Sound Composer Overview

This section presents the Sound Composer Module.

The Sound Composer module is designed to ease the process of mixing several sound tracks including audio sources coming from measurements and simulations.

    • RPM profile for Harmonics source type only,
    • duration and synthesis method for Spectrum source type only,
  • a filter: the frequency response of a transfer function (optional).

A Sound composer source (3), saved as *.src file, includes:
  • the source name and type,
  • the source file, for more details on the supported file formats see Source Formats,
