Embedding audio device settings within audio files

摘要

Methods of representing, recreating, and editing an audio composition involving: receiving at a digital audio workstation audio data that has been processed by an audio processing device; receiving at the digital audio workstation a set of metadata specifying a value for each of a plurality of settings of the audio processing device that define the state of the corresponding setting of the audio processing device when raw audio data received by the audio processing device was processed to generate the processed audio data; and storing the received processed audio data and the received set of metadata in an audio file, wherein the processed audio data is designated as audio information and the metadata is designated as settings data. The settings may be stored in a WAV or AIFF audio file, and may be retrieved, parsed, and applied to restore the audio processing device to the state corresponding to the retrieved audio.

1. A method of processing audio data, the method comprising:
inputting an audio file comprising settings information for a first audio processing device and processed audio data, wherein the settings information includes a captured value for each setting of a plurality of settings of the first audio processing device when the first audio processing device generated the processed audio data from first audio input that was received by the first audio processing device; extracting the settings information from the audio file; sending the settings information to a second audio processing device; and wherein, after receiving the settings information, the second audio processing device:
for each setting of the plurality of settings of the first audio device, adjusts a value of a corresponding setting of a plurality of settings of the second audio device to the captured value of the corresponding setting of the first audio device, thereby placing the second audio processing device in a copied state;receives second audio input; andwhile in the copied state, processes the second audio input to generate processed audio.
