Let's set aside for the moment the issue of whether it makes sense to call this "compression". What I'm interested in is: does the simulated instrument sound any good?
At first, I was extremely impressed... but then I figured out I was listening to the original. Listening to the simulated version, it really didn't sound any better than, say, the "clarinet" mode on a cheap Casio keyboard.
PS. I used to play the clarinet. I don't know if this makes me pickier about clarinet sounds than other folks.
- neilk 18y agoIt's not just you. The compressed version was mechanical and even out of tune, although the crescendos sounded about right. It's obviously a waste of time as a recording format, but it could have applications in decoding instrumental performances -- maybe helping students to see what they are doing, or providing some quantitative insight into great performances.
