In the modern world, nobody uses sopranina drones anymore. I’d mix with the original and adjust the volume of sopranina so the pipes are rich, yet not totally drowned out by the sopranina as originally heard. My intention was only to delete just the sopranina, just harmonics of 305, and keep the tenor’s odd harmonics. However, I noticed that you removed both the tenor AND sopranina drones. I’m absolutely sure you’ll hear why I hate that sopranina! I’ve deleted the first verse onwards, so it’s just a solo and a quick solo at that. I’ve attached the beginning of that nice solo with a rather overbearing sopranina so you can hear for yourself what I’m refering to. The Hum Remover plugin doesn’t accomplish my task so I thought I’d see about this kind here. It would do this for every subsequent harmonic up to the sample rate. I simply could do an inverted delay, but for one, it’s not too accurate, 2, you have to divide 1 by the frequency you’re trying to counteract (not so easy), and 3, the odd harmonics an octave below are greatly emphasized, not what I want here.Īgain, it’s simply a Notch filter function just with an added loop counter. I think I might know enough about Nyquist to convert the Notch function into the EQ function, but I thought I could start by this Notch plugin, in conjunction with mixing it with the original to even out the sopranina with the other pipes, to make remastering the Zampogna recordings a breeze. I did try this manually, but boy was it painfully tedious! For example, I have a nice track where a bass Zampogna is being played along with a (not-so-good) singer, and after matching the pitch of the sopranina to a Sawtooth wave, I determined that the sopranina’s frequency is 305. So I’d like to see if anyone can come up with this.īasically it would be a plugin (not just a Nyquist prompt), a Notch filter that would notch out first the base frequency that you type in, then all the other harmonics (it would add your frequency to the number in a loop), and the Q value for all the frequencies would be stored. I always did it manually by simply calculating the frequency of each and every harmonic of the sopranina, but this is madly time-consuming for a blind person like myself, and there is always the potential error of being wrong when typing in each frequency. Obviously the frequencies will change depending on the sopranina’s note, but there are times when I only know the base frequency to notch and would want to notch out all the other harmonics of that frequency with the same Q value. I have severl solo recordings of Italian Zampogna bagpipes, and most of them, regardless of their key, have this absolutely piercing, loud “sopranina” drone that gets totally in the way of anything else, which makes it absolutely impossible to hear anything besides it, even though this isn’t intentional. So I’m faced with a rather daunting task here to correct a tonal issue of one of my favorite instruments.
