orchestra has anything close to a sine wave output....
No, that's the whole point of Fourier Analysis. ALL waveforms no
matter how complex can be de-composed into sine waves of various
amplitudes and phases.
