General Board / Re: Recommendations regarding command-line usage
« on: September 06, 2024, 10:03:41 AM »
Getting to know CDP, part 2:
I'm currently reading some of the entries in the full command reference documentation. In "cpvocman.htm" (i.e. the entry entitled "CDP PVOC Functions"), the description of several commands begins with statements like the following:
"The flags mentioned refer to Old Usage pre-Release 4. The documentation often refers to the -N flag (points) and the -W flag (overlap)."
Or:
"The flags mentioned (-W, -C) refer to Old Usage pre-Release 4."
Later, there's a heading which says:
"The Phase Vocoder flags – with CDP parameter names (since Release 4) in parentheses"
Honestly, I'm confused. Does that mean that it describes the usage of these commands for releases older than 4? If so, where am I supposed to find the description of their usage in newer versions?

Next, it keeps talking about pairs of frequencies and amplitudes. Do they really mean frequencies? Are they sure they didn't mean to say "phase shifts and amplitudes"? Aren't the specific frequencies implied from the chosen sample rate and FFT size? I've read the entire webpage from top to bottom and it still seems to me that it should actually be "phase shifts and amplitudes".

General Board / Recommendations regarding command-line usage

Hello,
I've just downloaded CDP version 8 for Windows.
My intention is to code all my audio manipulation exclusively by writing batch files in an ordinary word processor.
I've already read the tutorial webpage entitled "Running the CDP system" and I have no problem understanding what it says.
My question is:
Which part of the documentation would you recommend to read next, if I'm not interested in things like Soundloom or Soundshaper? There are tons of entries in the full command reference and I would rather welcome something like one large piece of text where just some of the syntax would be explained, rather than reading about all the commands/features and having a hard time deciding which ones I would try just for my introductory experiments and which ones I would learn to use later.
Thank you in advance.
