This actually explains a few misconceptions I had in the past.. Both slopes are filed under "natural spectrum" in my mind. Am 27.03.2018 um 19:16 schrieb robert bristow-johnson:> > I believe thats equal energy on a -6dB/octave spectrum and gives figures > very close no, that's -3 dB/oct.

Re: [music-dsp] bandsplitting strategies (frequencies) ?

What I meant when I explained how I derived my crossover frequencies, was that I used actual, typical program audio and **its own inherent spectral energy density distribution** to determine empirically (over many months work) generally where to set the frequencies. Much typical

Re: [music-dsp] bandsplitting strategies (frequencies) ?

i keep dividing into equal bands on a log2 scale, I believe thats equal energy on a -6dB/octave spectrum and gives figures very close to what David Reaves suggested the other day for 4 bands when you set 6300 Hz as the upper limit and 150 Hz corner frequency for the bass band (or 45 Hz

Re: [music-dsp] bandsplitting strategies (frequencies) ?

For equally spaced bands you could do it with 2 parameters, one to shift the middle or base frequency and one spread or fan parameter that spreads or narrows the bands. The reason I don't want this, is that I don't want too many parameters and the user doesn't know how to set the bands either,

Re: [music-dsp] bandsplitting strategies (frequencies) ?

I designed a four-band AGC for broadcast about 20 years ago, using single-pole subtractive band split filters. I used RMS detection, and wanting each band’s processing to be doing roughly equal ‘work,’ determined the crossover frequencies on the basis of typical energy distribution. This

Re: [music-dsp] bandsplitting strategies (frequencies) ?

If it’s a distortion or compression and only 2-4 bands, a user set crossover(s) would usually be desirable. The Ableton Multi-band Dynamics, Waves C4, Ohm Force Ohmacide, Izotope plugins, Surreal Machines Transient Machines all come to mind. It probably depends on the complexity you are looking

Re: [music-dsp] bandsplitting strategies (frequencies) ?

The purpose is multiband compression and distortion. So I only have a few bands, 2 to 5. I use ERB scale in my vocoder, which worked slightly better than Bark scale for me (it seems better defined at the low range) I was wondering if I should use it here too or if it's better on a log2

Re: [music-dsp] bandsplitting strategies (frequencies) ?

Gabriel, I think it depends on what you are trying to do. What’s your context? For example a Vocoder (for voice) might have a different distribution of bands (bark scale) than a multipurpose graphic EQ (even octaves). One strange example I know of is the Serge resonant EQ (not crossovers but
