Technical discussions related to Audio Signal Processing (digital effects, acoustics, noise reduction, musical signal processing, etc).
Hello everyone, I am new to DSP and have been going through Perry Cook's "Real Sound Synthesis" book. I have been trying to extend the vocoder example in the book. Basically, it is an FFT based channel vocoder. I take the FFT of the two signals, calculate the powers and then do cross-synthesis. It is all in the source code included in the book. However, I want to add some features to it. One thing that came to mind is to control how much of the two signals to be included or basically to be able to specify the ratio between the presence of two signals in the final output. How should I go about trying to control this? Can I do something in the frequency domain? Changing the frequency data seems to just affect the amplitude once I take the inverse. Thanks for any help you might give me. This DSP stuff is hard! :) Pankaj
