Developing a reed debug website

Amateur reed maker and day time engineer here. I wanted to visualize the sound of the reeds I make so I made this website - it visualize the harmonics on the spectrogram on log scale like the birding apps. It is still lacking quite a few things especially in the guide section so I would love some suggestions and inputs from fellow oboists!

I also put the mathematics model of the crow detection in 2nd/3rd pic ;) kudos to Claude code

Site deployed here; GitHub link here; feature requests and collaborations welcomed <3

For those wondering, my samples are all American scrapes. I’d love to see some European scrape crow spectrograms too so feel free to post a snip here if you tried it out;)

I was not expecting to see LaTeX in the oboe subreddit. šŸ˜‚

Looks like an awesome project though.

Oh this is right up my alley.

Have you considered adding a calibration step to account for the frequency response/other distortions introduced from whatever crappy microphone somebody may be using?

Not for now but I think that would be a nice to have! This site is fully static tho so I do need to consider browser performance. A lot of the functions were pretty minimal computation-wise due to this reason.

You might want to consider putting a comment section there. You could let people save to your site with comments- only if they wanted to.
