Hugo Status Report 2/22

This week I continued working on the specifics of the design for the filter system. I have started to look into the benefits of using a PCB for our circuit instead of the original / current plan which was to simply breadboard it. I am in the process of finalizing the actual design as I completed my matlab tests and am mostly satisfied with the current output of the vocal removal. Before I go into fine tuning, I first want to try breadboarding the circuit and seeing how well the filter works in real time analog. This is going to be my primary work for next week and my priority is finding out whether or not the system will perform with the same level of quality in our actual system. This week I also took time to analyze our new scoring method for the singing. Having pivoted to our new method of subtracting the original from the final signal and analyzing the remainder, I wrote up some additional matlab tests to see what this result would look like. These tests have been promising, but again, I need to test the results with signals in real time. Overall, next week will be centered around developing the first real circuit prototypes for the filter.
