[music-dsp] Auto-tune sounds like vocoder

2019-01-15 Thread David Reaves
I’m wondering about why the ever-prevalent auto-tune effect in much of today's (cough!) music (cough!) seems, to my ears, to have such a vocoder-y sound to it. Are the two effects related? Just curious. David Reaves ___ dupswapdrop: music-dsp mailing

on. Freezing can possibly be seen as energy storage and stretching can possibly be seen as activity, but unless one ‘feeds' the other and vice-versa, it’s probably not resonance.

. But typically we don’t. The complex physics behind all this is probably more than I can conceive, but it’s still really interesting to poke around the edges. I wonder whether there has ever been a microphone that records absolute pressure, as opposed to pressure changes... Kind Regards, David Reaves

What you are describing sounds a bit like a description of thunder: a sharp, wideband pulse followed by reverberant randomness, (though not spectrally flat due to environmental absorption). Perhaps you can use that as a model? David Reaves Recklinghausen, Germany On Wed, 27 Jul 2016 19:00:02
