AA1 Week 11


Playing with the FFTs was quite a bit of fun, and i can see how they would be able to create some cool sounds, however i would only use to for this, not for real pitch shifting applications, especially with plogue, its real time nature is fantastic for the "cool sounds" domain, but not for natural pitch modification applications. I am prepared to wait a few seconds for extra processing.

The Bidule aspect of FFTs is much easier to play with, treating each process like a guitar effect chain is much more hands on, easier to navigate and to play with and fine tune. However this still feeds into the immediate (real time) "cool sounds" domain, not a naturalistic precision domain.

My mp3 is me just playing around with the different parameters, each mixer channel has a different parameter and one has all mixed together, you can easily guess which one has them all mixed together. A few "cool sounds" were made, but nothing to interesting.
