Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for adjusting timing of a selected portion of an audio recording, the method comprising in a processor: analyzing an audio recording for transients; causing the display of a waveform corresponding to the audio recording and an associated time line; receiving a selection command selecting a position in the displayed audio recording waveform; causing the display of, in response to the selection command, an indication of the selected position and a first transient boundary and a second transient boundary surrounding the selected position; receiving an indication of the direction and magnitude of movement of the displayed selected position by a user to an adjusted position, corresponding to a desired amount of time adjustment of a selected sound segment in said audio recording; and causing the display of, in response to the received movement indication, an adjusted audio recording waveform, with a first section between the first boundary and the adjusted position of the selected position indicating one of a compression of the audio content therein and an expansion of the audio content therein, and a second section between the adjusted position of the selected position and the second boundary indicating one of compression of the audio content therein and expansion of the audio content therein.
