Waveloop: What Fable Left Me

I was not expecting the part where Fable produces a passable 3Blue1Brown-style explainer video of the algorithms it just implemented that sounds like it's narrated by a character from Dora the Explorer. What a strange era we now live in.

Im building some music playback software and am currently struggling with the implementation of a spectrum analyzer to visualize the music. This is incredible stuff and I learned a lot. Well done sir. Ps, also mourning the loss of Fable! It sorted out a 3 month bug hunt odyssey in 3 days. For a somewhat novel problem in a pretty niche area (DSD DoP audio crackle problems during certain playback edge cases).

> As we all know, the foundation of Western diatonic music theory is ¹²√2, the ratio between the frequencies of successive semitones. Nods knowingly. Yes, of course. I definitely know this.

That was my experience with Fable as well. Pulled my extremely complex project that I could squint and see was possible, but actually put mathematical concreteness to things in a way I could only intuit. On the flip side, visualizers have always fascinated me. I love this one, but one build off I've always wanted to see: analyze the entire file a priori, and then generate the visuals. Sort of like a normalization pass, but getting longer form structures decoded ahead of time could be pretty neat.
