Re: Research ... capture EQ curve

Understood Martin. Always a welcome when you do have time.
As to first part of last message ... I'll re-state my, .... 'Uhh Huh, ...... ok'
Way over my head
I think I'm needing to try to simplify the concept/technique in order to have any chance with this. That being ...
I've got a 10-band splitter that feed individual PEAK-HOLDs. I'm then using each band w/Peak-magnitude to drive a associated VCA's.
This both measures the overall response and locks those band levels as a static snapshot.
I don't see an author name for this 10-band splitter [I'll track that down - got it here]. But I'm thinking I should bump this to 20 bands. Easier said then done for mu-waa.
I don't know how accurate or true this splitter is. I've not been able to analyze the shape of the band, the possible overlap or gap issue. But it does test the general concept.
The interest in Martin's 'SpectralEnvelope' example is the high-speed SCANNING through the audio source. That would be a welcomed feature. The 40-band aspect might just be overkill.
Bottom line .... this 'Matched EQ' will NOT be used to actually alter the audio source. I know this can sound confusing. I only want to get this snapshot to provide a good representation of the sonic shape.
The calibration PINK NOISE will be set to pass through this static filter representation in a hoped way that will bias the PINK-NOISE to appears as if it's the actual audio.
If we step back, it will be clear that we are using things like noise, and EQ, in a non-traditional manner.
I want to substitute the actual real music audio, whatever its' sonic envelope/energy, with a shaped PINK-NOISE ... like that of the real, actual music audio.
The DAW is stopped, and we can then activate the PINK and the snapshot into the following effects chain.
The LEVELS going into the chain would be just like playing the real music track ... but we are not
After adjusting the FX Chain to UNITY IN/OUT for each device ...
The PINK and the shaped Filter are By-Pass ... back to the music.
As fx changes are made ... rinse & repeat. Using familiar tools in a non-conventional way.
thanks Guys !
