Computer upgrading of audio material using Audacity® software api (software-oriented approach)

Taran Vasiliy V.

The article deals with basic problems associated with applying of computer technologies when upgrading audio material. Audacity® software environment has been selected as a program framework. Major problem areas of audio material upgrading by program means were designated. Regular modules of Audacity® software applied in case of problems associated with audio material recovery are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the selected problems and taking into account the prediction of situations arising in the process of software sound processing feasible arrangements of regular modules usage for particular calculation of the processed information were suggested. The arrangement of these modules improves the quality of the processed audio material under given situations. Taking into account the software support of the built-in programming language Nyquist, some recommendations for the use of micro-scripts and scenario programs in order to comply with the software-oriented approach are suggested.
