A recording, ready to hear
Ready. Start at a low volume.
Original levels. The same volume is applied to both recordings.
YOUR EARS ARE THE USEFUL PART
Which one would you play?
“A has a nicer attack,” “B loses the rough edge,” or “I can’t hear a difference” are all useful. Mention any pitch jump, choke, or recovery you notice.
Measurements & exact settings
These measurements describe the saved render, not a judgement of its musical value. A missing pitch means the estimator did not return a usable value. Beating or several simultaneous tones may produce a common-period pitch estimate; this does not prove a single stable reed mode. Analysis windows are recorded in the full results.
