This report consists of an update over the last two weeks — the latter week was Spring Break.
In the week before Spring Break, I got badly sick with the flu. As a result, I spent the first half of the week resting and allocating all my ‘work time’/energy working on the design report. This included completing my parts which included the architecture, conclusion, future work, and all the audio modification sections. It also included formatting, and cohesive revisions since the design proposal presentation. Through this work, I realized that we were missing a key design requirement: the audio files that our product would support. After starting and completing research on what file types are best for signal processing, music, and popular audio uses, I completed this section in the design report as well. Considering my illness, and that I spent half of the week on this document.
The following week was Spring Break. Our group did not have plans to work this week. I was supposed to be traveling on a CMU sponsored brigade. Since this was cancelled, I decided to be slightly productive. I scheduled meetings with 2 professors, as previously identified, who would be able to advise on the phase vocoder I plan to implement. Once classes were officially moved online, our project was paused as we were waiting on how to proceed in working on this project remotely. Once our expectations are solidified, our team members will plan how to complete what is needed. For now, we have already identified three individual parts of the project that can be worked on independently. How these components will be integrated and tested is TBD based on forthcoming expectations and group conversations as classes resume this week.
