Thank you, that looks very nice.

FYI please make a link in your first comment containing a link to the preview (needs to be updated every day the PR is changed):

I 'll copy my comment here too:
on https://viereck.ch/latex-to-svg/
you can convert your formula to a svg

If you set the color to #FFFFFF and download it you get something like this:

(this is an svg uploaded in my comment)

If you want to try by changing the CSP, take a look at PR #389 - Mixxx 2.6 beta release, in the netlify.toml the sha (calculated in google chrome is easiest) is added. (for the text-stem-scipt)

https://github.com/mixxxdj/website/pull/389/files

That took quiet some time.

What needs to be done to get this posted?

@ywwg I want to improve the plots. The inter-symbol interference is quite bad in the generated signal, which means that the transitions from ones to zeros in the waveform is not clear. This might not be important to the average reader, but DSP people will spot this. There is a special filter called the Root-Raised-Cosine filter that improves this. I already started with the implementation. Want to continue after I have the phase tracker merged!

We should probably also make a blog post about improvements to vinyl in general. Assuming you have plenty on your plate already, I could take that one on

Yes, would appreciate that. I don't feel like writing another one atm. I can certainly review the technical aspects of it though!

I am pretty much done with the post, but there is a problem with the slope plot. There is a bug in Makie.jl and I can't save it as SVG. As PNG it looks awful. Thinking about leaving out the part with the slope entirely. I mean for the average reader it is enough to know about the threshold approach.

Alright, I cranked up the PNG resolution. Looks fine now.
