Sound pictures audio analyzes

Sound picture: An audio analysis of the song If i Loved You Barbra Streisand

Formants are strong frequency peaks (transients)

The work on my audio skils i used this song.

lyrics
written bij Oskar hammerstein

If I loved you,

Time and again I would try to say

All I'd want you to know.

If I loved you,

Words wouldn't come in an easy way

Round in circles I'd go!

Longin' to tell you,

But afraid and shy,

I'd let my golden chances pass me by!

Soon you'd leave me,

Off you would go in the mist of day,

Never, never to know how I loved you

If I loved you.

the phrase afraid
Pitch is the fundamental frequency (steady)
The pitch goes from 3768 slightly up to 393
and at the end the vibrato
