  • Changing a display based on transients in audio data
    Publication number: 20080255688
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for changing a visual display in response to transients in audio data is provided. Transients, or sudden changes in frequency, in audio data is correlated to abrupt sounds in the audio data such as beats that cannot be easily detected by analyzing the audio data's amplitude or frequency alone. Detecting transients provides a user with a way to change a visual display based on the abrupt changes in audio data. The user can also specify various frequency ranges of interest within which transient detection is performed and correlate these detections with different changes in the visual display.
