Upsample Audio

This article explains how to upsample an audio clip from 44.1 Khz to 48 KHz.

Source Audio

For an audio source we use the kahvi011_kennybeltrey-hydrate.mp3 file from the Internet Archive. The original audio format is MPEG Audio Layer 3, 44.1 KHz, Joint Stereo, 136 Kbps, Variable Bit Rate

Code

This code takes an MP3 file with 44.1 KHz audio, and converts it to an MP3 file with 48 KHz audio using polyphase resampling method.

Windows

// UpsampleAudio.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace primo;
using namespace primo::codecs;
using namespace primo::avblocks;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    Library::initialize();

    // start with two identical input and output configurations
    ref<MediaInfo> inputInfo (Library::createMediaInfo());
    inputInfo->inputs()->at(0)->setFile(L"kahvi011_kennybeltrey-hydrate.mp3");

    ref<MediaInfo> outputInfo (Library::createMediaInfo());
    outputInfo->inputs()->at(0)->setFile(L"kahvi011_kennybeltrey-hydrate.mp3");

    if (inputInfo->open() && outputInfo->open()) {

        // create input socket
        ref<MediaSocket> inputSocket (Library::createMediaSocket(inputInfo.get()));

        // create output socket
        ref<MediaSocket> outputSocket (Library::createMediaSocket(outputInfo.get()));
        outputSocket->setFile(L"kahvi011_kennybeltrey-hydrate_48Khz.mp3");

        // get output audio pin
        auto outAudioPin = outputSocket->pins()->at(0);

        // set output sampling rate to 48 KHz
        auto outAudioStream = static_cast<AudioStreamInfo*>(outAudioPin->streamInfo());
        outAudioStream->setSampleRate(48000);

        // create a Transcoder object
        ref<Transcoder> transcoder (Library::createTranscoder());

        // add input and output sockets
        transcoder->inputs()->add(inputSocket.get());
        transcoder->outputs()->add(outputSocket.get());

        // process
        if (transcoder->open()) {
            transcoder->run();
            transcoder->close();
        }
    }

    Library::shutdown();

    return 0;
}

How to run

Follow the steps to create a C++ console application in Visual Studio, but use the code from this article.

Download the kahvi011_kennybeltrey-hydrate.mp3 song from the Internet Archive and save it in the project directory.

Run the application in Visual Studio. Wait a few seconds for the Transcoder to finish. The converted file kahvi011_kennybeltrey-hydrate_48Khz.mp3 will be in the project directory.
