Visual representations of audio data

摘要

This specification describes technologies relating to displaying visual representations of audio data for editing. In some implementations a method is provided. The method includes receiving digital audio data, displaying a first visual representation of the audio data in an interface, the visual representation displaying audio data as a function of time on a time axis and a feature on a feature axis, receiving an input to display one or more enlarged views of the visual representation of the audio data, and displaying a visual representation of the one or more enlarged views along with the visual representation of the audio data in the interface.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving digital audio data; displaying a first visual representation of the audio data in an interface, the visual representation displaying audio data as a function of time on a time axis and a feature on a feature axis; receiving an input to display distinct enlarged views of the visual representation of the audio data; displaying a visual representation of the distinct enlarged views along with the visual representation of the audio data in the interface, wherein the enlarged views of the visual representation of the audio data include a a first enlarged view displaying audio data corresponding to a beginning of the audio data from time zero to a first specified point in time and a second enlarged view displaying audio data corresponding to a second specified point in time to the end point of the audio data, wherein the second specified point in time occurs after the first specified point in time; receiving an input to play the audio data; and skipping playback of audio data outside the enlarged views of the visual representation, wherein the skipping of the playback comprises playing the audio data associated with the first enlarged view and then continuously playing the audio data associated with the second enlarged view by smoothing the transition between the two enlarged views and omitting the audio data intervening between the first specified point in time and the second specified point in time.
