Converting log-to-lin (and vice versa) for stats

@tremblap

please be my guess

I meant in terms of interface idea/design. Most definitely “not easy” to implement it…

@tremblap

definitely not. For you maybe, but not to be in phase with literature that most people will come across. This is why it is long. We cannot take a single musician’s hunch to implement things in an open manner

It does default to something either way, so the open-ness comes in the ability to change it, not so much what the defaults are.

If a user(/“musician”) typically never sees the numbers themselves, as they would go from fluid.bufspectralstats~ into a fluid.dataset~ (quite likely with that abstraction/wrapper), wouldn’t log-log work best in just about every possibly way there? (Mainly thinking that all the data sanitization will just push around the linear-ness of the frequency domain representation, which isn’t good for matching)

@weefuzzy

I don’t know how far he got with it, but @a.harker was making a mode for FrameLib that worked on buffers. That would allow you to do pretty much whatever you liked, really quite fast.

Or maybe even @danieleghisi’s ears thing, though I never got around to playing with the old version and have no idea what it does in practice.

For now, and for various reasons, I’ll be using some kind of hybrid approach at most I’m running a parallel coll or entrymatcher since I’ll need access to meta-data and individual numbers, so I can just peek~ → ftom → peek~ things that need changing.
