Is there anyway of editing this code so that it sets the mean RMS level of a track to the specified value? For the "words" recording, it is a bit more complicated. Lets say that you have one track that is a recording of someone quietly saying: "mumble mumble mumble whisper whisper mumble mumble mum...

If you run the following code in the "Nyquist Prompt" (in the Effect menu), it will amplify the selection so that the first 1 second has a peak RMS level of -12 dBFS. (only works with mono tracks). (setq target-level -12) (mult s (/ (db-to-linear target-level)(peak (rms s) 100))) If you require a d...

Hi I tried the code, by splitting my audio tracks to mono. It seems to have worked for most of the word stimuli, apart from a couple which didn't seem to change at all and (subjectively) seem a bit quieter than the rest - however that is probably due to the pattern of lexical stress on those words s...

All the relevant literature is vague - most don't even specify the signal to noise ratio or even the software they used to create the stimuli!. Basically what I want is to try and ensure that all the stimuli that we subject the participant to are the same 'loudness'. As percieved loudness is subject...

The study I'm trying to replicate says this: In addition, all sound stimuli were normalized to the same decibel level, such that all ‘‘noise-word’’ and ‘‘noise-alone’’ stimuli were matched on sound level. I need an objective measure of loudness - I assume sound pressure measured in decibels would su...

Hi, hope this is the correct forum for this sort of question. I'm looking at producing some stimuli for an experiment on auditory processing. Each stimulus will be a spoken word which is masked by white noise. To this end I have recorded separate .wav files contain various spoken words, and I have a...
