Re: Finding the main frequency of an input audio signal

Thanks everyone for answering.

@Richard Owlett
What is YOUR definition of "best/easiest"?
Can be implemented (including understanding why the implementation
works like that - just the main concepts) in day or two.

Why does FFT confuse you?
Misunderstanding: I am confused which option to use. There are many -
which is best/easiest in the previous sense?

How do you define "simple"?
That you don't actually need to know how it works to understand the
main concepts behind it. This is a little vague.

You are *ALMOST* asking the "RIGHT" questions.
:)

This answer is *NOT* a put down. !!!!
Got that. Thanks.

I'm a fellow newbie who has learned that asking RIGHT question is > 1/2
the battle.
I agree.

@glen
I think first you have to define "main frequency".
...
Maybe you just want the frequency with the most power, though.
The last one would suffice.

@r b-j
but if the OP wants to know the fundamental frequency of a reasonably
harmonic musical note, the thing he/she wants is called a "pitch
detector".

This seems interesting. Do you have any pointers where I can learn
this from (i.e. something you consider a good thing for a start)?
