<h2>1. Introduction </h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>SoundTouch is an open-source audio processing library that allows
|
|
|
|
|
changing the sound tempo, pitch and playback rate parameters
|
|
|
|
|
independently from each other, i.e.:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Sound tempo can be increased or decreased while maintaining the
|
|
|
|
|
original pitch</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Sound pitch can be increased or decreased while maintaining the
|
|
|
|
|
original tempo</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Change playback rate that affects both tempo and pitch at the
|
|
|
|
|
same time</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Choose any combination of tempo/pitch/rate</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>

<h2>2. Compiling SoundTouch</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Before compiling, notice that you can choose the sample data format if it's
|
|
|
|
|
desirable to use 16bit integer sample data instead of floating point samples. See
|
|
|
|
|
section "sample data format" for more information.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Also notice that SoundTouch can use OpenMP instructions for parallel
|
|
|
|
|
computation to accelerate the runtime processing speed in multi-core systems,
|
|
|
|
|
however, these improvements need to be separately enabled before compiling. See
|
|
|
|
|
OpenMP notes in Chapter 3 below.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.1. Building in Microsoft Windows</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Project files for Microsoft Visual C++ are supplied with the source
|
|
|
|
|
code package. Go to Microsoft WWW page to download
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.visualstudio.com/en-US/products/visual-studio-express-vs">
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual Studio Express version for free</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To build the binaries with Visual C++ compiler, either run
|
|
|
|
|
"make-win.bat" script, or open the appropriate project files in source
|
|
|
|
|
code directories with Visual Studio. The final executable will appear
|
|
|
|
|
under the "SoundTouch\bin" directory. If using the Visual Studio IDE
|
|
|
|
|
instead of the make-win.bat script, directories bin and lib may need to
|
|
|
|
|
be created manually to the SoundTouch package root for the final
|
|
|
|
|
executables. The make-win.bat script creates these directories
|
|
|
|
|
automatically. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>C# example</strong>: The source code package includes also a C# example
|
|
|
|
|
application for Windows that shows how to invoke SoundTouch.dll
|
2019-02-02 16:50:38 +00:00
|
|
|
dynamic-load library for processing mp3 audio.
|
2021-11-22 02:36:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<p><strong>OpenMP NOTE</strong>: If activating the OpenMP parallel computing in
|
|
|
|
|
the compilation, the target program will require additional vcomp dll library to
|
|
|
|
|
properly run. In Visual C++ 9.0 these libraries can be found in the following
|
|
|
|
|
folders.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>x86 32bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
|
9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.OPENMP\vcomp90.dll</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>x64 64bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
|
9.0\VC\redist\amd64\Microsoft.VC90.OPENMP\vcomp90.dll</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In other VC++ versions the required library will be expectedly found in similar
|
|
|
|
|
"redist" location.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Notice that as minor demonstration of a "dll hell" phenomenon both the 32-bit
|
|
|
|
|
and 64-bit version of vcomp90.dll have the same filename but different contents,
|
|
|
|
|
thus choose the proper version to allow the program to start.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>2.2. Building in Gnu platforms</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The SoundTouch library compiles in practically any platform
|
|
|
|
|
supporting GNU compiler (GCC) tools.
|
|
|
|
|
<h4>2.2.1 Compiling with autotools</h4>

|
|
|
|
|
<p>To build and install the binaries, run the following commands in
|
|
|
|
|
/soundtouch directory:</p>

<b>Compiling portable Shared Library / DLL version</b>
|
2024-08-06 02:23:12 +00:00
|
|
|
<p> The GNU autotools compilation automatically builds an additional dynamic-link version
|
|
|
|
|
of SoundTouch library that features position-independent code and "C"-style API that is
|
|
|
|
|
more suitable for calling the SoundTouch routines from other programming languages.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This dynamic-link library is built under source/SoundTouchDLL directory, whose
|
|
|
|
|
subdirectories also comtain simple example apps that use the dynamic-link library.

<h4><b>2.2.2 Compiling with cmake</b></h4>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>'cmake' build scripts are provided as an alternative to the autotools toolchain.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To install cmake build prerequisites:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre> sudo apt-get install libtool build-essential cmake</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To build:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
cmake .
|
|
|
|
|
make -j
|
|
|
|
|
make install</pre>
|
2024-08-06 02:23:12 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>To list available build options:</p>

|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
cmake -LH</pre>
|
2021-11-22 02:36:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>To compile the additional portable Shared Library / DLL version with the native C-language API:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
|
|
|
cmake . -DSOUNDTOUCH_DLL=ON

<h3>2.3. Building in Android</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Android compilation instructions are within the
|
|
|
|
|
source code package, see file "<b>source/Android-lib/README-SoundTouch-Android.html</b>"
|
2015-10-08 00:17:50 +00:00
|
|
|
in the source code package. </p>
|
2021-11-22 02:36:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>The Android compilation automatically builds separate .so library binaries
|
|
|
|
|
for ARM, X86 and MIPS processor architectures. For optimal device support,
|
|
|
|
|
include all these .so library binaries into the Android .apk application
|
|
|
|
|
package, so the target Android device can automatically choose the proper
|
|
|
|
|
library binary version to use.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The <strong>source/Android-lib</strong> folder includes also an Android
|
|
|
|
|
example application that processes WAV audio files using SoundTouch library in
|
|
|
|
|
Android devices.</p>

<h2>3. About implementation & Usage tips <h3>3.1. Supported sample data formats</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The sample data format can be chosen between 16bit signed integer
|
|
|
|
|
and 32bit floating point values.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
</p> The default sample type is 32bit floating point format,
|
|
|
|
|
which also provides better sound quality than integer format because
|
|
|
|
|
integer algorithms need to scale already intermediate calculation results to
|
|
|
|
|
avoid integer overflows. These early integer scalings can slightly degrade
|
|
|
|
|
output quality.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> In Windows environment, the sample data format is chosen in file
|
|
|
|
|
"STTypes.h" by choosing one of the following defines:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <span style="font-weight: bold;">#define
|
|
|
|
|
SOUNDTOUCH_INTEGER_SAMPLES</span> for 16bit signed integer</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <span style="font-weight: bold;">#define </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">SOUNDTOUCH_</span><span
|
|
|
|
|
style="font-weight: bold;">FLOAT_SAMPLES</span> for 32bit floating
|
|
|
|
|
point</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> In GNU environment, the floating sample format is used by default,
|
|
|
|
|
but integer sample format can be chosen by giving the following switch
|
|
|
|
|
to the configure script: </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>./configure --enable-integer-samples</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The sample data can have either single (mono) or double (stereo)
|
|
|
|
|
audio channel. Stereo data is interleaved so that every other data
|
|
|
|
|
value is for left channel and every second for right channel. Notice
|
|
|
|
|
that while it'd be possible in theory to process stereo sound as two
|
|
|
|
|
separate mono channels, this isn't recommended because processing the
|
|
|
|
|
channels separately would result in losing the phase coherency between
|
|
|
|
|
the channels, which consequently would ruin the stereo effect.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Sample rates between 8000-48000H are supported.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.2. Processing latency</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The processing and latency constraints of the SoundTouch library are:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Input/output processing latency for the SoundTouch processor is
|
|
|
|
|
around 100 ms. This is when time-stretching is used. If the rate
|
|
|
|
|
transposing effect alone is used, the latency requirement is much
|
|
|
|
|
shorter, see section 'About algorithms'.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> Processing CD-quality sound (16bit stereo sound with 44100H
|
|
|
|
|
sample rate) in real-time or faster is possible starting from
|
|
|
|
|
processors equivalent to Intel Pentium 133Mh or better, if using the
|
|
|
|
|
"quick" processing algorithm. If not using the "quick" mode or if
|
|
|
|
|
floating point sample data are being used, several times more CPU power
|
|
|
|
|
is typically required.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.3. About algorithms</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>SoundTouch provides three seemingly independent effects: tempo,
|
|
|
|
|
pitch and playback rate control. These three controls are implemented
|
|
|
|
|
as combination of two primary effects, <em>sample rate transposing</em>
|
|
|
|
|
and <em>time-stretching</em>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><em>Sample rate transposing</em> affects both the audio stream
|
|
|
|
|
duration and pitch. It's implemented simply by converting the original
|
|
|
|
|
audio sample stream to the desired duration by interpolating from
|
|
|
|
|
the original audio samples. In SoundTouch, linear interpolation with
|
|
|
|
|
anti-alias filtering is used. Theoretically a higher-order
|
|
|
|
|
interpolation provide better result than 1st order linear
|
|
|
|
|
interpolation, but in audio application linear interpolation together
|
|
|
|
|
with anti-alias filtering performs subjectively about as well as
|
|
|
|
|
higher-order filtering would.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><em>Time-stretching </em>means changing the audio stream duration
|
|
|
|
|
without affecting it's pitch. SoundTouch uses WSOLA-like
|
|
|
|
|
time-stretching routines that operate in the time domain. Compared to
|
|
|
|
|
sample rate transposing, time-stretching is a much heavier operation
|
|
|
|
|
and also requires a longer processing "window" of sound samples used by
|
|
|
|
|
the processing algorithm, thus increasing the algorithm input/output
|
|
|
|
|
latency. Typical i/o latency for the SoundTouch time-stretch algorithm
|
|
|
|
|
is around 100 ms.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Sample rate transposing and time-stretching are then used together
|
|
|
|
|
to produce the tempo, pitch and rate controls:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <strong>'Tempo'</strong> control is implemented purely by
|
|
|
|
|
time-stretching.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <strong>'Rate</strong>' control is implemented purely by sample
|
|
|
|
|
rate transposing.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <strong>'Pitch</strong>' control is implemented as a
|
|
|
|
|
combination of time-stretching and sample rate transposing. For
|
|
|
|
|
example, to increase pitch the audio stream is first time-stretched to
|
|
|
|
|
longer duration (without affecting pitch) and then transposed back to
|
|
|
|
|
original duration by sample rate transposing, which simultaneously
|
|
|
|
|
reduces duration and increases pitch. The result is original duration
|
|
|
|
|
but increased pitch.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.4 Tuning the algorithm parameters</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The time-stretch algorithm has few parameters that can be tuned to
|
|
|
|
|
optimize sound quality for certain application. The current default
|
|
|
|
|
parameters have been chosen by iterative if-then analysis (read: "trial
|
|
|
|
|
and error") to obtain best subjective sound quality in pop/rock music
|
|
|
|
|
processing, but in applications processing different kind of sound the
|
|
|
|
|
default parameter set may result into a sub-optimal result.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The time-stretch algorithm default parameter values are set by the
|
|
|
|
|
following #defines in file "TDStretch.h":</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|

|
<p>These parameters affect to the time-stretch algorithm as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <strong>DEFAULT_SEQUENCE_MS</strong>: This is the default
|
|
|
|
|
length of a single processing sequence in milliseconds which determines
|
|
|
|
|
the how the original sound is chopped in the time-stretch algorithm.
|
|
|
|
|
Larger values mean fewer sequences are used in processing. In principle
|
|
|
|
|
a larger value sounds better when slowing down the tempo, but worse
|
|
|
|
|
when increasing the tempo and vice versa.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
By default, this setting value is calculated automatically according to
|
|
|
|
|
tempo value.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <strong>DEFAULT_SEEKWINDOW_MS</strong>: The seeking window
|
|
|
|
|
default length in milliseconds is for the algorithm that seeks the best
|
|
|
|
|
possible overlapping location. This determines from how wide a sample
|
|
|
|
|
"window" the algorithm can use to find an optimal mixing location when
|
|
|
|
|
the sound sequences are to be linked back together.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
The bigger this window setting is, the higher the possibility to find a
|
|
|
|
|
better mixing position becomes, but at the same time large values may
|
|
|
|
|
cause a "drifting" sound artifact because neighboring sequences can be
|
|
|
|
|
chosen at more uneven intervals. If there's a disturbing artifact that
|
|
|
|
|
sounds as if a constant frequency was drifting around, try reducing
|
|
|
|
|
this setting.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
By default, this setting value is calculated automatically according to
|
|
|
|
|
tempo value.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> <strong>DEFAULT_OVERLAP_MS</strong>: Overlap length in
|
|
|
|
|
milliseconds. When the sound sequences are mixed back together to form
|
|
|
|
|
again a continuous sound stream, this parameter defines how much the
|
|
|
|
|
ends of the consecutive sequences will overlap with each other.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
This shouldn't be that critical parameter. If you reduce the
|
|
|
|
|
DEFAULT_SEQUENCE_MS setting by a large amount, you might wish to try a
|
|
|
|
|
smaller value on this.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Notice that these parameters can also be set during execution time
|
|
|
|
|
with functions "<strong>TDStretch::setParameters()</strong>" and "<strong>SoundTouch::setSetting()</strong>".</p>

<h3>3.5 Performance Optimizations </h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Integer vs floating point:</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Floating point sample type is generally recommended because it provides
|
|
|
|
|
better sound quality.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>However, execution speed difference between integer and floating point processing
|
|
|
|
|
depends on the CPU architecture. As rule of thumb,
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>in 32-bit x86 floating point and integer are roughly equally fast</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>in 64-bit x86/x64 floating point can be significantly faster than integer
|
|
|
|
|
version, because MMX integer optimizations are not available in the x64 architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
That depends on the compiler however, so that gcc can autovectorize integer routines
|
|
|
|
|
to work equally fast as floating point, where as Visual C++ (2017) does not
|
|
|
|
|
perform equally well and produces integer code that runs some 3x slower than
|
|
|
|
|
SSE-optimized floating poing code.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>in ARMv7 integer routines are twice as fast as floating point. Their
|
|
|
|
|
relative difference is roughly the same both with and without NEON; NEON
|
|
|
|
|
vfpu can however bring 2.4x speed improvement.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>in other platforms: try out if the execution time performance makes a
|
|
|
|
|
big difference</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>General optimizations:</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The time-stretch routine has a 'quick' mode that substantially
|
|
|
|
|
speeds up the algorithm but may slightly compromise the sound quality.
|
|
|
|
|
This mode is activated by calling SoundTouch::setSetting()
|
|
|
|
|
function with parameter id of SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK and value
|
|
|
|
|
"1", i.e. </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>setSetting(SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK, 1);</p>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>CPU-specific optimizations:</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Intel x86 specific SIMD optimizations are implemented using compiler
|
|
|
|
|
intrinsics, providing about a 3x processing speedup for x86 compatible
|
|
|
|
|
processors vs. non-SIMD implementation:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> MMX optimized routines are used in 32-bit x86 build when 16bit integer
|
|
|
|
|
sample type is used</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> SSE optimized routines are used in 32- and 64-bit x86 CPUs when 32bit
|
|
|
|
|
floating point sample type is used</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The algorithms are tuned to utilize autovectorization efficiently
|
|
|
|
|
also in other CPU architectures, for example ARM cpus see approx 2.4x processing
|
|
|
|
|
speedup when NEON SIMD support is present.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>3.5 OpenMP parallel computation</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>SoundTouch 1.9 onwards support running the algorithms parallel in several CPU
|
|
|
|
|
cores. Based on benchmark the experienced multi-core processing speed-up gain
|
|
|
|
|
ranges between +30% (on a high-spec dual-core x86 Windows PC) to 215% (on a moderately low-spec
|
|
|
|
|
quad-core ARM of Raspberry Pi2). </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>See an external blog article with more detailed discussion about the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.softwarecoven.com/parallel-computing-in-embedded-mobile-devices/">
|
|
|
|
|
SoundTouch OpenMP optimization</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The parallel computing support is implemented using OpenMP spec 3.0
|
|
|
|
|
instructions. These instructions are supported by Visual C++ 2008 and later, and
|
|
|
|
|
GCC v4.2 and later. Compilers that do not supporting OpenMP will ignore these
|
|
|
|
|
optimizations and routines will still work properly. Possible warnings about
|
|
|
|
|
unknown #pragmas are related to OpenMP support and can be safely ignored.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The OpenMP improvements are disabled by default, and need to be enabled by
|
|
|
|
|
developer during compile-time. Reason for this is that parallel processing adds
|
|
|
|
|
moderate runtime overhead in managing the multi-threading, so it may not be
|
|
|
|
|
necessary nor desirable in all applications. For example real-time processing
|
|
|
|
|
that is not constrained by CPU power will not benefit of speed-up provided by
|
|
|
|
|
the parallel processing, in the contrary it may increase power consumption due
|
|
|
|
|
to the increased overhead.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>However, applications that run on low-spec multi-core CPUs and may otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
have possibly constrained performance will benefit of the OpenMP improvements.
|
|
|
|
|
This include for example multi-core embedded devices.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>OpenMP parallel computation can be enabled before compiling SoundTouch
|
|
|
|
|
library as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>Visual Studio</strong>: Open properties for the <strong>SoundTouch
|
|
|
|
|
</strong>sub-project, browse to <strong>C/C++</strong> and <strong>Language
|
|
|
|
|
</strong>settings. Set
|
|
|
|
|
there "<strong>OpenMP support</strong>" to "<strong>Yes</strong>". Alternatively add
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>/openmp</strong> switch to command-line
|
|
|
|
|
parameters
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>GNU</strong>: Run the configure script with "<strong>./configure
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-openmp</strong>" switch, then run make as usually</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>Android</strong>: Add "<strong>-fopenmp</strong>" switches to compiler & linker
|
|
|
|
|
options, see README-SoundTouch-Android.html in the source code package for
|
|
|
|
|
more detailed instructions.</li>

<p>SoundStretch is a simple command-line application that can change
|
|
|
|
|
tempo, pitch and playback rates of WAV sound files. This program is
|
|
|
|
|
intended primarily to demonstrate how the "SoundTouch" library can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to process sound in your own program, but it can as well be used
|
|
|
|
|
for processing sound files.</p>

<p>Notes:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> To use standard input/output pipes for processing, give "stdin"
|
|
|
|
|
and "stdout" as input/output filenames correspondingly. The standard
|
|
|
|
|
input/output pipes will still carry the audio data in .wav audio file
|
|
|
|
|
format.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> The numerical switches allow both integer (e.g. "-tempo=123")
|
|
|
|
|
and decimal (e.g. "-tempo=123.45") numbers.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> The "-naa" and/or "-quick" switches can be used to reduce CPU
|
|
|
|
|
usage while compromising some sound quality</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li> The BPM detection algorithm works by detecting repeating bass or
|
|
|
|
|
drum patterns at low frequencies of <250Hz. A lower-than-expected
|
|
|
|
|
BPM figure may be reported for music with uneven or complex bass
|
|
|
|
|
patterns.</li>

<p><strong>Example 2</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The following command decreases the sound pitch (key) of the sound
|
|
|
|
|
file "orig.wav" by two semitones and stores the result to file
|
|
|
|
|
"dest.wav":</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -pitch=-2</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Example 3</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The following command processes the file "orig.wav" by decreasing
|
|
|
|
|
the sound tempo by 25.3% and increasing the sound pitch (key) by 1.5
|
|
|
|
|
semitones. Resulting .wav audio data is directed to standard output
|
|
|
|
|
pipe:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>soundstretch orig.wav stdout -tempo=-25.3 -pitch=1.5</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Example 4</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The following command detects the BPM rate of the file "orig.wav"
|
|
|
|
|
and adjusts the tempo to match 100 beats per minute. Result is stored
|
|
|
|
|
to file "dest.wav":</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -bpm=100</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Example 5</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The following command reads .wav sound data from standard input pipe
|
|
|
|
|
and estimates the BPM rate:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>soundstretch stdin -bpm</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Example 6</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The following command tunes song from original 440Hz tuning to 432Hz tuning:
|
|
|
|
|
this corresponds to lowering the pitch by -0.318 semitones:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
<pre>soundstretch original.wav output.wav -pitch=-0.318</pre>
|
|

|
2024-08-06 02:23:12 +00:00
|
|
|
<p><b>2.3.3:</b></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul class="current">
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Fixing compiler warnings, maintenance fixes to make/build files for various systems
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>2.3.2:</b></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Improve autotools makefiles to build the `SoundTouchDLL` dynamic-link link library with
|
|
|
|
|
C-style API. This library variation is easier to import and use from other programming
|
|
|
|
|
languages than the default C++ library.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
2021-11-22 02:36:08 +00:00
|
|
|
<p><b>2.3.1:</b></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Adjusted cmake build settings and header files that cmake installs</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>2.3.0:</b></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Disable setting "SOUNDTOUCH_ALLOW_NONEXACT_SIMD_OPTIMIZATION" by default. The original
|
|
|
|
|
purpose of this setting was to avoid performance penalty due to unaligned SIMD memory
|
|
|
|
|
accesses in old CPUs, but that is not any more issue in concurrent CPU SIMD implementations
|
|
|
|
|
and having this setting enabled can cause slight compromise in result quality.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Bugfix: soundtouch.clear() to really clear whole processing pipeline state. Earlier
|
|
|
|
|
individual variables were left uncleared, which caused slightly different result if
|
|
|
|
|
the same audio stream were processed again after calling clear().
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Bugfix: TDstretch to align initial offset position to be in middle of correlation search
|
|
|
|
|
window. This ensures that with zero tempo change the output will be same as input.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Bugfix: Fix a bug in TDstrectch with too small initial skipFract value that occurred
|
2024-08-06 02:23:12 +00:00
|
|
|
with certain processing parameter settings: Replace assert with assignment that
|
2021-11-22 02:36:08 +00:00
|
|
|
corrects the situation.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Remove OpenMP "_init_threading" workaround from Android build as it's not needed with concurrent
|
|
|
|
|
Android SDKs any more.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>2.2:</b></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Improved source codes so that compiler can autovectorize them more effectively.
|
|
|
|
|
This brings remarkable improvement e.g. ARM cpus equipped with NEON vfpu: Bencmarked
|
|
|
|
|
2.4x improvement in execution speed in ARMv7l vs the previous SoundTouch version
|
|
|
|
|
for both integer and floating point sample types.
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Bugfix: Resolved bad sound quality when using integer sample types in non-x86 CPU</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Bugfix: Fixed possible reading past end of array in BPM peak detection algorithm</li>
