A data processing apparatus acquires a waveform data set from a waveform DB where waveform data sets are stored in association with tag data for classifying the waveform data sets, analyzes a sound waveform signal indicated by the acquired waveform data set to thereby identify a period of the sound waveform signal, having a predetermined feature, as a waveform signal of a sound material, and calculates a feature amount by analyzing the sound waveform signal of a sound material. Then, the data processing apparatus registers, into a sound material DB, identification data indicative of the sound waveform signal of the sound material, feature amount data indicative of the calculated feature amount and the tag data corresponding to the acquired waveform data set in association with one another. In this way, a user can select, from the sound material database, a desired sound material by use of information related to the sound waveform signal from which the sound material was extracted. |
