Abstract

The primary goal of the thesis is to enhance musical signals with signs of human speech. This involves the creation of an audio effect inspired by the talk-box, by analyzing the vocal tract with a suitable algorithm like linear prediction and applying the calculated filter to the musical audio signal. An emphasis is given to excellent output audio quality, low latency and small processing overhead for real-time use. The outcome is a usable software plug-in targeted to professional audio editing applications and for live performance as well using a suitable hardware platform. It will emulate the real talk-box equipment or provides similar audio quality with a unique sound.
