Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for correcting or otherwise modifying audio signals based on a variety of parameters. One apparatus includes parameter selecting logic that determines one or more audio signal parameter settings, and rule book logic that determines if the audio signal parameter settings are allowable for the audio reproduction system configuration and then establishes an appropriate parameter code. The apparatus further includes correction logic that receives or accesses an audio data signal and based on the parameter code applies audio signal parameter settings to at least a portion of the audio data signal to modify the audio data signal.
Claims61
A method comprising:
- determining at least one audio signal parameter setting;
- determining if said at least one audio signal parameter setting is allowable for a audio reproduction system configuration based at least in part on at least one rule associated with said audio reproduction system configuration;
- and
- applying said at least one audio signal parameter setting to at least one portion of an audio data signal to modify said audio data signal.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing acts comprising:
- establishing at least one audio signal parameter setting;
- and
- applying said at least one audio signal parameter setting to at least one portion of an audio data signal to modify said audio data signal, if said at least one audio signal parameter setting is allowable for a audio reproduction system configuration based at least in part on at least one rule associated with said audio reproduction system configuration.
An apparatus comprising:
- parameter selecting logic configured to determine at least one audio signal parameter setting;
- rule book logic operatively coupled to said parameter selecting logic and configured to determine if said at least one audio signal parameter setting is allowable for a audio reproduction system configuration based at least in part on at least one rule associated with said audio reproduction system configuration, and configured to output parameter code;
- and
- correction logic operatively configured to receive an audio data signal and said parameter code, and apply said at least one audio signal parameter setting in said parameter code to at least one portion of said audio data signal to modify said audio data signal.
The apparatus as recited in claim 60, wherein said correction logic includes digital signal processing (DSP) logic.
