Overview of this book

Multimedia applications are used by a range of industries to enhance the visual appeal of a product. This book will teach the reader how to perform multimedia processing using Python. This step-by-step guide gives you hands-on experience for developing exciting multimedia applications using Python. This book will help you to build applications for processing images, creating 2D animations and processing audio and video. Writing applications that work with images, videos, and other sensory effects is great. Not every application gets to make full use of audio/visual effects, but a certain amount of multimedia makes any application a lot more appealing. There are numerous multimedia libraries for which Python bindings are available. These libraries enable working with different kinds of media, such as images, audio, video, games, and so on. This book introduces the reader to the most widely used open source libraries through several exciting, real world projects. Popular multimedia frameworks and libraries such as GStreamer,Pyglet, QT Phonon, and Python Imaging library are used to develop various multimedia applications.

Preface

Chapter 6. Audio Controls and Effects

In the previous chapter, the focus was on learning fundamentals of audio processing. It introduced us to the GStreamer multimedia framework. We applied this knowledge to develop some frequently needed audio processing tools. In this chapter, we will go one step further by developing tools for adding audio effects, mixing audio tracks, creating custom music tracks, and so on.

In this chapter, we shall:

  • Learn how to control a streaming audio.

  • Spice up the audio by adding effects such as fading, echo, and panorama.

  • Work on a project where a custom music track will be created by combining different audio clips.

  • Add visualization effect to a streaming audio.

  • Mix two audio streams into a single track. For example, mix an audio containing only a vocal track with an audio containing only background music track.

So let's get on with it.
