Hello, I have a question about levels in Faust.
I have been experimenting with various noise sources in Faust, including the contents of noises.lib. I find that when trying to design music/sound with these sources, it’s helpful to get them all to a similar audible level. So I’ve started keeping a list of coefficients, to adjust the different generators to approximately equal amplitudes. I got into this while making a sound-effects generator using noise. I needed to select between no.noise, no.gnoise and no.pink_noise without an audible change in the levels. Those three generators produce significantly different absolute levels; To match them (approximately), I multiply no.gnoise by 0.625, and no.pink_noise by 12.5. I believe that more exact values can be determined mathematically but I mostly used trial & error & a Faust dB meter. I arbitrarily chose no.noise as the 1.0 reference level. I wonder if I am duplicating existing work here. Do such coefficients exist somewhere in Faust already? If not, and it it sounds useful, I'd be happy to contribute a simple library for this, or to add the coefficients to other libraries (noises.lib and oscillators.lib) in some agreeable format. -mykle- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Faudiostream-users mailing list Faudiostream-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/faudiostream-users
