### Multi-channel audio upsampling interpolation

Does cubic interpolation (or any other) have any advantages over linear for the specific case of audio? You'd use neither for audio. The reason is simple: The signal models you typically assume for ...

### How do impulse response guitar amp simulators work?

When talking about modeling, there are two things that usually get modeled: 1. the guitar amp, and 2. the speaker cabinet. Only the latter is modeled by an impulse response, which means that the ...

### Noise reduction using multiple recordings of the same signal

Is it possible to reconstruct the original pure signal? No, that is information-theoretical impossible. Also, that signal doesn't exist, probably, to begin with ;) However, you can definitely ...

### Can Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Solve the Cocktail Party Problem?

The Cocktail Party Problem is a Blind Source Separation (BSS) problem. Given a linear mixture of signals: $$\boldsymbol{y} \left[ n \right] = A \boldsymbol{x} \left[ n \right]$$ We're trying to ...

### Finding Reference Audio Signal in Test Audio Signal and Cropping Accordingly

If you have a reference signal you want to find in a different signal then your model matches almost perfectly (Up to the environment the signal to be found is in) to Matched Filter. So basically you ...

### How do impulse response guitar amp simulators work?

If you're an EE student, you will have encountered the term LTI System (or you certainly will soon enough!): A system that, no matter the absolute time, outputs, given the same input, the same output; ...

### Realtime sample rate conversion

The consumption time and transmission time is identical: One second of data is still one second of data regardless of sampling time. However if the transmitter and receiver are not synchronized then ...

### Understanding the frequency domain

In simple terms, Image shown here speaks for itself. Before speaking about Fourier Transform black magic lets understand idea behind it. Work of the Mathematician Joseph Fourier demonstrated any ...

### Audio Processing Glossary

My own interpretation: Sound: a mechanical wave that propagates through the air or water. Audio: sound in the 20 Hz to 20 kHz range; in other words, sound that is (at least in theory) audible to a ...

### What is the principle behind my voice echoing perpetually when 2 separate devices are used for playback and recording on video calls?

On each individual device, the speaker output can get subtracted from the microphone before it gets sent to other locations. This prevents others from hearing themselves through your microphone. When ...

### Modelling Unwanted Signal in a LMS Adaptive Filter

The LMS and many of the variants of Adaptive Filters (In the Linear System context) work in the following settings (Intuitive): You have access to 2 signals. One signal is the result of the other one ...

### Does 1 kHz sine tone means $\sin(2(1000)\pi t)$ or $\sin(2(500)\pi t)$?

The trigonometric functions "do not know" what a Hertz is and they do not care either. The only thing they know is that a full circle is $2 \pi$ radians. Whether this circle concludes in days, hours, ...

### Multi-channel audio upsampling interpolation

Audio signals An audio special-purpose analog-to-digital converter (ADC) normally has an internal or external analog low-pass filter and samples the analog filtered signal at a multiple of the target ...

### Actual Sample Rate slightly off?

If you calculate the error, 44102/44100 is only about 45 parts per million. That is well within operating tolerance of many crystal oscillators used in consumer equipment to generate audio sampling ...

### What is the difference between undersampling and oversampling in analog to digital conversion ?

Good question as you can actually undersample and oversample at the same time! See my "DSP Puzzle" question on that specifically here: How do you simultaneously undersample and oversample? To best ...

### Modeling audio effects, reverse engineering

Now is there a general method to analyze and determine the exact function of that effect No, there can't be. Effects can (and will be) arbitrary, non-linear, memory-affected mappings. You will have ...

### What is difference between frequency and pitch?in nutshell and simple words?

Frequency is mathematically defined as the number of cycles per second. So it is a more strict word mathematically. It is represented numerically by the unit called Hertz. $f=1/T$, where $T$ ...

### Sampling a low-frequency sound doesn't work at some sampling rates

Could be a few things You may be borderline clipping. Your sine wave has an amplitude of 1, which is just at the edge of clipping (depending on how its rendered). Try it with an amplitude of 0.5 Your ...

### What is the principle behind my voice echoing perpetually when 2 separate devices are used for playback and recording on video calls?

The Explanation from @ScienceGeyser provides a good explanation to the phenomenon. There are two more things to address the question on how is this phenomenon avoided. The feedback read by the ...
