Solution Overview

Problem

Existing audio data processing methods fail to meet user requirements for adding voice changing effects, lacking the ability to audition and selectively apply sound effects at desired positions, leading to unsatisfactory user experiences.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for processing audio data that allows users to acquire a playback position, audition a first sound effect, and add it to a segment of audio data, followed by receiving an instruction to add a second sound effect of specified length to another segment, enabling user selection and auditioning of satisfying sound effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If sound effects are added to audio data without auditioning, then the processing speed is improved, but the user satisfaction deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiduser satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary auditioning of sound effects before final application to audio data. The method plays back the audio data with the sound effect superimposed in advance, allowing users to evaluate the effect before it is permanently added, thus resolving the contradiction between processing speed and user satisfaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where users can listen to the sound effect preview and provide selection input based on their evaluation. This feedback loop allows users to choose whether to apply the sound effect, ensuring user satisfaction while maintaining efficient processing through automated playback and selection tracking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If users can audition sound effects at any position, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound effect application flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The audio data is divided into segments with specific playback positions, and sound effects can be applied to different segments independently. The system segments the audio processing into manageable units (audio data, sound effects, playback positions) that can be independently controlled and combined, enabling flexible application without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal audio processing framework that can handle multiple sound effects, multiple audio segments, and various playback positions through a unified method. This multi-functional approach allows the same core mechanism to serve diverse sound effect application scenarios, improving adaptability while controlling complexity through reuse.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an audio data processing method and apparatus, and a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring a first play position of first audio data, and an audition instruction of a user for a first sound effect; adding the first sound effect to a first audio clip in the first audio data, generating sound effect audition data and playing same; and if a first addition instruction of the user for a second sound effect is received, according to information of a first addition length carried in the first addition instruction, adding the second sound effect to a second audio clip, which takes the first play position as a start position, in the first audio data, so as to obtain second audio data. By means of the solution provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a sound effect addition operation can be simplified, sound effect addition results are enriched, and the user experience is also enhanced.
