<h2>1. Introduction
</h2>
<p>SoundTouch is an open-source audio processing library that allows changing the
sound tempo, pitch and playback rate parameters independently from each other,
i.e.:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Sound tempo can be increased or decreased while maintaining the original pitch
<li>
Sound pitch can be increased or decreased while maintaining the original tempo
<li>
Change playback rate that affects both tempo and pitch at the same time
<li>
Choose any combination of tempo/pitch/rate</li>
</ul>

<h2>2. Compiling SoundTouch</h2>
<p>Before compiling, notice that you can choose the sample data format if it's
desirable to use floating point sample data instead of 16bit integers. See
section "sample data format" for more information.</p>
<h3>2.1. Building in Microsoft Windows</h3>
<p>Project files for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual C++ .NET are supplied with
the source code package.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Please notice that SoundTouch library uses processor-specific optimizations for
Pentium III and AMD processors. Visual Studio .NET and later versions supports
the required instructions by default, but Visual Studio 6.0 requires a
processor pack upgrade to be installed in order to support these optimizations.
The processor pack upgrade can be downloaded from Microsoft site at this URL:</p>
<p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718349.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718349.aspx</a></p>
<p>If the above URL is unavailable or removed, go to <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/">
http://msdn.microsoft.com</a> and perform a search with keywords "processor
pack".
</p>
<p>To build the binaries with Visual C++ compiler, either run "make-win.bat"
script, or open the appropriate project files in source code directories with
Visual Studio. The final executable will appear under the "SoundTouch\bin"
directory. If using the Visual Studio IDE instead of the make-win.bat script,
directories bin and lib may need to be created manually to the SoundTouch
package root for the final executables. The make-win.bat script creates these
directories automatically.
</p>
<h3>2.2. Building in Gnu platforms</h3>
<p>The SoundTouch library can be compiled in practically any platform supporting
GNU compiler (GCC) tools. SoundTouch have been tested with gcc version 3.3.4.,
but it shouldn't be very specific about the gcc version. Assembler-level
performance optimizations for GNU platform are currently available in x86
platforms only, they are automatically disabled and replaced with standard C
routines in other processor platforms.</p>
<p>To build and install the binaries, run the following commands in the SoundTouch/
directory:</p>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<pre>./configure -</pre>
</td>
<td>
<p>Configures the SoundTouch package for the local environment.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<pre>make -</pre>
</td>
<td>
<p>Builds the SoundTouch library &amp; SoundStretch utility.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<pre>make install -</pre>
</td>
<td>
<p>Installs the SoundTouch &amp; BPM libraries to <b>/usr/local/lib</b> and
SoundStretch utility to <b>/usr/local/bin</b>. Please notice that 'root'
privileges may be required to install the binaries to the destination
locations.</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h4><b>2.2.1 Required GNU tools</b>&nbsp;</h4>
<p>
Bash shell, GNU C++ compiler, libtool, autoconf and automake tools are required
for compiling the SoundTouch library. These are usually included with the
GNU/Linux distribution, but if not, install these packages first. For example,
in Ubuntu Linux these can be acquired and installed with the following command:</p>
<pre><b>sudo apt-get install automake autoconf libtool build-essential</b></pre>
<h4><b>2.2.2 Problems with GCC compiler compatibility</b></h4>
<p>At the release time the SoundTouch package has been tested to compile in
GNU/Linux platform. However, in past it's happened that new gcc versions aren't
necessarily compatible with the assembler settings used in the optimized
routines. <b>If you have problems getting the SoundTouch library compiled, try the
workaround of disabling the optimizations</b> by editing the file
"include/STTypes.h" and removing the following definition there:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>#define ALLOW_OPTIMIZATIONS 1</pre>
</blockquote>
<h4><b>2.2.3 Problems with configure script or build process</b>&nbsp;</h4>
<p>Incompatibilities between various GNU toolchain versions may cause errors when
running the "configure" script or building the source codes, if your GNU tool
versions are not compatible with the versions used for preparing the SoundTouch
kit.&nbsp;</p>
<p>To resolve the issue, regenerate the configure scripts with your local tool set
by running the "<b>./bootstrap</b>" script included in the SoundTouch source
code kit. After that, run the <b>configure</b> script and <b>make</b> as
usually.</p>
<h4><b>2.2.4 Compiler issues with non-x86 processors</b></h4>
<p>SoundTouch library works also on non-x86 processors.</p>
<p>However, in case that you get compiler errors when trying to compile for
non-Intel processor, edit the file "<b>source\SoundTouch\Makefile.am</b>" and
remove the "<b>-msse2</b>" flag on the <b>AM_CXXFLAGS </b>line:</p>
<pre><b>AM_CXXFLAGS=-O3 -fcheck-new -I../../include&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; # Note: -msse2 flag removed!</b></pre>
<p>After that, run "<b>./bootstrap</b>" script, and then run <b>configure</b> and <b>make</b>
again.</p>

<h2>3. About implementation &amp; Usage tips</h2>
<h3>3.1. Supported sample data formats</h3>
<p>The sample data format can be chosen between 16bit signed integer and 32bit
floating point values, the default is 32bit floating point.
</p>
<p>
In Windows environment, the sample data format is chosen in file "STTypes.h" by
choosing one of the following defines:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">#define INTEGER_SAMPLES</span>
for 16bit signed integer
<li>
<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">#define FLOAT_SAMPLES</span>
for 32bit floating point</li>
</ul>
<p>
In GNU environment, the floating sample format is used by default, but integer
sample format can be chosen by giving the following switch to the configure
script: <blockquote>
<pre>./configure --enable-integer-samples</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The sample data can have either single (mono) or double (stereo) audio channel.
Stereo data is interleaved so that every other data value is for left channel
and every second for right channel. Notice that while it'd be possible in
theory to process stereo sound as two separate mono channels, this isn't
recommended because processing the channels separately would result in losing
the phase coherency between the channels, which consequently would ruin the
stereo effect.</p>
<p>Sample rates between 8000-48000H are supported.</p>
<h3>3.2. Processing latency</h3>
<p>The processing and latency constraints of the SoundTouch library are:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Input/output processing latency for the SoundTouch processor is around 100 ms.
This is when time-stretching is used. If the rate transposing effect alone is
used, the latency requirement is much shorter, see section 'About algorithms'.
<li>
Processing CD-quality sound (16bit stereo sound with 44100H sample rate) in
real-time or faster is possible starting from processors equivalent to Intel
Pentium 133Mh or better, if using the "quick" processing algorithm. If not
using the "quick" mode or if floating point sample data are being used, several
times more CPU power is typically required.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3.3. About algorithms</h3>
<p>SoundTouch provides three seemingly independent effects: tempo, pitch and
playback rate control. These three controls are implemented as combination of
two primary effects, <em>sample rate transposing</em> and <em>time-stretching</em>.</p>
<p><em>Sample rate transposing</em> affects both the audio stream duration and
pitch. It's implemented simply by converting the original audio sample stream
to the&nbsp; desired duration by interpolating from the original audio samples.
In SoundTouch, linear interpolation with anti-alias filtering is used.
Theoretically a higher-order interpolation provide better result than 1st order
linear interpolation, but in audio application linear interpolation together
with anti-alias filtering performs subjectively about as well as higher-order
filtering would.</p>
<p><em>Time-stretching </em>means changing the audio stream duration without
affecting it's pitch. SoundTouch uses WSOLA-like time-stretching routines that
operate in the time domain. Compared to sample rate transposing,
time-stretching is a much heavier operation and also requires a longer
processing "window" of sound samples used by the processing algorithm, thus
increasing the algorithm input/output latency. Typical i/o latency for the
SoundTouch time-stretch algorithm is around 100 ms.</p>
<p>Sample rate transposing and time-stretching are then used together to produce
the tempo, pitch and rate controls:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>'Tempo'</strong>
control is implemented purely by time-stretching.
<li>
<strong>'Rate</strong>' control is implemented purely by sample rate
transposing.
<li>
<strong>'Pitch</strong>' control is implemented as a combination of
time-stretching and sample rate transposing. For example, to increase pitch the
audio stream is first time-stretched to longer duration (without affecting
pitch) and then transposed back to original duration by sample rate
transposing, which simultaneously reduces duration and increases pitch. The
result is original duration but increased pitch.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3.4 Tuning the algorithm parameters</h3>
<p>The time-stretch algorithm has few parameters that can be tuned to optimize
sound quality for certain application. The current default parameters have been
chosen by iterative if-then analysis (read: "trial and error") to obtain best
subjective sound quality in pop/rock music processing, but in applications
processing different kind of sound the default parameter set may result into a
sub-optimal result.</p>
<p>The time-stretch algorithm default parameter values are set by the following
#defines in file "TDStretch.h":</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>#define DEFAULT_SEQUENCE_MS AUTOMATIC
Updated for 1.4.0
2009-01-25 15:12:12 +01:00
#define DEFAULT_SEEKWINDOW_MS AUTOMATIC
Restructured gcc instructions in README.html
2009-12-28 21:51:18 +01:00
#define DEFAULT_OVERLAP_MS 8</pre>
Retired 3DNow! optimizations as obsolete
2010-01-24 13:40:30 +01:00
</blockquote>
<p>These parameters affect to the time-stretch algorithm as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>DEFAULT_SEQUENCE_MS</strong>: This is the default length of a single
processing sequence in milliseconds which determines the how the original sound
is chopped in the time-stretch algorithm. Larger values mean fewer sequences
are used in processing. In principle a larger value sounds better when slowing
down the tempo, but worse when increasing the tempo and vice versa.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
By default, this setting value is calculated automatically according to tempo
value.<br>
<li>
<strong>DEFAULT_SEEKWINDOW_MS</strong>: The seeking window default length in
milliseconds is for the algorithm that seeks the best possible overlapping
location. This determines from how wide a sample "window" the algorithm can use
to find an optimal mixing location when the sound sequences are to be linked
back together.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
The bigger this window setting is, the higher the possibility to find a better
mixing position becomes, but at the same time large values may cause a
"drifting" sound artifact because neighboring sequences can be chosen at more
uneven intervals. If there's a disturbing artifact that sounds as if a constant
frequency was drifting around, try reducing this setting.<br>
<br>
By default, this setting value is calculated automatically according to tempo
value.<br>
<li>
<strong>DEFAULT_OVERLAP_MS</strong>: Overlap length in milliseconds. When the
sound sequences are mixed back together to form again a continuous sound
stream, this parameter defines how much the ends of the consecutive sequences
will overlap with each other.<br>
<br>
This shouldn't be that critical parameter. If you reduce the
DEFAULT_SEQUENCE_MS setting by a large amount, you might wish to try a smaller
value on this.</li>
</ul>
<p>Notice that these parameters can also be set during execution time with
functions "<strong>TDStretch::setParameters()</strong>" and "<strong>SoundTouch::setSetting()</strong>".</p>
<p>The table below summaries how the parameters can be adjusted for different
applications:</p>

<h3>3.5 Performance Optimizations
</h3>
<p><strong>General optimizations:</strong></p>
<p>The time-stretch routine has a 'quick' mode that substantially speeds up the
algorithm but may degrade the sound quality by a small amount. This mode is
activated by calling SoundTouch::setSetting() function with parameter&nbsp; id
of SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK and value "1", i.e.
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>setSetting(SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK, 1);</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>CPU-specific optimizations:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
Intel MMX optimized routines are used with compatible CPUs when 16bit integer
sample type is used. MMX optimizations are available both in Win32 and Gnu/x86
platforms. Compatible processors are Intel PentiumMMX and later; AMD K6-2,
Athlon and later.
<li>
Intel SSE optimized routines are used with compatible CPUs when floating point
sample type is used. SSE optimizations are currently implemented for Win32
platform only. Processors compatible with SSE extension are Intel processors
starting from Pentium-III, and AMD processors starting from Athlon XP.
<li>
AMD 3DNow! optimized routines are used with compatible CPUs when floating point
sample type is used, but SSE extension isn't supported . 3DNow! optimizations
are currently implemented for Win32 platform only. These optimizations are used
in AMD K6-2 and Athlon (classic) CPU's; better performing SSE routines are used
with AMD processor starting from Athlon XP.

<p>SoundStretch is a simple command-line application that can change tempo, pitch
and playback rates of WAV sound files. This program is intended primarily to
demonstrate how the "SoundTouch" library can be used to process sound in your
own program, but it can as well be used for processing sound files.</p>

<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
To use standard input/output pipes for processing, give "stdin" and "stdout" as
input/output filenames correspondingly. The standard input/output pipes will
still carry the audio data in .wav audio file format.
<li>
The numerical switches allow both integer (e.g. "-tempo=123") and decimal (e.g.
"-tempo=123.45") numbers.
<li>
The "-naa" and/or "-quick" switches can be used to reduce CPU usage while
compromising some sound quality
<li>
The BPM detection algorithm works by detecting repeating bass or drum patterns
at low frequencies of &lt;250Hz. A lower-than-expected BPM figure may be
reported for music with uneven or complex bass patterns.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>4.2. SoundStretch usage examples
</h3>
<p><strong>Example 1</strong></p>
<p>The following command increases tempo of the sound file "originalfile.wav" by
12.5% and stores result to file "destinationfile.wav":</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>soundstretch originalfile.wav destinationfile.wav -tempo=12.5</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Example 2</strong></p>
<p>The following command decreases the sound pitch (key) of the sound file
"orig.wav" by two semitones and stores the result to file "dest.wav":</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -pitch=-2</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Example 3</strong></p>
<p>The following command processes the file "orig.wav" by decreasing the sound
tempo by 25.3% and increasing the sound pitch (key) by 1.5 semitones. Resulting
.wav audio data is directed to standard output pipe:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>soundstretch orig.wav stdout -tempo=-25.3 -pitch=1.5</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Example 4</strong></p>
<p>The following command detects the BPM rate of the file "orig.wav" and adjusts
the tempo to match 100 beats per minute. Result is stored to file "dest.wav":</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -bpm=100</pre>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Example 5</strong></p>
<p>The following command reads .wav sound data from standard input pipe and
estimates the BPM rate:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>soundstretch stdin -bpm</pre>
