An apparatus or method to allow a user to control an audio processing operation of an internal and/or external microphone(s). The method includes providing a configurable user interface which enables mixing of audio signals through interaction with the user interface. The audio signals may be captured with internal or external micorphones.

Adjusting gains of an audio mix. Audio tracks using respective gains are individually analyzed to compute a first metric of frequency content. A user input specifies a desired second metric of the frequency content. Responsive to the user input, respective gains of the audio tracks are collectively and simultaneously adjusted to produce respective adjusted gains of the audio tracks. A second audio mix when played of the audio tracks with the respective adjusted gains has a third metric of frequency content different from the first metric of frequency content. The third metric is closer to the second metric than said first metric.

The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for presenting operations in a presentation. A technique is provided for allowing a user to insert media items on consecutive slides. During a presentation mode, the media items are determined to be two instances of a same media item, and matched such that the media item plays continuously across multiple slides. Another technique is provided to allow a user to utilize a user input to override a linearly-defined set of actions within a presentation. Another technique is utilized to temporarily select a visually obstructed object in a graphic editing interface such that the visually obstructed object may be manipulated during the temporary selection mode.

In accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter, mechanisms for seamless audio melding between audio items in a playlist are provided. In some embodiments, a method for transitioning between audio items in playlists is provided, comprising: identifying a sequence of audio items in a playlist of audio items, wherein the sequence of audio items includes a first audio item and a second audio item that is to be played subsequent to the first audio item; and modifying an end portion of the first audio item and a beginning portion of the second audio item, where the end portion of the first audio item and the beginning portion of the second audio item are to be played concurrently to transition between the first audio item and the second audio item, wherein the end portion of the first audio item and the beginning portion of the second audio item have an overlap duration, and wherein modifying the end portion of the first audio item and the beginning portion of the second audio item comprises: generating a first spectrogram corresponding to the end portion of the first audio item and a second spectrogram corresponding to the beginning portion of the second audio item; identifying, for each frequency band in a series of frequency bands, a window over which the first spectrogram within the end portion of the first audio item and the second spectrogram within the beginning portion of the second audio item have a particular cross-correlation; modifying, for each frequency band in the series of frequency bands, the end portion of the first spectrogram and the beginning portion of the second spectrogram such that amplitudes of frequencies within the frequency band decrease within the first spectrogram over the end portion of the first spectrogram and that amplitudes of frequencies within the frequency band increase within the second spectrogram over the beginning portion of the second spectrogram; and generating a modified version of the first audio item the includes the modified end portion of the first audio item based on the modified end portion of the first spectrogram and generating a modified version of the second audio item that includes the modified beginning portion of the second audio item based on the modified beginning portion of the second spectrogram.

A method for controlling a playback tempo of an audio track to be presented at an audio output, the audio track comprising a plurality of audio components, a first audio component of the plurality of audio components being associated with a plurality of sets of audio data, wherein each set of audio data in the plurality of sets of audio data is associated with a respective playback tempo range, the method comprising receiving a playback tempo for presenting the audio track at the audio output, selecting, from the plurality of sets of audio data, a set of audio data that has an associated playback tempo range comprising the received playback tempo, and allocating the selected set of audio data to the first audio component for presenting the audio track at the audio output.

A device for processing audio signals, including: first and second input units providing first and second input signals of first and second audio tracks, a decomposition unit to decompose the first input audio signal to obtain a plurality of decomposed signals, a playback unit configured to start playback of a first output signal obtained from recombining at least a first decomposed signal at a first volume level with a second decomposed signal at a second volume level, such that the first output signal substantially equals the first input signal, and a transition unit for performing a transition between playback of the first output signal and playback of a second output signal obtained from the second input signal. The transition unit has a volume control section adapted for reducing the first and second volume levels according to first and second transition functions.

A method is described that processes an audio signal. A discontinuity between a filtered past frame and a filtered current frame of the audio signal is removed using linear predictive filtering.

A method including obtaining a first clean signal and a first processed signal dependent upon audio input at a first microphone; obtaining a second clean signal and a second processed signal dependent upon audio input at a second microphone; using the first clean signal and the second clean signal to enable further processing of at least the first processed signal and the second processed signal.

A method including obtaining a first clean signal and a first processed signal dependent upon audio input at a first microphone; obtaining a second clean signal and a second processed signal dependent upon audio input at a second microphone; using the first clean signal and the second clean signal to enable further processing of at least the first processed signal and the second processed signal.
