hey guys,
Can any body tell me how shall i start with the project.
I will be using Java and C together(JNI) in netbeans for coding. I will be
embedding the C code in Java(Interface).
First i want to read the wav file in C and sample it and apply FFT algorithm.. And output should be an spectrogram.
can any body tell me how to start.
Jump to PostThere must be a load of open source WAV readers around. In case you don't want to dig into other people's code, here is a brief description of a WAV format.
I …
I am doing the same thing right now. your project will consists of three things
1) reading the PCM data:
u can find libraries or implement it urself.
heres what u will need to implement it urself:
best wav file documentation - http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/wavefiles.html
u can really ignore everything except the fmt and data chunks, the fact chunk appears a lot in wav files and i haven't stumbled upon other types yet. BUT good coding habits mean u should still have your program account for them (or at least throw an exception like mine does now)
one of my biggest problems was the whole endian issue because most of the data is encoded in little endian write here if u need help with it.
k so once u can read the pure sample data store it in an array in your WavReader class (or whatever u want to call it, by the way dynamically allocating 2d arrays is tricky to) and have it return a pointer. ( u can implement this in other ways i did it this way)
This is as far as i got as of now just finished my WavReader class today
2) now u can apply the FFT on your raw data. and u will get a three dimensional array of data [channel][frequency][time] something like that.
3) now u will have to display this data. this is gui programming, also u might want to program your program to actually play the sound and display the FFT diagram at that moment.
things to be aware of is FFT takes a lot of processing power so start with an FFT on about 3-5 millisecond of your sound data. thats every 132.3-220.5 samples at 44100 sample rate.
write here if you have more questions
thank u for the expalanation.......i got the technique....was explained in a good manner.....
Can you please pass on the code to me....so that i can refer it a properly.....

hey guys...
could you please pass on the code to me tooo.....i am really struggling with reading the data chunk part
thanks in advance

write here if you have more questions
I have started the coding part.....
Firstly I wanted to know how and where shall I read and store the data from the wave file.......
Secondly I can perform FFT on numerical values. These numerical Values will be present in the file which we created to store the data. Will that be stored in the form of an array..........
If possible can you paste some part of your code.....if not this then can you email it to me....

Here is some code for u guys. its not coded with the best coding techniques... so if u have any question post here (i started c++ a month ago hehe)
*THIS CODE MIGHT HAVE MISTAKES... but it works on my computer*
it will also tell you what is wrong with your file if its not working.
i commented the code but not very well so again ask me if you have questions.

}
}
}And here's how to use it in main:
( i know that trial1.wav has 2 channels when i output the data.)
#include <iostream>
#include "WavReader.h"
int main ()
{
int *** cleandata;
WavReader wavfile("trial1.wav");
cleandata = wavfile.GetDataPointer();
// outputs the first 100 samples
for( int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
cout << i << " sample: " << (*cleandata)[0][i] << " " << (*cleandata)[1][i] << "\n";
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}THINGS TO BE AWARE OF
unless the file you are trying to read is in the same folder as your .exe specify the full name.
GetNumberOfSamples() returns the number of samples PER channel.
You can not use the pointer after u call the ClearData() because it erases the data and the pointer points to nothing.
CleanData() should only be used if u have RAM memory space concerns.
Also if you load a new file using LoadNew() the pointer will now point to the new data.
(this can actually be useful sometimes, like if u are cycling through many files)
for example the following code WILL NOT WORK:
#include <iostream>
#include "WavReader.h"
int main ()
{
int *** cleandata;
WavReader wavfile("trial1.wav");
cleandata = wavfile.GetDataPointer();
wavfile.ClearData();
// outputs the first 100 samples
for( int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
cout << i << " sample: " << (*cleandata)[0][i] << " " << (*cleandata)[1][i] << "\n";
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}oh yeah many things in this code can be done differently like the endian convert can be done using bit shifters... but i think the way i coded it it is very simple to understand even to a begging programmer... and it makes u understand some basic ideas about how data is stored in a computer and in files.
I went through the code.......but i think that you haven't pasted some of the header files............can you please paste the code with the file name and header file name..........
you can even zip and mail me the code on my email id....
Thank you, SwiftSilver, your info is a huge help. I just face one problem while running your program code. When I try to sample my wav files, I get message :"more then 2 fmt chunks.... wtf? where did u get this file?". I'm trying to process a wav file received from the NOAA satellite.
Maybe you could add here your trial1.wav file, so I could see what results should I get by processing it.
Thank's again
I think the output of this program should be an image containing the spectrogram. But it just prints pairs of numbers as output. How can the spectrogram be derived?
