Digital Audio Effects

4.0 credits

This is a hands-on course that teaches how signal-processing may be used to alter the temporal and tonal characteristics of audio signals. Topics may include sampling, quantization, modulation effects, filters, delay-line-based effects, audio synthesis, non-linear effects, and spectral processing. An emphasis will be placed on developing algorithms that are optimized for real-time processing on embedded hardware. Students will develop and visualize algorithms in MATLAB, and implement them on the SHARC Audio Module DSP platform.
