This chapter looks at a range of auditory display and sonification applications that have
tackled the problem of monitoring real-time data streams and concludes with some …

While programming an audio synthesizer can be difficult, if a user has a general idea of the
sound they are trying to program, they may be able to imitate it with their voice. In this …

Because the spectral envelope of a sound is a crucial aspect of timbre perception, the
authors propose a quantitative model of spectral envelope perception using a set of …

We propose to apply the principle of interactive real-time corpus-based concatenative
synthesis to search in effects or instrument sound databases, which becomes content-based …

For decades, digital audio workstation software has displayed the content of audio tracks
through bare waveforms. We argue that the same real estate on the computer screen can be …

Sound designers source sounds in massive collections, heavily tagged by themselves and
sound librarians. For each query, once successive keywords attained a limit to filter down …

Situated in the context of multimedia browsing, this study concerns perceptual processes
involved in searching for an audiovisual object displayed among several distractors. The …

In audio based music similarity, a well known effect is the existence of hubs, ie songs which
appear similar to many other songs without showing any meaningful perceptual similarity …

Our study focuses on multimodal information access to audiovisual databases, and
evaluates the effect of combining the visual modality with audio information. To do so, we …

Searching through vast libraries of sound samples can be a daunting and time-consuming
task. Modern audio sample browsers use mappings between acoustic properties and visual …
