Malcolm Slaney's review of Pattern Playback techniques: http://rvl4.ecn.purdue.edu/~malcolm/interval/1994-036/IEEE-SMC-95.pdf was an eye-opener for me -- relatively simple techniques let you invert magnitude-only, nonlinearly-processed representations back into faithful (if not bit-accurate) audio. --- John Lazzaro http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro lazzaro [at] cs [dot] berkeley [dot] edu ---
