transplantEnv: Transplant envelope

In soundgen: Sound Synthesis and Acoustic Analysis

Transplant envelope

Description

Extracts a smoothed amplitude envelope of the donor sound and applies it to the recipient sound. Both sounds are provided as numeric vectors; they can differ in length and sampling rate. Note that the result depends on the amount of smoothing (controlled by windowLength) and the chosen method of calculating the envelope. Very similar to setenv, but with a different smoothing algorithm and with a choice of several types of envelope: hil, rms, or peak.

Usage

transplantEnv(
  donor,
  samplingRateD = NULL,
  recipient,
  samplingRateR = samplingRateD,
  windowLength = 50,
  method = c("hil", "rms", "peak")[3],
  killDC = FALSE,
  dynamicRange = 80,
  plot = FALSE
)

Arguments

donor	the sound that "donates" the amplitude envelope
samplingRateD, samplingRateR	sampling rate of the donor and recipient, respectively (only needed for vectors, not files)
recipient	the sound that needs to have its amplitude envelope adjusted
windowLength	the length of smoothing window, ms
method	hil = Hilbert envelope, rms = root mean square amplitude, peak = peak amplitude per window
killDC	if TRUE, dynamically removes DC offset or similar deviations of average waveform from zero (see examples)
dynamicRange	parts of sound quieter than -dynamicRange dB will not be amplified
plot	if TRUE, plots the original sound, the smoothed envelope, and the compressed sound

Value

Returns the recipient sound with the donor's amplitude envelope - a numeric vector with the same sampling rate as the recipient

Examples

donor = rnorm(500) * seq(1, 0, length.out = 500)
recipient = soundgen(sylLen = 600, addSilence = 50)
transplantEnv(donor, samplingRateD = 200,
               recipient, samplingRateR = 16000,
               windowLength = 50, method = 'hil', plot = TRUE)
transplantEnv(donor, samplingRateD = 200,
               recipient, samplingRateR = 16000,
               windowLength = 10, method = 'peak', plot = TRUE)
