Re: Recording EVP/spiritual responses

Question for weldo5: Is there a way to "filter out" or "block" spiritual communication? For example, if someone uses a "spirit box" and they don't believe in spirits, will the spirit box work or not work? or, is there a physical means of blocking / filtering spirit comm...

Very low bass is felt through the body rather than the ears, primarily through feet and torso. Ideally we would have "full-body phones" ;)

Re: AFSK generator?

I cant seem to find a text box function in the DTMF.ny, the built in plugin provides one with the ability for just "typing" the letters/numbers, without spaces. Does the text boxes have to be tables or whatever? I know there is some way to add text boxes in the prompt somehow.. In Nyquist...

Re: how to format to WAV

I understand how to use the time shift function to create a simple crossfade. There's an article here about the process and options for creating crossfades: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/creating_a_crossfade.html That article concentrates of the mechanics of the operation, and how to do it man...

Re: Noise Floor

Just getting louder has a limit. A microphone system will overload, too "Eventually", but you're unlikely to get anywhere near that limit unless screaming directly into the mic. Normal conversation is generally quoted as about 40 to 60 dB SPL at 1m. Most microphones can handle over 120 dB...

Re: AFSK generator?

This is very badly coded, but I thought you might find it interesting / useful. I has a quick play with this AFSK example from Wikipedia: Audio sample: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/AFSK_1200_baud.ogg Web page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency-shift_keying Here's the (ba...

Re: Noise Floor

I'm told it is the ratio of signal to noise that is the decisive factor, so if one can't lower the noise, one can simply increase the size of the signal. Absolutely right. When talking about noise level, you will often see the abbreviation "SNR". That means "Signal to Noise Ratio&quo...

Re: AFSK generator?

The "space" character is already defined in Nyquist. Example, if you want to use spaces instead of "0's" in the previous code that I posted, replace #\0 with #\Space The "#\" indicates that it is a "character" (which is a different data type to a "string&...

Re: AFSK generator?

You could read "1's" and "0's" with something like this: ;control inputstring "Enter binary data as 1's and 0's" string "" "101" (setf outputstring "") ;an empty string (dotimes (i (length inputstring) outputstring) (cond ((char= (char inpu...
