Tournesol,
A nice story. Your friend will have an intimate understanding of how a guitar, in fact any guitar will sound, and all that muscle memory will quickly enable him to adjust to a cheap guitar fresh out the factory and play it like the virtuoso he is. This is why it is so important that all guitars regardless of their price or value, are set up properly. Tell your son this, and if the guitar needs a set up and gets one, it will make playing a lot easier for him.

Great, so the problem was addressed. The original Zung statement is then false (can't read the article beyond the pay wall).
This is the very common confusion between an identification test and a preference test. I never said a FFT measurement could up front find what a musician prefers.
That's a gross over simplification, worthy of an EE: measuring the harmonic content at one single instant "t" and call it a day. You may be getting there if you included all the slices of time from before the bow strikes until well after the last decay, then do it all over again vary the force of the bow.
Btw, I had been an EE too, but I know and acknowledge the limit of engineering...
From an (even former) EE, I would expect to know that a Fourier Transform can be applied only to periodic signals, or signals that can be extended to a periodic signal. Therefore, there is no "t" measurement of a harmonic content. Non periodic signals are handled via the Laplace Transform which has little to nothing to do with Fourier.
The definition of "periodic" is non limiting, though. You could even consider the periodicity of a song played in a loop, as much as a string plucking, played in a loop. In fact, this is what I would do if I would have to analyze a string instrument spectra.

You will have to quote the particular writing, especially when you say "above" after claiming the quote below. Otherwise the readers will think you are referring to the post by PMA, mountainman bob, tapestryofsound, Zung, billshurv, chris719 or your own.
Look at the quick reply box below, it is the most-left icon there and you'll find the same in the row of icons above the text box when replying after pressing the "quote" button.

Thanks a lot, Zung, i will ask him, but he surely knows about them. He has a real violin workshop in his house, guitars in construction everywhere. All his guitars, including his old 335 have been permanently polished, improved etc.
He is able to order old stocks of wires for his humbuckers at the other side of the world. He also has an astonishing amps collection: He eats pasta at all his meals and does not get warm in the winter ;-)
Talking of passion for the music and instruments: I have rarely seen him without a guitar in his hands, even when watching a movie on TV.

“bout old recording.
In the 1960s and 1970s, tube technology had reached heights. And the euphonic quality of some microphones (Neuman U67 for example) remains unmatched today: They are still used as pearls in a lot of modern studios.”
I agree. The best recordings I have are from the late 50’s and early 60’s. There are some real modern gems as well though - Yo yo Ma for example

Thanks, hadn't realized it; seems to be a new feature added "recently" (maybe 2- 3 years before?
)

syn08,
As one of the little people, I never thought for one moment that you said anything even remotely like this.

I don't know, my IT skills are limited
, most of the functions/icons are a mystery to me, I probably found that by accident, like most things.....like my personal audio Nirvana even

Then I must admit I don't understand at all the point of your reply.

I'm more or less in the same situation. Like, I believe, a lot of us.
But it is exciting to get a new territory to explore, don't you think ?
We definitely need an help from Markw4 on the best way to begin, what to look-at for what results etc.
May-be it would be a good idea to open a thread on this purpose ?
This might be a typo?
Fourier integral transform works above a function that is continuous in time domain and the result is continuous in frequency domain. No periodicity requested.
Fourier series works above a function that is periodic in time domain and the result is discrete in frequency domain.
Discrete Fourier transform is periodic in both time and frequency domains.
Yes, only Markw4 can help you find the truth. And he's not rolling heads, of course.
You're right. That's the 'little benefit' I mentioned.
"It is not little!" you might respond in disagreement. Well, if someone is relying on the fast A/B switching feature of FoobarABX, he won't perform well.
For example we have one.wav and two.wav. I can play one.wav several times to get used to it, then I play two.wav. Once I know the difference, I can ABX the file by playing only X (or A and X). If I play A I will know if A is one.wav (or not) then I play X and I will know if X is one.wav (or not). Then I don't need to play B and Y to give my answer.
Do you know how it is possible to give answer by playing only X?
