I can almost understand python's whole "whitespace is syntactically relevant". I don't like it, but I kind of understand.
But what's the deal with the whole "yeah this comma here at the end of this function call is optional you don't need it but we let you put it there anyway hehe"

Alright well I've confirmed a few things:
1) shrinking the window size doesn't help (also it turns out I was wrong the actual number of samples needed is higher than I thought)
2) filtering doesn't do SQUAT for these purposes
3) this technique seems to be brittle when the fundamental ISN'T one of the frequencies we're looking for (it starts picking out the strongest frequency it IS looking for which can be quite far away depending on the signal presented)
it seems like I might still have some good success doing a bit of simple analysis. Picrel is the flavor of thing I'm thinking of doing. Not exactly it but nice to see I might be on the right track here

It would appear that my idea about a sparse-DFT approach may be confounded for sizes of N which are large. I'm testing with a 1s clip of an audacity pluck sound and it's already getting confused about what the true fundamental is depending on whether the fade-out type is set as "gradual" vs "abrupt"
it's still possible that shrinking the window of analysis would help. According to my calculations the minimum size of window I'll need (given a CD quality sample rate of 44.1kHz) is ~5394 samples, which feels like a reasonable window to capture notes in.
For perspective, if we're taking that time-window as a quarter-note for some song, that song's tempo would be set to about 490 BPM.

@nprofile…qv0m I'd say it depends who you ask. Some people claim to be able to hear the difference, but differentiation between analog and digital becomes very subjective and not easy to replicate once your sample rate gets high enough

2026-06-07 03:32:12 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…qv0m you're right in that vinyl is smooth (i.e. continuous) and computers are sampled (i.e. discrete), and that has broad implications in terms of your analysis. Basically both domains (continuous and discrete) have tools that are analogous to one another but with their own quirks about how they work and how to interpret the results. So you couldn't analyze them in exactly the same way since you'd have to employ different mathematical tools to do it, which means they'll come out a bit differently.
How close they look in analysis is also dependent on how much information you give the discrete version (i.e. how high is the sampling rate, what's the bit-depth, etc). The higher the bit-depth and sampling rate, the closer of an approximation to the continuous signal you get (sort of like how increasing the number of pixels in an image gets you closer and closer to a perfect smooth curve)

2026-06-07 03:09:41 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…qv0m ok so basically when doing signal analysis there's a bunch of different methods, but the easiest to understand are called "Fourier Transforms". They're basically ways of decomposing a signal into a bunch of scaled sine wave components, and that's useful for analysis because then, for example, instead of saying "this sound has a bunch of high frequencies", you can instead say "this sound has a bunch of energy packed into frequencies X/Y/Z" and target those specific frequencies for filtering or alteration.
for the purposes of anyone dealing with computers, you need a discrete form (because computers deal in bits representing sound pressure readings at specific points in time, rather than truly continuous readings). This special discrete form is called the "Discrete Fourier Transform" (usually abbreviated "DFT").
One consequence of making the fourier transform discrete via the DFT is that, for complicated sampling-theory reasons, energy which is contained in frequencies which aren't perfectly represented in the DFT will be spread out across the output frequency bins (i.e. the values of those component sine waves mentioned earlier) - this is called "spectral leakage".
despite that spectral leakage problem, if the DFT contains a sufficient number of frequencies being analyzed, you can reverse it and wind up with the same signal you gave it originally (this is useful because you can then make changes to those sine wave components, do the inverse transform, and get the signal you WOULD'VE gotten had you analyzed the signal that naturally had the new values of those sine wave components).
This is complex stuff though - complex in computational terms (read: expensive/slow to calculate), and because of that there's a whole slew of algorithms that are designed to save work and make the process NOT slow. Most of those rely on special properties of the signal being analyzed, like the number of samples being a power-of-two, for example. The most well-known of these is called the "Fast Fourier Transform" (usually abbreviated "FFT").
The FFT is kind of the "gold standard" in terms of frequency analysis because it's SUCH a dramatic speed-up compared to the alternative. I don't want to go into the computational time-complexity analysis here but just trust me when I say it's VERY fast.
That being said, the FFT is SO popular I sometimes wonder if we're not reaching for it even when it isn't really appropriate. Even if, from a computational time-complexity analysis, the DFT is agonizingly slow compared to the FFT, for sufficiently small/precise/targeted/sparse sets of frequencies you want to look for in a signal, it can be faster and more accurate to use it as opposed to an FFT (which would require you to use evenly distributed frequency components which either won't be very accurate or will require a lot more of them to build an accurate picture of what's happening).
For the purposes of pitch detection of musical signals (the overwhelming majority of use cases for pitch analysis that people care about), the actual number of frequencies you'd need to analyze a signal for are VERY small (going by midi-note-count, only 128, as opposed to the standard 44100 you'd need for a complete-spectrum FFT). The only problem is that "spectral leakage" thing I mentioned a bit ago - it's possible that the energy contained in the frequencies surrounding the ones I want to analyze might confound the results.
But, on the other hand, it's unclear to me whether those 128 frequencies (the fundamental tones for any western-based piece of music) wouldn't capture the majority of the acoustic energy of a set of samples, and thus make the confounding energy not-that-big-of-a-deal.
i suppose the last thing to explain in that "short-time-sparse-DFT" jargon salad is the "short-time" part. That's included because the assumption when running a DFT or an FFT is that you're analyzing the whole signal or large chunks of it, whereas if you want to analyze only little chunks of it at a time, you need a "short-time" variant. This sounds pedantic but there are complicated sampling-theory reasons why it's important to treat this separately that I'm not going to go into right now because I'm very sleepy and running out of steam and just trust me on it bro it's very important that we have 30 different windowing functions which ever-so-slightly alter the shape of the spectral-leakage-frequency-lobes that appear in the output (I have a whole book on this topic if you want me to explain more tomorrow)

@nprofile…vpvm I wrote a complex FFT from scratch with the fancy bit-twiddling in college once. I can't say I remember a TON about the bit-twiddling but the rest of it is still pretty fresh. The intersection of the various fourier transforms, sampling theory, etc is probably my favorite part of math I ever learned :hapyday:
if you want a recommendation I think the class I took was based around Ken Steiglitz's "A Digital Signal Processing Primer". Not having read it independently of the course I couldn't tell you if it's as handy without the additional instruction, but I have fond memories of it, which is at least something

pitch recognition methods seem to be completely dominated these days by machine learning, but I'd really like to make something where I understand all the math involved instead of relying on preset weights
maybe instead of the holy grail being instrument-agnosticism, maybe it would be better to be instrument-hyper-specific. What about asking for samples of the kinds of instrument being analyzed? That would allow for a closest-fit harmonic analysis without the guesswork of instrument agnosticism.
Yeah theoretically it's more cumbersome to use ("what do you mean I need to give you samples of each instrument and not just the file?") but on the other hand it seems like there would be less knob-fiddling and potentially more accurate results even if the initial work for the user is higher.

finally made something aurally-pleasing with my worker node test. It's 4 threads each computing 8 sine waves, where each thread is given a base frequency of i * 12.5 where 0 < i < 8 and all subsequent sine waves above the base frequency are at frequency ratios of 1.49x the former. So it's not quite a perfect fifth but it's close enough that it sounds consonant while allowing for some of the beating associated with detuning.
I'm kind of tempted to play around with it from a creative standpoint and attach state machines and enveloping to it so that I can synthesize some nice ambient pitch clouds.
I'm sure this would be a lot easier to do in a DAW or whatever but I'm having a lot of fun doing it from scratch

I could probably improve further with a closer eye on cache usage, >1 sample buffer size, SIMD optimizations, and maybe some kind of GPU offloading node
Oh and maybe lowering the worker thread wait time so that it's not spending 1+ms just waiting around for the buffer to be filled

performance is not exactly stellar even with the lockless queue thing. Spreading 1000 sines over 10 threads clocks in at ~12s to generate 10s of output. It could be better

This is the result of 100 sine waves spread across 10 threads summing to a single source and the entire multithreaded graph is completely lockless

why can't data centers be built below ground or offshore/underwater
both have engineering problems involved obviously but frankly it seems like it would be easier than what they're currently dealing with

I've never liked the line "race is a social construct". Like yeah - kind of? In the same way that different breeds of cats or dogs or whatever other animal or plant classification is. It does still capture real information about the thing you're looking at though and has utility in describing the natural world in shorthand (i.e. the whole point of classification systems). The classification system you use is more-or-less on the level of axiomatic/theological though, since the kind of information you care about or view as relevant is a qualitative value judgement rather than a quantitative one. Trying to imply "X doesn't exist" from "X is a social construct" doesn't square, because it's essentially the same as saying "I don't believe in X". It doesn't really have any bearing on whether other people should or do believe in X
