Hi Dmitry,
Thank you for your reply! I have been trying out the asBands() method,
which seems to yield some result to different voice tones. However, it
seems that asBands() can only return a limited set of possible
frequencies.. I am basically doing this :
snd= sound.Input( RATE, CHANNELS, sound.AFMT_S16_LE )
snd.start()
analyzer= sound.SpectrAnalyzer( CHANNELS, SAMPLES, NUM_FREQS )
while 1:
largestFreqName= 0
largestFreqValue= 0
previousLargestFreqValue= 0
bands= analyzer.asBands( BANDS, snd.getData() )
for i in range( 0, len( bands ) ):
for j in range( 0, len( bands[i] ) ):
freqName= bands[i][j][0]
if freqName >= 1000:
continue
freqValue= bands[i][j][1]
if freqValue > largestFreqValue:
previousLargestFreqValue= largestFreqValue
largestFreqName= freqName
largestFreqValue= freqValue
print largestFreqValue
Am I understanding how this data may be used correctly? Is there some
way to do something similar with the analyzer.asFrequencies() method? I
cannot seem to make any sense out of the returned data through
experimentation :)
Thanks!

Hi,
It could work for you.
Basically SpectrAnalyzer is taking the fixed number of samples >512
and returns the frequencies strength. If you use much more samples it
may not work well for you though.
Sorry I never did pitch detection myself, so I cannot tell if it'll
work for you.

Subject: [Pymedia-users] pitch detection
Hello,
I am working on a voice-training python application that involves
pitch detection. I have had some good results using FFT but it's a
bit too slow (I can't get good detection without a very large sample
size it seems).
Could SpectrAnalyzer be useful for pitch detection? I am a bit
confused as to how to use this class properly; the example
(sound_viz.py) doesn't work in the latest release due to what looks
like API changes. I think being able to experiment with a working
implementation would help me to be able to play around with FFT and
other algorithms (Schmitt-triggering for instance).
I took a peek at the implementation of SpectrAnalyzer in C and I am
not sure how much overlap there is between what I am trying to do and
SpectrAnalyzer; it seems quite capable but my inexperience in digital
audio processing is holding back my understanding.
I've been learning just how little I know about DSP by embarking on
this, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob Helmer
