I have already figured out why current --nspsytune spend too much bits for tonal parts. I told all of my new ideas to Takehiro, and Takehiro is now working to implement some of them. I also want to do that myself, but I'm now very busy. I have not changed JS related algorithms, so currently

Hi Roel! In order to get the (much) higher --nspsytune filesizes down, I used "--athlower -21" (or -20--23) to compensate. [seems to go negative :)] I'm sorry to say, but in my opinion it is a really bad idea to lower the file size with that --athlower switch, you are tweaking at the wrong

Hi Mark, Mark Right now, the spreading function Mark is normalized so that (for example) convolving s3 with a constant Mark function will not remove any energy and return the same constant. Is there any reason why energy should be preserved here? Mark After the spreading function is

There is a relation between sound pressure level and sound intensity level if there is a plain wave (in german "ebene Schallwelle") L = 20*lg(p/p0) dB = 10*lg(I/I0) dB p0 := 2E-5 Pa I0 := 1E-12 W/m^2 1W = 1 Nm/s for coherent sounds one uses the sound pressure (coherent sounds:
