Transient detection and modification in audio signals

A system for modifying an audio signal, comprising:

• an interface configured to obtain an audio signal;
• a transient analysis module configured to calculate a degree of transientness in a first portion of the audio signal;
• and
• a modification module configured to modify the first portion of the audio signal to an extent based at least in part on the degree of transientness calculated.

A computer program product for modifying an audio signal, the computer program product being embedded in a computer-readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• obtaining an audio signal;
• calculating a degree of transientness in a first portion of the audio signal;
• and
• modifying the first portion of the audio signal to an extent based at least in part on the degree of transientness calculated.
