Audio Processing

    Hi there,

    Nice presentation about audio processing in Python/NumPy! For a while, I used audiolab as well, but after some installation problems, and since I only use it for reading/writing files, almost exclusively WAV files, I decided to use a handy module in scipy.io (at least since scipy 0.8) : scipy.io.wavfile.

    It’s worth mentioning here, I guess, since it’s potentially the easiest to install (assuming you installed scipy), and for many people it might just be what they need. Not many functionalities, but enough with read/write for me!

    Cheers,

    Jean-Louis

    max(abs(data)) will find a maximum that occurs with negative amplitude that will escape the presented abs(max(data)).

    in reference to jean louis’ comment. scipy.io cannot handle 24bit wav files. audiolab can. not a problem for a lot of people I imagine but it is for me.

    the binaries for audiolab have disappeared (on mac still avaialable for pc) meaning you have to install from source now which I am failing to do. can anyone post a link to the binaries?
