Abstract

A method and apparatus for transient detection and time-scaling an audio signal detects transients and scales only intervals located between transients to avoid artifacts. In one embodiment, the transient detection process compares frequency characteristic energy between succeeding windows of the audio signal and calculates values of an energy curve where the energy increases. Transients are detected at maxima of the energy curve.
