Interactive Audio Effects Processing

📄 Project Abstract

1.1 Motivation for choosing this project In order fully profit on knowledge and experience, a project to combine the two disciplines of computer science and music was necessary. Over the past few years, musicians, songwriters and producers have used computers to aid them with songwriting and producing. One of the many ways to enhance audio recordings is by applying effects on to the raw sound files to give the sound a different quality. By evaluating the existing commercially available software, researching into D.S.P. (Digital Sound Processing) effects and addressing specific problems encountered personally in music technology, this project aims to create a D.S.P. effects plug-in, suitable for use in Cubase VST (an audio/M.I.D.I. software sequencer). Its function is to take an audio input, alter it using D.S.P. algorithms and output it in its new form. The scientific approach to the production of music is relatively new to me personally and sets up an enticing challenge to balance mus...
