How to get wav samples from a wav file?

Question

I want to know how to get samples from a .wav file in order to perform window merging of two .wav files.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Answer 1

The wave module of the standard library is the key: after the course import waveat the top of your code, it wave.open('the.wav', 'r')returns a “wave reading” object from which you can read frames using a method .readframesthat returns a string of bytes that are samples ... in any format that the wave file has ( you can define two corresponding parameters for decomposing frames into samples using the method .getnchannelsfor the number of channels and .getsampwidthfor the number of bytes per sample).

- array () 'B', 'H', 'L' 1, 2, 4 ( 32- Python, itemsize , ). , array , ( 0) struct ( , array, ).

(, , ), , -1 1 ( ).

In this case, you can add:

# scale to -1.0 -- 1.0
max_nb_bit = float(2**(nb_bits-1))  
samples = signal_int / (max_nb_bit + 1.0) 

with nb_bitsbit depth and signal_intinteger values.
