Re: [motm] [Q] Pause Stuffing

2003-01-15 by jhaible@debitel.net

An example:

Without pause stuffing, you get the "usual" vocoder effects.
Carrier: "wind" , Modulator : voice -> a noisy voice. When
you stop talking, silence.

With pause stuffing, the original signal takes over as long
as you're not talking into the mic. Like, you have that
howling wind, and as soon as you speak, the wind talks.

If you get the transition right, the effect can be stunning.

That's the part I wanted to implement next, when I stopped
working on the MOTM vocoder prototype (for a while).
