Standard Input Package

Control the input and the model becomes dramatically more reliable. Use this sequence to reduce player and room confounds.

Recording setup

  • Quiet room, minimal reverb, no post-processing
  • Mic or phone minimum 6 ft in front, at bridge height
  • Aim at player chest area, not f-holes

Test sequence

  1. Room tone: 10s silence
  2. Open strings (two bows per string: slow + fast)
  3. Sustained target notes (3s each, repeat)
  4. 2-octave scales in two keys (slow + medium)
  5. Articulation test on a designated string
  6. Short excerpt from a fixed list

What we measure

  • Harmonic richness and spectral balance
  • Bow noise vs tonal energy
  • Response time and dynamic range
  • Stability and resonance behavior
