View Full Version : Audio frequency analysis


August 24th 06, 02:55 PM
I am interested is performing an analysis of an audio recording to
identify frequency changes, timing and volume data (signal processing
techniques ). I am using Visual Basic 6.0 and would like to use this
platform for development.

Thanx...

I suggest you might be better off with something like Matlab, or even
with Octave (which is a free Matlab clone). It already has power spectrum
functions, plotting functions, and filters built in.

Thanks Scott...

I downloaded Octave and it looks like there will be a bit of a
learning curve there for me. I have been able to find a bunch of
Visual Basic stuff which I am fiddling with now.

Planet Source Code also has a lot of code that seems applicable.
