Hammers fit to Strings

[w sikora]

I heard a buzz in both samples, but it seemed louder and lasted longer in
the 'unfit' sample. Could be my less than hi-fi computer speakers
contributing to this.

I thought the sound of the unison tuning was better in the 'fit' sample.
Also thought the sound in the 'fit' sample was stronger and more full from
attack through decay.

I'm wondering if that blue line at the top portion of the spectrogragh
(around 3200hz) represents the noise or buzz component I'm hearing?
