LTE - An alternative to LPT for people who don't care about "pitch"

[rodrigo.constanzo]

@tremblap

The idea was to keep a sort of perceptually equivalent scale, so 1dB is 1semitone of pitch is 1 semitone of centroid. Simple to understand the relations in a musician space, but timbre is super limited there… trying to shrink an MFCC space to 1D of 100points (the range in dB and semitone of useful loud and pitch) is still on the table, via kmeans first. This will happen when I get the headspace which is soon I hope

Oh yeah, I remember that discussion. I don’t think it happened on the forum at all, so I’ll make a thread for it now.

With regards to the scaling, at the end of each my processing chains (except Timbre) I’m ending up in “natural” units (e.g. linear amplitude or MIDI cents), which I can presumably scale one to the size of the other, and those would be alright. I can obviously properly normalize (or robust scale) things afterwards if I want the entire range being used, but I guess that’s more an aesthetic choice.
