Abstract: According to a preferred aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a system and method that allows the user to remove stationary and not stationary short time interference signals in speech or other recordings in the audio part of a video recording. The system is automatically analyzing the input signal and in a plurality of individual steps detects the interference signal and removes it accordingly.

Abstract: According to a preferred aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a system and method that allows the user to attenuate ambient noise in speech recordings in the audio part of a video recording. The user does not need to define particular sections or samples or individual parameters. The system is automatically analyzing the input signal and in a plurality of individual steps detects the ambient noise, determines an adaptive filter, implements the filter and therewith attenuates the ambient noise accordingly.

Abstract: There is provided an improved system and method of determining the tempo of a digitized musical work that, optionally, allows a user to participate in the BPM determination. A first preferred aspect includes determination of estimates of the BPM of a musical work by utilizing at least two different algorithms, thereby producing a plurality of separate BPM candidates. As a further preferred aspect, the method utilizes, as an optional step, input from the user to assist in selecting the “best” BPM from among the plurality of BPMs determined previously. Preferably, the user is given the option of “tapping along” with the music by pressing the mouse or a key on the computer in time to the music as it is played. The program analyzes the first few taps and, from that input, selects from the BPMs the one that is most consistent with the user's input.
