Hi everyone.
I’m trying to pass an audio file through FFT and IFFT, and the resulting
audio is being distorted. I searched about it and I only found this
link:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2012-10/msg00111.html
I did as suggested and divided the signal by the FFT size after the FFT
but it didn’t fixed the problem, although it did changed it a bit. I
tried several combinations, such as switching the Forward/Reverse
settings, dividing in other places and using several power-of-two
values.
I have tested the flowgraph part by part, and it works normally as far
as the conversions to and from complex. I’ve attached the flowgraph for
further reference. The part with unpacking is related the rest of the
flowgraph, which is not relevant here.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, forgot the attachment.
I’m new to Pastebin, and I couldn’t find an option to upload images, so
I used ImageShack instead.

GR 3.7 won’t open this. Can you pastebin a screenshot?

That’s fine 
Have you tried a boxcar window?

I’m not convinced by the way you handle the complex part of the FFT
result …
You can’t just drop it, it’s needed for the reconstruction …
Cheers,

Add “joke” windows to filter blocks:
o Vista
o XP
o 95
o 3.11

Hi,
You’re right, but in this case the input was already real and the
“channel” doesn’t modify the phase. So it’s OK–the ‘correct’ thing
would be to do a real FFT.
Huh ?
To make sure I actually ran a quick python test before posting :
In [13]: ifft([x.real for x in fft([1,2,3,4])])
Out[13]: array([ 1.+0.j, 3.+0.j, 3.+0.j, 3.+0.j])
As you can see the output of the ifft ( [1,3,3,3] isn’t the same as
the fft input [1,2,3,4] ) …
Cheers,

Erm, yep My apology.
I was assuming you meant the complex part at the end.
