Hi, there. 2 years ago, I created this thread on the forum: http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/7340/echo-supressor. After talking about dBs, I thought I acchived what I was looking for. But no. Nor close.
My last non-replied post on september 2014 says:
/Bringing back to life an old thread... I tried to make this patch work LIVE... and it is not as thought./
/To make this patch work (*1), I should find the perfect delay to suppress the audio. Using 44100, the delay time can vary in 0.0226ms. So... it's almost impossible to get that. I only acchieve a flanger, nothing else./
/In the first Patch-Circle done in Argentina last Saturday, I talked with Pablo E. Riera about this and he told me about the adaptive external and the echo cancellation example... but there is no example like that (only intereference cancellation)./
/I will explain again (*2): the operator has a microphone (using one channel of input) and it sounds in a LCD (far away) (using one channel of output). Above the LCD I have a mic (second channel of input). This mic takes what the audience says and send to the operator headphones (second channel of output). The operator hears her own voice (with a delay). I want to supress this "return". It doesn't matter the latency, I just don't want the operator to hear her/him voice./
/I would need something that learn from the first microphone and get rid of what the second mic takes./
/I hope being clear in my explanation. Thanks in advace./

(*1): the patch is in the thread. It does something like this: it takes the microphone (channel one), invert the wave (by using [*~ -1]), it uses a delayline to synch (because of the latency) and mix with the output. The intention is, obviously, suppress the microphone after been listened by the second microphone.

(*2): I just updated the explanation
How can I acchieve an echo suppresor? Is this possible? If I'm not clear in my explanation, please tell me. Thanks.
