Emphasize Audio

[Voight-Kampff]

I've spent my entire life looking for the Emphasize Audio option. Well, okay, perhaps that's a bit hyperbolic. But it's definitely a feature I've wanted for a long time.

And, while I can see that we can specify the volume to use, and how long the effect lasts, is there any option to specify how the transition from one volume to the other occurs?

Is this an abrupt, discrete transition from one volume to another? Is there a short, hard coded linear transition? Can we specify the transition? For example, could we specify a logarithmic curve that takes, for example, 10 seconds to complete?

It's a linear curve, and since it takes place deep in C code, you can't change the function that's used. (Since it has to be applied to every sample of audio, changing it would be too slow to do in python.) You can change the duration that's used, using config.emphasize_audio_time.

It defaults to .5 seconds by default.

IIRC, it's linear in terms of PCM samples, so sort of perceptually logarithmic - if my memory serves, and I'm tired enough it might not, each doubling of air pressure is perceived as the same increase in volume.

Thank you. Again. As usual.
