Making sense of fluid.ampslice~

ok, first I listen to both source:

  • the left is super noisy, super high-passed, but just very slightly ahead (I can hear it more than I can see it by the pull in the image)
  • I’m going to set a threshold that is too permissive, to find where the noise floor is. The idea is to get the noise floor to react (slow env vs fast env) when I start the play (that gives a good idea) - you will notice that it helps it become more nervous - around -50 works for me
  • then I set the minslice to something not ridiculous (like 2205 aka 20Hz) and I play with the fastrampdown to smooth the tail a bit, in conjunction with on thresh (I have the off thresh about 6dB below to start with) and I get quite good results…

My thinking: top heavy source is what I want. So nervous in, scrap the low end, and surf that peak.

Patch (dumb) and picture of settings (good) attached. Comments and questions welcome.
