Hi Fons,

Thanks for the reply, and from vacation no less.

Aha! That is what I was missing and didn't understand. Thank you.

So just compute a FIR and apply it. I now have a working prototype.

I hoped to sidestep that because the phase-angle should be a sweepable
parameter. I can probably make this work by cross-fading the computed
FIR when the parameter changes.

Well, there is a minimum. So far I just brute force detect it, trying
all angles in 1 deg steps on a file.

Finding out if it can be computed is up next. Perhaps using linear
regression on the spectrum of the file. I may pick your brain again when
I progress to that stage.

The next retsina is on me, unless you prefer a cold ΑΛΦΑ beer :)

Stay safe!
