On issue I encountered with the reflection filter is using the Fethead with it and the SM57 - the extended length of the mic + amp, fitted with the xlr cable at the end actually causes the mic capsule to protrude significantly from the filter's dead zone. Truly, I did not hear any room reflections without the filter. I also did some vocal tests last night on the X1 with and without the reflexion filter. I do notice that there actually are reflections coming in from the small passageway to the bathroom, seemingly sorted by draping some clothes over the door. Not because it does not work, but it may be a possibility that my room is actually quite dead, sonically! Clapping in my room I hardly hear any reflections, similarly with my saxophone.

In addition, the Reflexion Filter may be a dud buy. I honestly could not tell which was the SM57 and which was the X1. After getting the levels up to 0db (I'd set the gain on my pres so that I'd only need 0.9 - 1db gain boost in Audacity) and comparing both mics. This evening, I did some quick tests after my saxophone practice - 2 songs, one run on each mic. Subjectively, I actually prefer the SM57! I only did vocal tests last night on the SM57 (plus Fethead) and the X1, and I can't really say which is better. There was a really good bundle from dv247, that included a metal pop filter, and I really wanted to a) try out condenser mics and b) improve my recordings by improving my room's acoustics. Yesterday, I received some new toys in the mail, a SE Electronics X1 condenser mic, and a Project Studio Reflexion Filter.
#WHISPERINGS PIANO NOT WORKING CODE#
Secondly, with the playback, assuming I can figure out the note, if I can harmonize with the note should help with my intonation.Īfter some real world use, I found that randrange kept giving very close values for the small range I'm using, so additional code was used to ensure the previous tone would not be the next one as well.

In essence this will achieve two things.įirst, figuring out a particular note will aid recognition of the particular note, and that will aid transcription. So basically what it does is very simple, play back a specific sound sample, which I will try to use my ears and saxophone to match. Print "\nSpace to play tone, 0 for answer, Enter for next tone, q to quit"ĬurrentRand = random.randrange(0,len(soundDictionary))ĬurrentSound = soundDictionaryĬurrentRand = getNextRand(currentRand, len(soundDictionary)) Print "Intonation/Transcription Ear Developer " + ver NewRand = random.randrange(0,randRangeMax) Termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings)ĭef getNextRand(currentRand, randRangeMax): (nc,sw,fr,nf,comptype, compname) = s.getparams( ) The following script is to aid me in this endevour: Two things (out of the many) I hope to work on my saxophone, is to transcribe music, so that I can re-arrange it, as well as improve on my intonation.
