Systems and methods for generating a graphical representation of audio-file playback during playback manipulation
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for generating a graphical representation of audio-file playback during playback manipulation are provided. The system may include a processor that performs a method including displaying a waveform during audio-file playback by scrolling the waveform from a right to a left portion of a display. The method includes receiving a command to manipulate the audio-file playback and displaying a first half of the waveform corresponding to the manipulated audio-file playback until a command is received to resume the audio-file playback. The first half of the waveform is a portion of the waveform adjacent to a horizontal or vertical axis. The method includes simultaneously displaying a second half of the waveform and displaying the first half of the waveform corresponding to the manipulated audio-file playback. The second half of the waveform is on an opposite side of the axis from the first half of the waveform.
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one processor to facilitate displaying an audio-file playback-resume waveform and an audio-file playback manipulation waveform according to a method, the method comprising:
displaying a first waveform of an audio-file during playback in a first playback mode by scrolling the first waveform along a reference axis on the display;
receiving a command to playback the audio-file in a second playback mode different than the first playback mode;
simultaneously displaying, with the first waveform, a second waveform corresponding to playback of the audio-file in the second playback mode by scrolling the second waveform along the same reference axis on the display, until a command is received to resume playback of the audio-file in the first playback mode,
wherein the first waveform is displayed on an opposite side of the reference axis from the second waveform.
2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the command to playback the audio-file in a second playback mode different than the first playback mode comprises a command to move an audio-file playback position to a new point temporarily.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises receiving a command to resume playback of the audio-file in the first playback mode and wherein resuming the audio-file playback comprises displaying a full view of the first waveform.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the first waveform is visually discernable from and the second waveform.
5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein less than all of the first waveform is displayed during the second playback mode.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein only the second waveform is audible during the second playback mode.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the second playback mode comprises playback of the audio-file in any of reverse, pause, repeat loop, or scratching effect mode.
8. A system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instruction that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
displaying a first waveform of an audio-file during playback in a first playback mode by scrolling the first waveform along a reference axis on the display;
receiving a command to playback the audio-file in a second playback mode different than the first playback mode;
simultaneously displaying, with the first waveform, a second waveform corresponding to playback of the audio-file in the second playback mode by scrolling the second waveform along the same reference axis on the display, until a command is received to resume playback of the audio-file in the first playback mode,
wherein the first waveform is displayed on an opposite side of the reference axis from the second waveform.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the command to playback the audio-file in a second playback mode different than the first playback mode comprises a command to move an audio-file playback position to a new point temporarily.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises receiving a command to resume playback of the audio-file in the first playback mode and wherein resuming the audio-file playback comprises displaying a full view of the first waveform.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first waveform is visually discernable from and the second waveform.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein less than all of the first waveform is displayed during the second playback mode.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein only the second waveform is audible during the second playback mode.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second playback mode comprises playback of the audio-file in any of reverse, pause, repeat loop, or scratching effect mode.
15. A DJ media player comprising:
a display to show audio playback information;
a processor for displaying an audio-file waveform on a DJ media player, wherein displaying an audio-file waveform comprises:
displaying a first waveform of an audio-file during playback in a first playback mode by scrolling the first waveform along a reference axis on the display;
receiving a command to playback the audio-file in a second playback mode different than the first playback mode;
simultaneously displaying, with the first waveform, a second waveform corresponding to playback of the audio-file in the second playback mode by scrolling the second waveform along the same reference axis on the display, until a command is received to resume playback of the audio-file in the first playback mode,
wherein the first waveform is displayed on an opposite side of the reference axis from the second waveform.
16. The DJ media player of claim 15 , wherein the command to playback the audio-file in a second playback mode different than the first playback mode comprises a command to move an audio-file playback position to a new point temporarily.
17. The DJ media player of claim 15 , further comprising receiving a command to resume playback of the audio-file in the first playback mode and wherein resuming the audio-file playback comprises displaying a full view of the first waveform.
18. The DJ media player of claim 15 , wherein the first waveform is visually discernable from and the second waveform.
19. The DJ media player of claim 15 , wherein less than all of the first waveform is displayed during the second playback mode.
20. The DJ media player of claim 15 , wherein only the second waveform is audible during the second playback mode.
21. The DJ media player of claim 15 , wherein the second playback mode comprises playback of the audio-file in any of reverse, pause, repeat loop, or scratching effect mode.
