Percussion should better preserve some timbre quality of original #3

The noise-based percussion isn't very interesting. After listening to 20-25 remixes, I almost would rather take it out completely. I want to hear transients. I want to hear percussive diversity. I want something that preserves some timbre quality of the original. What about MFCC nearest-neighbor from a sample bank of nes percussion? What about just bitcrushing the P?

Yeah, i agree with all of this. WRT diversity, it should be much easier in librosa 0.4.1 via this PR, so you can compute onset envelopes in different frequency bands and synthesize them separately.

PRs are always welcome!

Bitcrushing the P

Cherry-picked example of it sounding good: Before: https://soundcloud.com/genata_01/genko-ignatov After: https://soundcloud.com/autochiptune/genata_01-genko-ignatov

However, it doesn't take the vox out of rap https://soundcloud.com/autochiptune/thatnigganice-get-to-the-bread
