Algorithm behind the sound manipulations

Post by Simply » Wed Dec 17, 2008 5:10 pm

I have been using Audacity for several years. Because I am going to report more precisely what have been done to the raw audio file, I would like to know more about the algorithm behind different sound manipulation functions. For instances, what has been done to a noise removal?

Thanks a lot! :D

A good place to start would be with the Nyquist plug-in effects. They are often quite well documented/commented and they can be opened in any text editor so you can see exactly what is in them. There is some information in the Audacity wiki (link at top of page) about the Nyquist programming language, and there is a link to the Nyquist manual.

LADSPA and VST plug-ins are a lot harder to understand.
