Thanks everyone for your comments. There seems to be a general consensus (and elsewhere too) so I'll check nobody actually *is* using extreme settings for some reason, and maybe tame it down a bit. As an aside, doing further reading it seems most authorities consider 5 cents to be about the limit for people to detect pitch change (lots of caveats of course) yet Scala example files have figures with 10^-6 cents, and Yoshimi has 10^-6 :o -- It wasn't me! (Well actually, it probably was) ... the hard part is not dodging what life throws at you, but trying to catch the good bits. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
