AdaptiveVolumeControl

Automatically control volume of songs in playlist to make a better experience.

Introduction

Feedback AGC

Pros: Lower input dynamic range required by peak detector; Inherently higher linearity

Cons: Instabilities with high compression or expansion; Higher settling-time

• looper filter: generate VGA parameter
• peak detector: detect amplitude level of Vout
• log conv: make AGC a linear system in decibels

Feedforward AGC

Pros: No instability problems; Ideally zero settling-time

Cons: AGC input dynamic range required by peak detector; High linearity required in loop

Data Prep

for ((i=1;i<10;i++)); do
    ffmpeg -i raw/${i}.mp3 -acodec pcm_f32le -ac 1 -ar 44100 input/${i}.wav;
done

Run

python3 agc.py # -> output/*.wav
