摘要:
A time-axis compression/expansion method and apparatus for multitrack signals is provided, which is capable of performing time-axis compression/expansion on a multitrack signal in such an appropriate manner as to prevent a degradation in the sound quality of a sound generated through a multichannel reproduction or a sound generated through reproduction of a musical tone signal obtained by mix-down. Positions of attacks of the rhythm track sound source signal of a plurality of track sound source signals are detected. Portions of the rhythm track sound source signal between the detected positions of attacks are subjected to a first time-axis compression/expansion process, and the other track sound source signals are subjected to a second time-axis compression/expansion process, based on the detected positions of attacks.

Signal processing section of a terminal converts acquired audio signals of a plurality of channels into frequency spectra set, calculates sound image positions corresponding to individual frequency components, and displays, on a display screen, the calculated sound image positions results by use of a coordinate system having coordinate axes of the frequency components and sound image positions. User-designated partial region of the coordinate system is set as a designated region and an amplitude-level adjusting amount is set for the designated region, so that the signal processing section adjusts amplitude levels of frequency components included in the frequency spectra and in the designated region, converts the adjusted frequency components into audio signals and outputs the converted audio signals.

In a noise suppression apparatus, an index setter sets an exponent K that is a positive value. A factor setter variably sets a suppression factor according to the exponent K. A noise suppressor generates an audio signal from which a noise component is suppressed through noise suppression process of suppressing a Kth power of an amplitude of the noise component at each frequency thereof in a Kth power of an amplitude of the audio signal at each frequency thereof to a degree determined according to the suppression factor set by the factor setting part. Preferably, the index setter sets the exponent K to a value less than 0.1.

A noise suppressing device is provided for suppressing noise of a first audio signal to generate a second audio signal. In the noise suppressing device, a noise acquisition unit acquires a plurality of noise components which are different from each other. A noise suppression unit generates each suppression component by suppressing each noise component from the first audio signal, thereby providing a plurality of suppression components different from each other in correspondence to the plurality of the noise components. A signal generation unit generates the second audio signal by summing the plurality of the suppression components that are provided from the noise suppression unit.
摘要:
A signal processing device processes a plurality of observed signals at a plurality of frequencies. The plurality of the observed signals are produced by a plurality of sound receiving devices which receive a mixture of a plurality of sounds. In the signal processing device, a storage stores observed data of the plurality of the observed signals. The observed data represents a time series of magnitude of each frequency in each of the plurality of the observed signals. An index calculator calculates an index value from the observed data for each of the plurality of the frequencies. The index value indicates significance of learning of a separation matrix using the observed data of each frequency. The separation matrix is used for separation of the plurality of the sounds from each other at each frequency. A frequency selector selects one or more frequency according to the index value of each frequency. A learning processor determines the separation matrix by learning with a given initial separation matrix using the observed data of the selected frequency.
摘要:
A noise suppression estimation device calculates a noise index value which varies according to kurtosis of a frequence distribution of magnitude of a sound signal before or after suppression of the noise component, the noise index value indicating a degree of occurrence of musical noise after suppression of the noise component in a frequency domain. For example, the noise suppression estimation device calculates first kurtosis of a frequence distribution of magnitude of the sound signal before suppression of the noise component, calculates second kurtosis of a frequence distribution of magnitude of the sound signal after suppression of the noise component, and calculates the noise index value from the first kurtosis and the second kurtosis.
摘要:
Candidate frequencies per unit segment of an audio signal are identified. First processing section identifies an estimated train that is a time series of candidate frequencies, each selected for a different one of the segments, arranged over a plurality of the unit segments and that has a high likelihood of corresponding to a time series of fundamental frequencies of a target component. Second processing section identifies a state train of states, each indicative of one of sound-generating and non-sound-generating states of the target component in a different one of the segments, arranged over the unit segments. Frequency information which designates, as a fundamental frequency of the target component, a candidate frequency corresponding to the unit segment in the estimated train is generated for each unit segment corresponding to the sound-generating state. Frequency information indicative of no sound generation is generated for each unit segment corresponding to the non-sound-generating state.
