Re: Instrument Databases



Dear Jerry,

There is also the IRCAM Studio On Line database (see
http://forumnet.ircam.fr/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=107).

And yes, RWC provides vibrato and non-vibrato recordings.

Regards,

Dear List



I am looking for available databases of instruments to use in research.



I have found three: McGill, RWC, Iowa. Are there any others? And does
anyone know if RWC separates vibrato and non vibrato pieces?



McGill   US$50

            Clearly describes recording methods

            Variety of styles (loudness, vibrato, etc.) but does not
appear to be an exhaustive corpus

            Does not differentiate different instruments, performers,
(near as I can tell)

            2 DVDs



RWC    US$150

            Designed for research

            Differentiates performers, (3), instrument manufacturer,
Loudness, (3 levels).

            Differentiates vibrato and non vibrato?

            Huge - 12 DVDs



Iowa      Free

            Online

            Variety of instruments

            Has some vibrato/non vibrato pieces of the same instrument.

            Does not differentiate different instruments, performers.

            Loudness (3 levels)
