Abstract: A system receives audio information comprising at least one audio portion associated with an audio type, and provides a capability to modify the audio type. The system renders an amount of modification to the audio type, and renders the audio information resulting from the amount of modification to the audio type. The system provides a graphical user interface with which to render the audio information, and allows a user to modify the audio information, via the graphical user interface, by adjusting the audio type.

Abstract: An audio storage architecture allows an audio management application to manipulate and recombine segments of a musical piece such that the resulting finished composition includes parts (segments) from the decomposed piece, typically a song, adjustable for length by selectively replicating particular parts and combining with other parts such that the finished composition provides a similar audio experience in the predetermined duration. The architecture defines the parts with part variations of independent length, identified as performing a function of starting, middle, (looping) or ending parts. Each of the parts provides a musical segment that is integratable with other parts in a seamless manner that avoids audible artifacts (e.g. “pops” and “crackles”) common with conventional mechanical switching and mixing.

Abstract: An audio formatting process identifies a musical score of audio information operable to be rendered by a rendering application. The audio formatting process enumerates aspects of the score such that the aspects are operable to define renderable features of the score. The aspects further define a duration modifiable by the rendering application to a predetermined duration that preserves the tempo of the score. Additionally, the audio formatting process stores the enumerated aspects according to a predetermined syntax operable to indicate to the rendering application the manner of accessing each of the aspects of the score.
