Abstract
A recorded voice message having a first length and a background sound having a second length longer than the first length are received. The first length of the recorded voice message is determined. The level of a portion of the background sound is lowered, the lowered portion having a length that is substantially the same as the first length. The recorded voice message and the lowered portion of the background sound are interleaved. The length of the background sound is adjusted to the first length plus a third length.
Claims27
A method for automatically mixing audio signals in a predetermined manner, said method comprising:
- receiving a recorded voice message having a first length, and a background sound having
- a second length longer than the first length;
- determining the first length of the recorded voice message;
- lowering the level of a portion of the background sound, the lowered portion having a length that is substantially the same as the first length;
- interleaving the recorded voice message and the lowered portion of the background sound;
- and
- adjusting the length of the background sound to the first length plus a third length.
An apparatus for automatically mixing audio signals in a predetermined manner, said apparatus being operatively configured as a client node operatively coupled to a host node over a network, said apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving a recorded voice message having a first length, and a background sound having a second length longer than the first length;
- means for determining the first length of the recorded voice message;
- means for lowering the level of a portion of the background sound, the lowered portion having a length that is substantially the same as the first length;
- means for interleaving the recorded voice message and the lowered portion of the background sound;
- and
- means for adjusting the length of the background sound to the first length plus a third length.
An article of manufacture in the form of a computer readable medium having sequences of instructions recorded therein to cause the computer to perform a process for automatically mixing audio signals in a predetermined manner, said process comprising:
- receiving a recorded voice message having a first length, and a background sound having a second length longer than the first length;
- determining the first length of the recorded voice message;
- lowering the level of a portion of the background sound, the lowered portion having a length that is substantially the same as the first length;
- interleaving the recorded voice message and the lowered portion of the background sound;
- and
- adjusting the length of the background sound to the first length plus a third length.
