To: Daryl van den Brink Do you know a good algorithm to combine two or more WAV files? I've written an amusement for myself. Its a little application that I can use to write music with. It works on the principle of creating 'voice' tracks and then combining them into the final WAV file. The current algorithm I use sort of works, but it has the side-effect of diminishing the volume of the sound. Also, when working with lots of tracks, some distortions are introduced. In fact I've tried a few algorithms but none have really worked well. The ones that have given me the most promising results have been ... a) Find the geometric mean of the corresponding sample values. b) Find the arthimetric mean of the corresponding sample values. c) Find the geometric mean of the absolute value of the corresponding sample values. But I'm thinking that I really need to use the delta between adjacent samples instead. I haven't tried this yet because I really don't know enough about the subject. I'd post the code but its not ready for serious reviewing yet - most is very experimental. -- cheers, Derek Parnell
