Due to illness going around the team, some frontend tasks and data exportation have been delayed, but important strides were made in pitch analysis. Our first major data collection event also took place on Wednesday when we took audio recordings of the vocalists for the purpose of testing pitch analysis. Recordings included a variety of styles inlcuding vibrato, staccato, with piano, and without piano. An important observation was made that our opera vocalists naturally lean toward singing vibrato unless specifically instructed to sing staccato. This motivated the extension of the current pitch analysis to support normalization of data in order to extract the fundamental frequency of a vibrato note.
The main challenges we face this upcoming week including extracting and exporting CQ data long-term, adding pitch analysis support for vibrato, streamlining Voce Vista, and adding frontend views for playback and CQ data. Note that streamlining Voce Vista is a new task added to the official schedule and assigned to Melina.
