🧩 1. Pitch Detection Basics
Start here to grasp the fundamentals of pitch and sound:
- What Is a Pitch Detector? — Introduction to real-time pitch tracking, why it matters, and how it differs from simple tuners.
- Pitch vs Frequency — Understanding the Difference — Learn how physical vibration frequency becomes perceived pitch.
- What Are Cents in Music Tuning? — Discover the “cent” scale used to measure how sharp or flat a note is.
- Frequency vs Note vs Octave — Simple Breakdown — See how frequencies map to musical notes and octaves.
- Why Tuners Show Multiple Notes — Harmonics Explained — Understand overtones, partials, and why complex sounds can confuse basic tuners.
💡 Tip: after each article, test the concept instantly with the Online Pitch Detector Tool.
⚙️ 2. Pitch Detection Algorithms & Technology
Behind every accurate reading is advanced digital signal processing (DSP).
Dive deeper into the algorithms that make your browser-based detector so precise:
- How FFT Works in Pitch Detection — Learn the math behind the Fast Fourier Transform and how it isolates frequencies.
- Autocorrelation vs YIN Algorithm — Compare two leading approaches and see when each performs best.
- Accuracy Tests & Calibration — Review controlled experiments proving detection precision across devices.
- How Microphone Quality Affects Pitch Detection Accuracy — See why a good mic improves stability.
- Pitch Detection for Audio Files — Understand how uploaded WAV/MP3 files are analyzed.
- How Audio File Pitch Detection Works on Your Device — Technical explanation of local, offline processing.
These resources reveal how your browser interprets raw waveform data and converts it into musical information in real time.
