Not a big deal, but I would like to understand why. In Result tab phase is provided for a range 0 Hz- 10 kHz for example. Result may be 0.2° when inband phase noise can have values greater than 5° or more. Result may be 0.2° when delta phase curve indicates 0.5° at 10.000 kHz. Drift plot shows corrected red curve when no correction applied in Result tab or logs, why? Ex: I'm not sure I understand the question. There's no drift correction in the above plot. The constant phase offset was adjusted to bring the overall phase difference closer to zero, that's all I see there. -Paul DeltaWave, DISTORT, Earful, PKHarmonic, new: Multitone Analyzer Link to comment

esldude Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Just noticed the recent files list under file menu. That is very handy. Is this new to 29 or did I just miss it in earlier editions? And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

fas42 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Have updated to 1.0.29, and just noticed that the resampling setting is not being respected - have two 44.1k files and want to resample to 176.4k - which DW refuses to do. Tried a few things, including restarting DW - no go!! Link to comment

fas42 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Still have the problem that Manual Corrections ignores the offset value at times; the Matching panel is essentially identical to the Original - and Cache File Data is the culprit, it appears. Yes, unchecking that restores sanity ... Link to comment
fas42 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 When playing the tracks, and switching between them, the volume settings set previously are not remembered. So, play Reference, play Matched and adjust level so volume is roughly comparable, again switch to Reference, then play Matched - the Matched level has been lost. pkane2001 1 Link to comment

You can adjust the digital gain and if you switch back and forth it isn't where you left it, and it isn't where you had it on the other track. Seems to stick on the value when you select play for that track the first time. pkane2001 1 And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain.

esldude Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Other odd behavior with Archimago's files. Notice how after matching there is a big hump in the compare spectra. And much noise at frequencies above 20 khz. These are 96 khz files. Now I will swap Ref and Compare files. Notice how the original spectra looks as expected for swapping the files. But after matching the Compare file again gets high frequency noise and you get the same hump around 20.4 hz. If this hump were real you'd expect it to become a dip once swapped. It doesn't. This seems to be happening whenever the files are 30+ ppm different in speed. Files which are less than 4 ppm different aren't doing this. No added high frequency noise and the delta spectra is very close to flat. No big hump at 20 hz.

esldude Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I took the fast file above and slowed it 30 ppm in Audacity and retested. Notice the high frequency noise is much less and no 20 hz hump. Also notice the difference RMS is now 9 db lower. Now this isn't new. I went back to v 26b and it also puts the high frequency noise and the 20 hz hump in there with the greater than 30 ppm speed difference. However, it only managed a poor match rather than good or very good. And the difference RMS with the large ppm difference was worse by 27 db instead of only 9 db worse. So v 30b handles all this better than the prior versions. And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain.

esldude Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Again while working with Archimago's files I'm finding in nearly every case the sample offset can be done manually to 1 or 2 or sometimes more samples and get a better match. As if the sample offset has a problem or something about these files is causing a hiccup. The results improve when you do this. This btw is working on samples I've changed speed upon to get it less than 10 ppm different. It happens with the unchanged version as well. The change in speed by Deltawave seems on the money, but then it applies a wrong offset. When I use other files I'm not having this problem. I've been trimming one or two seconds off the front which helps some. But still the wrong offset is a persistent problem.

One issue I can imagine that might cause this is the difference between the clocks (or waveforms in general) near the beginning, where the DAC (or the ADC) may have some trouble synchronizing with the source. But I'll take a look. esldude 1 -Paul DeltaWave, DISTORT, Earful, PKHarmonic, new: Multitone Analyzer Link to comment

Looks like a problem with the 'continuous' play feature when pressing play while another track is playing. If you first click in the file name text box for the corresponding file that's playing and then change the volume, it'll stick. But if you just press the play button, it loses track as to which volume setting to update. I'll fix it. esldude 1 -Paul DeltaWave, DISTORT, Earful, PKHarmonic, new: Multitone Analyzer Link to comment

Just to echo Dennis's findings here - manual correction makes a better fist of things so many times, and it's the offset that is quite obviously out, just from eyeballing in the Matched panel. Merely by adjusting by the displacement observed in the visuals, a far improved alignment is achieved - this should be detectable by the software, and used for fine tuning matching. On another note, have you had any thoughts on trying to compensate for non-uniform group delay, Paul? Link to comment

I don't know what about these files are causing this, but I don't think a single comparison I've made of Arch's files couldn't be improved up, and it was like Frank by looking at the Matched panel and adjust sample offset. I think the closest pair was off by a half sample. DW did report less than excellent matching, but the report was obviously off. Most of them required 1.5 to 2.5 samples adjustment to get fairly close. While DW was reporting matching of a few microseconds.

Popular Post esldude Posted May 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2019 BTW, if you work with device C on Wide World, there was a sudden change in speed difference after the 1:18 mark. So you need to chop off the last 20 seconds at least for it to make any sense. As far as I can tell that is the only file with that issue. And it would be interesting to know how that happened. Of course without DW we'd not know that. fas42 and pkane2001 1 1 And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain.
