Guest jim Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Alright lads I'm just investigating the possibility of using it to identify and and score overtones of certain sounds (e.g. a rich bell sound with lots of partials) in a totally instrumental (i.e. no electronics involved in performance) piece for soprano and ensemble. Ideally i'd like to bypass any study of algorithms etc. and just write the partials down to the nearest 1/4 or 1/8 tone. Does anyone know of some kind of standalone (freeware?) program that can quickly and accurately analyze a sample/ live audio feed and give frequency values for all the overtones? Translating these to pitches should be no problem with the use of a graph or chart of pitch vs frequency.

Guest Adjective Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 this seems a little over my head, but made me think of SPEAR http://www.klingbeil.com/spear Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/29611-fft-analysis/#findComment-626488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 any free spectral analysis prog should do this. try this one. it's pretty accurate Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide pylonbitch's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/29611-fft-analysis/#findComment-626508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
