CLOSE LISTENING / 005
A beginning.
A voice worth keeping.
Short phrases, two sounds, one moment at a time.
Listen to an entrance, a held note, or the way it lets go.
Preparing the short comparisons…
The full phrase, from beginning to end.
Ready. Start at a low volume.
Original levels. The same volume is applied to both sounds.
Every playback has a 5 ms fade at each excerpt edge to avoid cut clicks. Repeats include those fades. Original WAVs and raw excerpt downloads have no added fades or level matching.
What would you keep?
A nicer entrance? A release that changes pitch? A held sound that feels fuller? Describe the moment—the saved note includes your exact selection.
Selected region & exact settings
Excerpt levels are measured from decoded audio before the playback fades, including any repeat-length limit. The browser may resample for playback; original WAVs retain the saved sample rate. Render measurements below use the windows stated in each record.
