Help with wav files

To whom this may concern, can you please help me with this problem!
I am trying to pass a wav file without the header just the data into a Vector in Java.
I need to convert this Matlab (adaptive decorrelation filter) file into Java.
function [v1, v2, a, b, c] = adf(y1, y2, mu1, mu2, delay, Na, Nb);
%[v1, v2, a, b, c] = adf(y1, y2, mu1, mu2, delay, Na, Nb) implements the
%adaptive decorrelation filter. The Lx1 vectors y1 and y2 are microphone
%signals, mu1 and mu2 are ADF stepsizes, delay is any constant delay that
%the microphone signals might have incurred, and Na and Nb are the ADF
%filter lengths. The function returns the separated signals in v1 and v2,
%and the ADF coefficients in a and b.
a = zeros(Na, 1); %ADF coefficients
b = zeros(Nb, 1); %ADF coefficients
L = length(y1); %lenght of Microphone signals
vvec1 = zeros(Nb, 1);
vvec2 = zeros(Na, 1);
yvec1 = zeros(Nb, 1);
yvec2 = zeros(Na, 1);
v1 = zeros(L, 1);
v2 = zeros(L, 1);
for i = 1+delay: L
yvec1 = [y1(i); yvec1(1: Nb-1)];
yvec2 = [y2(i); yvec2(1: Na-1)];
v1(i) = y1(i-delay) - yvec2'*a;
v2(i) = y2(i-delay) - yvec1'*b;
vvec1 = [v1(i); vvec1(1: Nb-1)];
vvec2 = [v2(i); vvec2(1: Na-1)];
a = a+mu1*vvec2*v1(i);
b = b+mu2*vvec1*v2(i);
end
c =[1;zeros(Na+Nb-2, 1)] - conv(a,b); %impulse response of C(Z) = 1 - A(Z)B(Z)

To whom this may concern, can you please help me with
this problem!
I am trying to pass a wav file without the header just

  • Help with wav file, stop and play buttons

    Hey everyone,
    I'm new to actionscript, and flash for that matter. I created
    a new flash file, and a new layer. On that layer I put 2 buttons,
    btnPlay and btnStop.
    I found some code on this forum, and tried it, but it isn't
    working. The code is below. I get no errors, but when I test the
    movie, it doesn't play any music. I selected this layer, selected
    frame 1, and put this code in the actions window.
    mySound = new Sound();
    btnPlay.onRelease = function () {
    mySound.attachSound("adagio");
    mySound.start(0);
    btnStop.onRelease = function() {
    mySound.stop("adagio");
    I should also note, I have another layer with a movie clip on
    it, and another layer with a picture on it.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    As another note--I right clicked on the wav file in my
    library and selected linkage and export to first frame as well as
    export for actionscript (and named the linkage "adagio"). Might
    help with a solution.

  • Audition 5.5 - Help with .wav files for phone system - making a hold message PC & Mcc

    Hello everyone,
         I am really frustrated trying to create a .wav file for our phone system and I was hoping someone might have some suggestions as I am new to using Adobe Audition. Our phone system will only accept .wav files for our hold messages but the tricky part is that is can only be a maxiimum streaming bit rate of 64 kbps. Everything we've created under 256 kbps becomes in-audible and I'm really not sure what to do as the current messages sound fantastic. Our current hold message is 35 seconds long and we have another one we are about to do which will be 2 minutes long (uuuugh).
    - I've tried first converting the .wav file to an .mp3, lowering the bit rate to 64 kbps, then converting back to .wav but the bit rate goes up to almost 1500 kbps after re-converting.
    - I've tried making the track mono, reducing the sample rate to 22k but the size ends up being somewhere between 512 and 768. If I lower the sample rate much further and convert to 8bit, the audio sounds terrible.
    - I've also tried using Adobe Media Encoder, Audacity, Hand Brake, OS X Automator and a few other programs all with the same results.
    - I've tried re-recording the audio on a handheld .mp3 recorder hoping the initial quality would be less (originally recorded on a PC through Audition with a external mic).
    Unfortuantely, the person who used to do these conversions is no longer with the company, never documented the process and all I know is that they used to do this on a Mac. Also, the software that uplaods the files is a Linux based which is out of my area of expertise so I'm not able to tinker with it to make any headway.
    ** Any sort of suggestion would be greatly aprpeciated as I really don't know much about audio. I've been working on this for 2 weeks now and this is really driving me crazy. **

    Eugh! Converting to MP3 is absolutely not the thing to do!

    Okay, in reverse order: I know it sounds daft, but actually you want to start with the best recording you can possibly have. You are going to have to reduce its bit rate, but if you reduce a crap signal's bit rate, it inevitably ends up worse than reducing a good signal's one; when you think about that for a moment, it's going to make sense (I hope...).
    As for what you need to do - well it's going to have to be a mono file anyway (you haven't got a stereo telephone system), and that will immediately halve the streaming rate, but the other thing you need to bear in mind is that telephones have a limitited bandwidth, and that your sample rate, even at 22k, is going to give you more bandwidth than the system has. If you can reduce it to 8k, it will work fine. This will still give you an upper frequency limit of 4kHz, and that's more than adequate for telephone speech, believe it or not...
    The other thing, and this is where I think you may be running into trouble, is that 8 bit streaming is pretty much the norm here. All it does is to increase the noise floor, so that the signal to noise ratio is about 48dB instead of the 96dB it would be with a 16-bit signal. But, to get this to work to your advantage, you have to optimise the audio you are using in the first place. Chances are that you need to compress your recording so that it has a relatively limited dynamic range before reducing it to 8-bit, and then you'll be fine. This is better anyway for telephone systems - there's far less chance of bits of the message being missed because they're too quiet. Also, you don't want massive great peaks in the recording - these just reduce the maximum overall level for the majority of the message sound. So, you need to apply a limiter to get rid of them, leaving the majority of the speech sounding just as good, only louder. All of this you can easily do in Audition - don't need any other software at all.
    So, my guess is that the previous maker of your messages knew exactly what he was doing. Yes, he could have documented the basic steps, but he couldn't have been absolutely specific about it because no two recordings are the same. I'll attempt to explain the basic steps in English, but how well you will be able to follow this, I'm not sure...
    The basic process I'd go through with the recordings is firstly to normalize them to 0dB, then look at how far down most of the 'green' parts are - this is the bulk of the signal, and where all of the meaning is. Then, you apply a limiter to this so that those green parts don't have peaks sticking out of them. Then, if you need to, normalize again so that the green part moves to the upper part of the waveform space (towards where 0dB is). Then, if you need to, apply compression to the signal so that the level of it sounds about the same all through the message.
    Now, when you reduce your signal to mono, 8k, and 8-bit, pretty much everything about the original signal will still be there. That should stream 8-bit words at 8k, making 64k streaming for a single mono channel. This will work fine, but only if you optimise the signal first - otherwise no chance!

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy 

    You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

  • Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

    can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw  shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

    That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
    Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
    If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
    In case  you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

  • Emailed voicemails with .wav files no longer play

    My office has a VoIP system that I have set up so it sends me an email (Gmail not Outlook) with the voice mail message attached as a .wav file.  On Sunday my Droid Razr M stopped working and Verizon made me do a hard reset to restore factory settings.  Since then I can't open the voice mail messages.  When I try to play the message I get this error message: "Info  No app can open this attachment for viewing."
    What got reset/removed during the factory reset and how can I restore the ability to play voice mails?

    its the updates to google play music causing the problem
    go to settings > apps > all and remove updates to google play music and it will start working

  • Can you help with rematching file names

    After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
    Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
    Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.
    Tony

    Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
    "can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
    And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

  • Help with Reconnecting Files

    Over this past weekend I was moving, via Relocate Masters, large numbers of images from managed status on my MacBook Pro to referenced status on an external drive (an Air Disk, to be precise). This had gone fine for thousands of images, but Sunday night I returned to the computer to find that it was completely locked up in mid-Relocate, and seemed to have been locked up for a while. I'm not sure what happened, but it seemed bad -- I couldn't get to the Force Quit dialog, or anywhere else. I powered down by holding in the power button.
    Upon resurrecting things, Aperture would not open the library. Long story shorter, I rebuilt the database and was then able to see the library contents again. But then I noticed that many files were "offline." Digging further, and using the Manage Referenced Files box, I discovered that some 3500 files need to be reconnected.
    The Reconnect All button did a little bit of magic for me, but now I've gotten to a point where using Reconnect All only reconnects one file at a time. I was renaming files as I Relocated Masters, and my fear is that this is what has caused the disconnect. *So first,* can anyone tell me that this is what has caused the problem (the problem being my apparent need to now reconnect 3400 files, one-by-one)?
    *Second, and more importantly to me, do I have any recourse beyond reconnecting one-by-one?* Again, the problem seems to me to be that the library file expects a file named image.jpg (or whatever), because the change of the file name to greatimage.jpg that occurred during Relocation did not get written to the library file.
    Many thanks for all help and suggestions.

    I hope someone else can join in with a definitive answer to your problem, but I don't believe you will be happy using the configuration you are attempting to set up.
    Having Aperture access your images via wireless is going to be very very slow, and any connection problems will be very frustrating. I have even abandoned the idea of using wireless backup of image files because it so slow.
    Perhaps someone can help with your immediate problem, but I would strongly suggest you find a way to store your referenced files locally (a firewire drive would be ideal).
    Thanks. I certainly appreciate your thought, and before trying it myself, my instinct was the same as yours. That said, until the present problem cropped up, I have to say it has been quite a good solution. My network is 802.11n, and I've noticed no real lag in accessing the files or otherwise using Aperture with a library stored as this is.
    But yes, I hope someone is able to help me get these 3400-some files reconnected short of one-by-one.
    Thank you for your comments.

  • Help with moving files

    I'm having problems copying data across my network to my new mac mini and i'm looking for some help with how to resolve this issue.
    I'm using "Connect to Server' to connect via SMB to a Vista x64 machine that has the files I need to copy. I'm mounting the share as the user that has permissions to the files on the vista client. The connection is fine, but when I start the copy process, I receive an error message about not having the appropriate permissions to copy files and then the entire copy process fails. Here is the exact error message:
    Copy
    The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
    OK
    From the vista machine I have logged in as the same user and I have taken ownership of ALL of the files and folders I'm trying to copy. I also made sure that the folder is shared with EVERYONE having full access (not something I would normally do, but figured it might help this situation). The vista machine is in a workgroup if that makes a difference.
    Question 1: how can I do this via command line so that instead of stopping the entire file copy it skips the ones it can't copy and copies the rest of them?
    With hundreds of subfolders and thousands of files, I have no idea which ones it is failing to copy making this process quite painful.
    I'm also stuck on another basic issue - when I originally connected to the share, I told the OSX machine to remember the password. If I want to reconnect to the share using a different username and different password, how do I get OSX to reprompt me for this information?
    Help

    You are probably better off using
    ditto
    In a terminal
    man ditto
    and read the description and instructions.
    Yes, sadly, many copy process when the fail at a file abort the rest of the process. Windows does this as well.

  • Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

    In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
    That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
    Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
    import java.io.*;       //Imports the Java library

            String[] array;             //Dynamic array (empty)

    I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

    By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
    array[0] = "jim"
    array[1] = "laruie"
    and so on?
    That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
    What part of all that do you need help with?

  • Help with finding files

    I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!
    (I have itunes 8)

    Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.

  • Help with referenced files and importing

    This might be more complex than can be addressed here, but I'm struggling with the organization of aperture.
    Because I'm not sure I want use aperture forever, and because I occasionally like to use other photo editors, I've opted for a referenced file setup. I typically arrange my pictures into year/month sub folders, with additional folders for special subjects, like my kids. I've been doing this for a long time, it works for me, and I don't want to change.
    Problem #1 - avoiding duplicates when I import. When I stick the card in my computer I want to copy just the new files to the directory I specify. Image capture only looks for duplicates in the target directory, which is no help if I'm importing files to "November" from a card that has files that were previously imported to "October." The easiest solution would be to delete the images off of the card after importing, but I can't do that - my wife also wants to copy the pix to her computer and she may not copy for several weeks or months at a time.
    I tried using aperture's import feature to copy files directly from my camera's memory card. The import worked, but when I tried to locate the files on disk, aperture told me there were no referenced files. Any idea where they are?
    Problem #2 - import. Is there any way to make Aperture watch referenced directories and automatically add new files to the the appropriate project? It's a pain to keep manually importing files.
    Problem #3 - Organization. Is there any way to set up aperture so that a project = a physical folder on my drive? I get that Aperture is trying to abstract the physical location of my files, but I don't want them abstracted. Also, why is my aperture primary library 6.2 GB when I do all my work with referenced files? Where are my edited files stored? Are these in the primary library? Where are the files from my photostreams (from my phone) stored?
    Would any or all of these issues be resolved by moving to a managed file set up?
    Finally, if I can't get Aperture working the way I need it, any insight into how I'd use it as an external editor to something like Picasa? I really like the aperture editing tools - that's why I bought it. But the workflow is just killing me.
    Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It is not as complex as you are making it.  Aperture is not per se an editor.  It is for storing and organizing, and quickly decoding RAW images.  It is a pretty good editor, but it has the feature to allow you to specify an External Editor to which you can send images for more complex editing, and back -- all from within Aperture.
    You don't want to have your images referenced so you can also edit them with other programs.  That destroys the non destructive design of Aperture.  If you want Referenced images, you mostly want them so they can be on a different hard drive from that used by the Library for keeping track and storing the adjustments, and not so other programs can access them.
    You need to read further as to how and why Aperture works the way it does.

  • Having trouble with wav files

    We convert voicemails to wav and push them to each persons Exchange account. All iPhone users can listen to the wav file with the exception of one person. When they click on the wav file nothing happens. They are using a 3Gs. Any thoughts on what to look for?

    I too can't get wav files from my exchange server to download to my 3GS but I used to Be able to. I also cannot download them to my iPad either. I am assuming then that this must be something with my server but I don't think anything changed on it. Any thoughts?
