Their method does the right calculations even without using the computed frequencies (they wanted to avoid the atan2() calls), but it's possible to do the same thing using them. Hint: if you need the frequencies the Bernsee way, just compute them using bin number as the unit instead of Hz - it simplifies things quite a lot ans also shows much clearer what's going on. This is how it's done in some experimantal code I wrote years ago: for (i = 0; i <= hlen; i++) { x = _F [i][0]; y = _F [i][1]; p = atan2 (y, x) / twopi; // Phase in cycles. d = p - _phase1 [i] - i / div; // Minus previous and expected difference. d -= floorf (d + 0.5); // Reduce to [-0.5...+0.5] _phase1 [i] = p; // Store for next iteration. _freq [i] = i + d * div; // Frequency in bins. _magn [i] = hypotf (x, y); // Magnitude. } where 'div' is the overlap factor, e.g. 4 for 75%. Note this must be a float. I'll let you work out the inverse operation by yourself, you'll notice it's even simpler (as some terms cancel out). But it's not needed when using D&L's method. For code, maybe have a look at Rubberband which may contain interesting things (I don't know, never dared to look as it would probably have me hooked up for weeks experimenting with this sort of algorithms...)
