Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products for displaying audio data are provided. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method is provided. The method includes receiving audio data and displaying a composite image representing the audio data. The composite image combines a first representation and a distinct second representation of the audio data. Each representation is visible in the composite image and the representations appear in the composite image as if laid one over the other.
Claims30
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving audio data;
- and
- identifying editing points including displaying, on a display device, a composite image representing the audio data, the composite image combining a first representation of a first feature of the audio data and a distinct second representation of a different second feature of the audio data, each representation being visible in the composite image, the representations appearing in the composite image as if laid one over the other to identify the editing points, wherein the first representation of the first feature and the second representation of the second feature are each of a different representation type selected from the group including a frequency spectrogram, an amplitude waveform, a pan position plot, and a phase display, and wherein the first representation of the first feature of the audio data includes a first set of editing points and the second representation of the second feature of the audio data includes a second set of editing points, and wherein the second set of editing points are more visible than the first set of editing points.
A computer program product, encoded on a tangible program carrier, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving audio data;
- and
- identifying editing points including displaying, on a display device, a composite image representing the audio data, the composite image combining a first representation of a first feature of the audio data and a distinct second representation of a different second feature of the audio data, each representation being visible in the composite image, the representations appearing in the composite image as if laid one over the other to identify the editing points, wherein the first representation of the first feature and the second representation of the second feature are each of a different representation type selected from the group including a frequency spectrogram, an amplitude waveform, a pan position plot, and a phase display, and wherein the first representation of the first feature of the audio data includes a first set of editing points and the second representation of the second feature of the audio data includes a second set of editing points, and wherein the second set of editing points are more visible than the first set of editing points.
A system comprising:
- a user interface device;
- and
- one or more computers operable to interact with the user interface device and to:
- receiving audio data;
- and
- identifying editing points including displaying a composite image representing the audio data, the composite image combining a first representation of a first feature of the audio data and a distinct second representation of a different second feature of the audio data, each representation being visible in the composite image, the representations appearing in the composite image as if laid one over the other to identify the editing points, wherein the first representation of the first feature and the second representation of the second feature are each of a different representation type selected from the group including a frequency spectrogram, an amplitude waveform, a pan position plot, and a phase display, and wherein the first representation of the first feature of the audio data includes a first set of editing points and the second representation of the second feature of the audio data includes a second set of editing points, and wherein the second set of editing points are more visible than the first set of editing points.
