Potplayer: Any setting on timbre

[bread7]

Hi all,

Read something about timbre.

Cant find configuration in the potplayer setting.

Wondering if I can experience with any plugin.

No, there's no timbre filter in potplayer. And it doesn't make sense in the context of playing final mixed audio.

Hi jagabo,

Thank you for the reply.

For second part, cant catch you.

playing final mixed audio.

The timber of a sound is the mix of harmonics relative to the base frequency. It's why an oboe sounds different than a flute when playing the same note. So you might be able to make a flute sound like an oboe by adding in the correct mix of harmonics. But it makes no sense to do that in the mixed audio of a song or movie soundtrack. The flutes will sound like oboes but every other sound will be changed too. It will sound horrible.

Thank you.

Now I understand better.
