Post Subject: What other dimensions to consider? Comparing to raw digital file?Posted by scooter on: 4/10/2011

This is a very interesting post Romy; thanks for putting this together and providing sample files. Looks like bad electricity is stuffing pillows into brass and covering strings with shellac. Or is it?

* On the first chart I thought it would be interesting to see an delta plot (a-b) but given the differences are so blatantly obvious I understand why you didn't look at that. For complex problems, I think these simple deltas are worth looking at anyways and might stir up some ideas.

* On the 3D animation, I would plot the differences as well and blow up the y axis to better see what is going on. Also I am thinking now beyond the x,y and z dimensions illustrated above what other dimensions might be considered; that may be where the real insight comes from. Hopefully people around the globe chime in here.

**** Given the music is going through processing at home, did you try looking at the raw digital file directly into Wavelab? How did that compare to the good.wav and bad.wav? I've got to think the good.wav file is a lot closer to the raw digital file...but that brings us (well me) to a major assumption that probably is wrong - bad electricity kills sound while good electricity does not necessarily modify sound, just sets the base line.
