Auto Create Markers Based on Tone Frequency -Sound Forge - Scripting

Subject:Auto Create Markers Based on Tone Frequency Posted by: cargoplex Date:1/20/2006 4:23:48 PM I have an interesting situation, where I have a bunch of files of audiobooks that have a certain tone at the beginning of each chapter. I was wondering if there is a way to build upon the concept put forth in the MakeMarkers.cs script and have a marker created automatically at each incident of a tone in the audio file. It is the same frequency tone for each chapter (about 60Hz I think), so it seems like it could be done, but I am afraid I know nothing about scripting. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You will need to use ISfFileHost.ReadAudio(...) to examine the file data and scan for the signature of your tone. If the tone is pure and clean, you may be able to get the job done with a simple bit of coding. (just counting the frequency of zero crossings, for instance). so, how good is your DSP coding? tj

I understand the process you're describing that would accomplish what I want, but wouldn't know the first thing about scripting that process. I could really use someone to possible create this script for me actually, so I guess my next move is to make friends with a scriptor ;-)

I am willing to pay for this script, as it will make life sooo much easier for the project it involves. Anyways, if you are interested in helping me out, please email me at: aaron@cuttingarchives.com Thanks!
