  • Computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having sound processing program stored therein, sound processing system, sound processing apparatus, and sound processing method
    Patent number: 10841702
    Abstract: A BGM signal of sound of BGM is outputted over time, and a sound effect signal of sound of a sound effect is outputted at a timing determined based on information processing. If it is determined that a sound intensity at a predetermined frequency component of the sound effect to be outputted is low or a sound intensity at the predetermined frequency component of the BGM is high, adjustment is performed such that the sound intensity at the predetermined frequency component of the BGM to be outputted at the same timing as the sound effect is decreased. Then, a final sound signal including the sound of the sound effect and the sound of the BGM on which the adjustment has been performed, is synthesized and outputted.
