  • $\begingroup$ I'm still incredulous at how much attention YIN gets. There's really nothing useful about YIN. The pYIN alg, I have never completely grokked but the YIN alg I understand and there's really nothing particularly novel in it except this "cumulative mean normalized difference function" which is useless. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 27 at 16:55
  • $\begingroup$ Hi Robert, thanks for the insight. I already suspected the algorithm was not that precise. I have focused mainly in mobile dev for now so I am certainly not an audio engineer, but would like to develop tools useful for musicians and audio enthusiasts too. Do you have any other alternative to YIN or FFT-YIN algorithms for pitch-detection for mobile implementations in Android and iOS? I am happy to try out different libraries than tarsos too $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 28 at 14:07
  • $\begingroup$ Probably the best recommendation I can make from my old-school knowledge is defining the autocorrelation out of the Average Squared Difference Function. This is a little more detailed. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 28 at 15:11
