    DAF is a technique used by stutterers to create fluency in their speech,
    although it is usually combined with other forms of therapy procedures
    supplied by a speech therapist. Basically, in layman’s terms, the way DAF
    works is by playing back what you are saying fractions of a second after
    you’ve actually spoken, resulting in clear although slowed speech. The
    first order of business is always to address the cause of the stutter
    though, or else therapy may not be adequate.

    Paxil, like any drug, is just that… a drug. It doesn’t target the
    stuttering itself, it just targets the effects. I suggest you rather go and
    visit a speech therapist who can do therapy with you. Psychiatrists may
    know a lot about the mind but they know virtually nothing about speech. I’m
    a speech therapist by profession and I can tell you that there is nothing
    wrong with stuttering 🙂 it doesn’t effect who you are or how clever you
    are.

    Hearing ones own voice is retroactive, most of the current theories of
    stuttering ascribe it to deficits in preprogramming or programming, or
    integration of the sensory feedback with the predictive models for speech.
    Close but a bit off in your interpretation.

    As Paxil, what i do now us still sray with the Paxil and whenever begins to
    loose the effect, i switch temporarily to any other prescribed anti
    anxiety/ depression medication just for maybe 2 or 3 months and then go
    back to the Paxil and the body reacts to it like is the first time.

    so does this mean that the reason why it works is that a person who
    stutters has a problem hearing his own voice in some way? Ok, I will answer
    this since I was smart enough to come up with the right question. The
    answer is: YES!!

    If you search PubMed you will find several hundred peer reviewed
    publications about it, as there are many interpretations for why it works.

    Most of the pharmaceutical trials that have been tried with stuttering are
    variants of anxiety or depression medications. If you read Gerald McGuire’s
    book offered through the National Stuttering Association, it goes through
    most of the research.

    It doesn’t affect who you are and how clever you are??? Of course it does.
    How would you know, you don’t have the problem. Look, it was nice of you to
    say that but it is not true, t DOES affect who you are, obviously.

    Ok for all the stutterers of this earth. I went to a social worker and told
    him i wanted to kill myself becayse of the stuttering and is was totaly
    true. He refered me to a psychistrist who prescribed me Paxil and the
    highest dose and it reduced my stuttering at least 50%, it was amazing!
    After few months it begins to loose efect and then i asked for another anti
    anxiety medication byt nothing worked

    You are correct, Sir. There was a time when there were very few of us
    working on digital music synthesis. In the early ’70s, Dartmouth’s
    Synclavier, Australia’s Fairlight CMI, and UIUC PLATO’s Gooch Cynernetic
    Synthesizer were the only choices to be shown at the conventions. I once
    travelled 2000 miles, prior to constructing the first pitch-extraction
    peripheral, to ask Andy Moorer’s permission to use his algorithm in it.
    That must all seem like a bunch of silly nonsense to you guys now!

    I am building an acoustic guitar synth with physical modeling and got the
    J.O.Smith book on physical audio signal processing. I am having great time
    developing it and learning all these things from the past.

    Seems like all the people who started to apply physical modelling knew each
    other lol. Also the basic plucked string is a bit like FM reminds me of the
    megadrive.
