    摘要: Provided are, among other things, systems, methods and techniques for processing an audio signal to add virtual bass. In one representative embodiment, an apparatus includes: (a) an input line that inputs an original audio signal; (b) a bass extraction filter that extracts a bass portion of such original audio signal; (c) an estimator that estimates a fundamental frequency of a bass sound within such bass portion; (d) a frequency translator that shifts the bass portion by a positive frequency increment that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency estimated by the estimator, thereby providing a virtual bass signal; (f) an adder having (i) inputs coupled to the original audio signal and to the virtual bass signal and (ii) an output; and (g) an audio output device coupled to the output of the adder.

    摘要: Provided are, among other things, systems, methods and techniques for loudness-based audio-signal compensation. According to one such system, an input line accepts an input audio signal; a loudness estimator, coupled to the input line, processes the input audio signal to obtain an audio playback loudness level and also provides a production loudness level for the input audio signal; and a filter generator/selector coupled to an output of the loudness estimator provides an audio compensation filter based on the production loudness level and the audio playback loudness level. The input signal is processed by the audio compensation filter to provide an output signal.

    摘要: Provided are, among other things, systems, methods and techniques for audio-signal processing. One representative embodiment includes HT sub-band analysis/decomposition modules, e.g., one for each audio channel and one for an echo reference signal. Each HT sub-band analysis/decomposition module includes a Hilbert Transformation module and an analysis/decomposition filter bank and provides sub-band outputs. Echo-cancellation modules, e.g., one for each audio channel, perform echo-cancellation processing on such sub-bands. Beamforming modules, e.g., one for each sub-band, then perform beamforming, e.g., across all audio channels. Finally, a resynthesis stage combines the different sub-band outputs in order to provide a system output signal.

    摘要: Provided are systems, methods and techniques for compressing the dynamic range of an audio signal. In one implementation: an input audio signal is obtained, and a time-varying gain signal is provided based on it and a desired output range. The time-varying preliminary gain signal is then applied to the input audio signal to provide an output audio signal. Provision of the time-varying gain signal involves lowpass filtering a signal that is based on the input audio signal, using an attack gain-response time and a release gain-response time as filtering parameters, with the attack gain-response time decreased and the release gain-response time increased in response to a determination that a transient is occurring in the input audio signal.
