  1. Processing Sound Rangespart 2 Barb Ericson Georgia Institute of Technology Sept 2005 Georgia Institute of Technology

  2. Learning Goals • Processing ranges of Sound values • Splicing sounds together to create a sentence • Mirroring a sound • Blending sounds • Computing concepts • Looping through a range • Returning a value from a method • Change more than one variable in a for loop • Identify algorithms that cross media boundaries Georgia Institute of Technology

  3. Create an Audio Sentence Exercise • Create a method that splices 3 sounds together to finish the sentence, “Guzdial is”. • Make sure that you don’t copy past the end of the current sound • Be sure to include silence between words • Can you make this method more general? • How about a method to splice a sound into the middle of another sound? • Take starting point in target for splice Georgia Institute of Technology

  4. Reversing a Sound • To reverse a sound • Create a copy of the original sound • Sound orig = new Sound(this.getFileName()); • Then loop starting the sourceIndex at the last index in the source and the targetIndex at the first index in the target • Decrement the sourceIndex each time • Increment the targetIndex each time sourceIndex 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 500 | 400 | 300 | 200 | 100 targetIndex Georgia Institute of Technology

  5. Reversing Method public void reverse() { Sound orig = new Sound(this.getFileName()); int length = this.getLength(); // loop through the samples for (int targetIndex = 0, sourceIndex = length - 1; targetIndex < length && sourceIndex >= 0; targetIndex++, sourceIndex--) this.setSampleValueAt(targetIndex, orig.getSampleValueAt(sourceIndex)); } Georgia Institute of Technology

  6. Testing the Reverse Method String file = FileChooser.getMediaPath( “thisisatest.wav”); Sound s = new Sound(file); s.explore(); s.reverse(); s.explore(); Georgia Institute of Technology

  7. Reverse Part of a Sound Exercise • Reverse just the second half of a sound • Start the targetIndex at the length / 2 • Start the sourceIndex at the length – 1 • Loop while the targetIndex < length sourceIndex 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 100 | 200 | 500 | 400 | 300 targetIndex Georgia Institute of Technology

  8. Mirror a Sound • Copy the first half of the sound to the second half • And reverse the sounds in the second half • This is very similar to mirroring a picture • Calculate the midpoint (length / 2) • Start the source index at 0 and copy from index to length – index -1 • While index < midpoint midpoint 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 100 | 200 | 300 | 200 | 100 Georgia Institute of Technology

  9. Mirror Sound Method public void mirrorFrontToBack() { int length = this.getLength(); // save the length int mirrorPoint = length / 2; // mirror around this int value = 0; // hold the current value // loop from 1 to mirrorPoint for (int i = 0; i < mirrorPoint; i++) { value = this.getSampleValueAt(i); this.setSampleValueAt(length – i - 1,value); } } Georgia Institute of Technology

  10. Testing Mirror Method Sound s = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath( "croak.wav")); s.explore(); s.mirrorFrontToBack(); s.explore(); Georgia Institute of Technology

  11. Mirror Back to Front Exercise • Write a method to mirror from the back to the front • Copy the back half of the sound reversed to the front midpoint 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 500 | 400 | 300 | 400 | 500 Georgia Institute of Technology

  12. Blend Sounds • Like blending pictures we can blend two sounds: • Copy the first 20,000 values of sound1 • Copy from both by adding .5 * sound1 value and .5 * sound2 value • Copy the next 20,000 values of sound 2 Georgia Institute of Technology

  13. Blend Sounds Method public void blendSounds() { Sound sound1 = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath("aah.wav")); Sound sound2 = new Sound(FileChooser.getMediaPath("bassoon-c4.wav")); int value = 0; // copy the first 20,000 samples from sound1 into target for (int index=0; index < 20000; index++) this.setSampleValueAt(index, sound1.getSampleValueAt(index)); Georgia Institute of Technology

  14. Blend Sounds - Continued // copy the next 20,000 samples from sound1 and blend that // with the first 20,000 samples from sound2 for (int index = 0; index < 20000; index++) { value = (int) ((sound1.getSampleValueAt(index + 20000) * 0.5) + (sound2.getSampleValueAt(index) * 0.5)); this.setSampleValueAt(index + 20000,value); } // copy the next 20,000 samples from sound2 into the target for (int index=20000; index < 40000; index++) this.setSampleValueAt(index + 20000, sound2.getSampleValueAt(index)); } Georgia Institute of Technology

  15. Testing Blend Sounds String fileName = FileChooser.getMediaPath( "sec3silence.wav"); Sound target = new Sound(fileName); target.explore(); target.blendSounds() target.explore(); Georgia Institute of Technology

  16. Summary • You can splice sounds together using more than one loop in a method • You can mirror sounds just like you mirrored a picture • You can blend sounds just like you blended two pictures Georgia Institute of Technology
