Curve Dominant Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Is there a program or method in existence or development to fractionate a digitally recorded fuzzy guitar track into six component sine waves? Possibly with dedicated notch filters or whatever. The purpose of this would be to take as many as all six fuzzy notes at a given moment playing together and separate them so that a particular fuzz can be routed through a monophonic program such as AutoSine. The last stage would be to recombine the corrected wave back in sync with the other five. For simplicity let's assume the subject passage is a section with no sine waves interfering with the initial six strings fuzzing together. Bear in mind that I currently have a slew of venture capitalists lined up and banging on my door with greed eminating from their pores, salivating at the chance to invest heavily in a solution to this problem, which, as you know, currently plagues our planet. Therefore, any contributors to this thread will benefit financially and otherwise from helping me create a solution to this. I have a massive meeting tomorrow (Monday) with lawyers & so forth, so be sure to hurry up and jump on the gravy train!!! Please forget whether this seems useful. Think and attack the problem in front of you. We can put men on the moon, can we do this?? I'll certainly push a few buttons when & where I can to push the concept. I'll let everybody swallow this post as I must break off for several hours. I will finish addressing your thoughts later in the day as you've triggered some things I need to research. Some other concepts I will be challenging you with will include: a way to change a recorded major-scale piano chord into a minor-scale chord (and vice-versa); a rack-mount that will eliminate cheese from a cheesy lyric; a stompbox that will convert lame guitar solos into the kind that the pro's play; and a microphone that will filter curse words out of a hip hop vocal take. And since this is my first post on these forums, I won't be terribly insulted if you take more than a day or so to submit finished blueprints of these ideas for me to patent, so take your time. curvpye Eric Vincent (ASCAP) www.curvedominant.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curve Dominant Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 I await a serious reply(s). Many of the replies remind me of the expert panel at IBM who dismissed the idea of small personal computers because a poll of their customers found only 3% showed any interest at all. Is it unrealistic to think with all the progress in the computer art of this new century that even these heebie jeebie worries can't be extrapolated enough to become predictable. The interreaction of a plurality of strings will indeed introduce artifacts, but they are all old science. Remember, the program is deconstructing from a known quantity following the same rules Mother Nature used to put the waveforms together in the 1st place. And programs can be taught to be correct and even out think Bobby Fisher. It can be done if the program knows the rules and these rules -are -not -infinite. OK, now the program has a deep, far reaching database of combinational rules of sound. It's fat and tuff and ready to procreate... What next? curvpye Eric Vincent (ASCAP) www.curvedominant.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilpye Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Brother Curve. And I thought we were on a roll together. MMM-MMM You have every right to question (ridicule) what's going on. I sure would in your shoes. Your post made me laugh, too. You're really Jay Leno, right? I said 99% of the people...etc. So stick around, keep an open mind. I'm about to give you a flesh & blood person to talk about, not a wispy bunch of lines on a page. Getting people to give me patent ideas. Sounds like thievery. I hate hate hate thieves. Old school I guess. Purloined patents from all this constructive chatter? I don't think many inventors work that way, but what do I know? When you exposes ideas online, they're in the public arena, they're INSTANTLY not patentable. All I see are some really thoughtful guys helping somebody with weak legs trying to cross the road. But your eyes are probably a lot younger & stronger than mine. Everything we talked about involved using existing technology. Daughterboards & all that. We might drive up sales of these pick-ups, but what else? I don't own that particular company, nor even heard of it before it was mentioned. Great product though, worthy of its own thread by somebody. By the way, do you care to tell us whether you see any annual income from a PRO? You're an anonymous ghost, so why not? You should go ahead & stick your post on my thread. Strictly for historical reasons of course. Your new thread here may not last too long. Remember the two swordfighters in 'The Princess Bride'. One says "I know something you don't know. I'm really left-handed." I hope we wind up friends. Mean it. Soon as I'm a real person to you, I'll ask you to do just that.

fantasticsound Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Very Well Done, Curve!!! (Golf clap) http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif This is classic, even if my interest IS piqued about the reality of Wilpye's "theoretical" program. Oh, yeah.. If you want to take the fuzz off your guitar, try a vacumn cleaner. Maybe some paint thinner. That'll take just about everything off!! ------------------ Neil Reality: A few moments of lucidity surrounded by insanity. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Curve Dominant Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 My bretheren, it disappoints me that so many of you are so close-minded. I may have to start a new thread soon to cover that topic, so stay alert and focussed, or you will miss this opportunity. I will have to come out into the open soon, so pay attention to that, too. I may have to start yet another thread on that subject as well. You may think of me as an anonymous ghost now, but when I present myself to you in all of my flesh and blood, you will beg me to make my aquaintence. But fret not, because in spite of all of your thoughtless insensitivity, I will welcome you with open and loving arms, whether you want me to or not. So pay attention. I may have to start another thread. curvpye dominapye Eric Vincent (ASCAP) www.curvedominant.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslav Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Hey curvpye..you comin' out of the closet too? What has wilpye started here? So you want to take the fuzz out of a distorted guitar track? Well, I'm usually open minded...we established that on wilpye's thread, but I will have to ask you too... why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why... why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why... why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why... why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why...why... ????????????????????????????????????????? miropye This message has been edited by miroslav on 06-11-2001 at 01:47 PM miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

wilpye Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Mr. Curve, I'm sorry to inform you that me & my lawyers, guns, & money just took a bathroom break from our plotting to take over the music business. I saw the recent evil turn your parody is taking. Be advised I have stolen (never mind that I hate thieves) a cue from my hero Napoleon (fresh from Elba), & ordered my entire army to descend on your house before dawn tomorrow. I warned you to tell me how much you make from your PRO, Didn't I? Ha Ha. Me & the threads & mouthpieces have got to get back to figuring out how to give away these billions with a B. Keep it going. This IS a riot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st00ts Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 yea, you might want to start with readingt the 100+ posts in wilpye's thread... I don't know... if ye don't be wantin the fuzz... then don't record the fuzz, the way I see it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Poff Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 For what it's worth, I'm mixing a live recording with a piercing distorted guitar track. I used a pretty good eq (focusrite isa110) to find the most offensive frequency and then destroy it. Still fuzzy but much more enjoyable to listen to.

miroslav Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 Hey wilpye and curvpye...I don't know how much $$$ you each plan on "spredin' around" and to whom, but since I asked the most "why?s", can I at least do the first hands-on reviews for each of your autotunin', fuzz removin' magic boxes? Huh,...can I...can I...can I...huh? HEY!!! I just had a great idea..."autotunin"..."fuzz removin"...YES!...why don't you guys get together and share your R&D info and just come up with one box...call it the "WHY?PYE AUTOFUZZTUNE". Hey, now that's cooooool...if you do...I think you should throw me a few $$$. (I'm copywriting that theoretical box name as soon as I get done postin' this.) miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Curve Dominant Posted June 12, 2001 Author Share Posted June 12, 2001 Posted by Ken: >>The Boss Acoustic Guitar simulator footpedal will kill fuzz dead AND make it sound just like an acoustic guitar. Guaranteeeeed!<< DRATS! FOILED AGAIN! This thread was produced by Curve Dominant Sound&Vision Corporation's Absurd Comedic Experimental Products Division Research and Development Laboratories, and has been temporarily shut down by court order issued in Philadelphia Federal District Court, as a result of suit filed by wilpye taking grievance with the adverse effects of Curve's sense of humor constantly flying over wilpye's head. In conjunction with this ruling is the order by the court for Curve to cease all flights of said humor until a final ruling is issued. The executive comittee, shareholders and employees of Curve Dominant Sound&Vision Corporation remain united in their conviction that sending flights of humor over the heads of poseurs is a right protected by the 1st and 5th ammendments, and will resume such flights as soon as the courts vacate this frivolous lawsuit.

RecreationalThinker Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Well, in a completely unrelated area, does anybody know of a device or devices I could use to ADD fuzz and detuning to a recorded track? It seems, with the technology available to us today... Oh, nevermind. I'm not a "people" person, I'm a "thing" person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
