I am currently using audacity to run a number of experiments relating to heterodyning, using single sideband modulation (SSB). I want to apply this as a real time effect on a live track, say by mixing it with a carrier of 8khz or higher. My plan is to ultimately work with higher, ultrasonic frequencies, but I’m sticking to hearable frequencies for now.
Unfortunately, while I was able to code part of the process on Nyquist, I wasn’t able yet to find any plugin that would allow me to heterodyne a track, and/or heterodyning while removing the carrier in order to remove the metallic noise. Does such a plugin exist at all, and if not, is there a way to code it using Nyquist in order to make it into a real time effect plugin for audacity ?
No, my plan has nothing to do with brainwashing :laughters:. It’s part of a wider project I’m running with other amateurs regarding cetacean vocalization analysis and communication. What we’re doing is essentially the same than how bat detectors, or VLF radios, function.
From what I understand, it does frequency shift, rather than frequency translocation. Can this be somehow used in such a way as to maintain harmonics, as in heterodyning ?
