I often find piano notes too sharp, is there a tool for flattening them? A file maybe
Bbe is a technology that puts back what the recording process takes out.
Apparently a recording cannot capture all the qualities of an actual live performance.
A piano will sound different when in the room being played for you than it will being played through a set of speakers. Bbe puts back the 'realness' of the instrument sound

Compares what a piano sounds like or a drum or strings or trumpet with what it sounds like from a recording.
Its partly tk do with the transients and the phase shifts. Anyway barcus berry electronics puts a brightness into a piano or a preciseness to a harp being plucked. It does it electronically but for some content it can appear a little too sharpn bright so 3 levels are available as well as off.
This might interest you, particularly the last section, "The Records".

You have three levels to pick from 1 2 and 3. Some find 3 too harsh and indeed too sharp. A bit like having the contrast set too high on old televisions.
Others like it better with the bbe off altogether and still others throw a wet towel over the speakers in the hope of dulling the sound from instrument notes that are too sharp.
Each to their own..
You haven't read the last short section? It's an example of what can be done in the real world. I have this remastered version, and when you consider the circumstances of the original recording it's amazing
Bbe has xome from lots of test that compare what an instrument sounds like afainst what a recording played through speakers sounds like in comparison.
The object is to make the latter sound like the former isnt it... well bbe does just that.
I am old enough to have owned a R2R deck. It wasn't a particular good one and I no longer have it, but my comments are not based on listening to others' anecdotes. I also still have a cassette deck (and vinyl, and CD - I even have DAT too).armarra1 said:

I can only assume you don't know what the term 'hi-fi' means.
You would need a Maxwell demon to do that. Maybe the demon some have already bought to reduce noise can do this new function too?armarra1 said:

Thats fine fir goodman but not feasable for multiple recordings. Bbe works on anything
It's a very simple question, should I have said products? Ok, which BBE products are you describing?
BBE is a feature of a product.
A tape player is a product.
It either has solby or it doesnt.
Bbe is a feature that some products (tape players etc) have.
Agreed.
I didn't want to say that out loud.
Ah! now we are getting somewhere! I'll try ebay first for a tame demon.
I can't find a sample stream anywhere on the 'net. 🙁 It would be fascinating to hear " the warmer sound of the original LPs without the clicks"
The first section about how jazz became " bourgeois" is interesting
