    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention are directed to enabling a user to easily identify the frequency range(s) at which sound masking occurs, and addressing the masking, if desired. In this respect, the extent to which a first stem is masked by one or more second stems in a frequency range may depend not only on the absolute value of the energy of the second stem(s) in the frequency range, but also on the relative energy of the first stem with respect to the second stem(s) in the frequency range. Accordingly, some embodiments are directed to modeling sound masking as a function of the energy of the stem being masked and of the relative energy of the masked stem with respect to the masking stem(s) in the frequency range, such as by modeling sound masking as loudness loss, a value indicative of the reduction in loudness of a stem of interest caused by the presence of one or more other stems in a frequency range.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention are directed to enabling a user to modify the manner in which one or more settings specified by a predefined template for a particular sound source are applied, so as to provide the user with greater control over the settings which are applied to a track than conventional tools afford. Some embodiments are directed to automatically applying one or more settings for a track based at least in part upon an analysis of the spectral and/or dynamic content of the track, such as by automatically performing sound equalization by applying one or more digital filters to a track, defining the frequency range(s) in which one or more filter(s) are applied, applying dynamic range compression, defining the manner in which compression is applied in multiple sub-bands of the audible spectrum, and/or applying one or more other settings. Such settings may be designed to achieve any of numerous (e.g., artistic) goals, such as to bring to the forefront certain elements of the natural character of the sound in a track, or to enhance the track's overall balance and/or clarity.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention are directed to techniques for suppressing or attenuating noise in audio circuitry, such as which may result from a source of electromagnetic energy being coupled to the audio circuitry. Some embodiments may employ two separate channels, a first of which captures audio information and noise, and a second of which captures the noise. Noise compensation may be performed by transforming the signal of the first channel in accordance with noise in the second channel which is identified as comprising a particular type of noise.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention are directed to an audio production system which is more portable, less expensive, faster to set up, and simpler and easier to use than conventional audio production tools. An audio production system implemented in accordance with some embodiments of the invention may therefore be more accessible to the typical user, and easier and more enjoyable to use, than conventional audio production tools.
