How to use ZEGOCLOUD SDK to implement Voice change/Reverb/Virtual stereo in Android

cover

Introduction

In the live broadcast, chat room, and karaoke room scenes, in order to increase the fun and interactivity, players can change the voice to make things funny, reverberate the atmosphere, and use stereo to make the sound more three-dimensional. ZegoExpress SDK provides a variety of preset voice change, reverberation, reverberation echo, and stereo effects. Developers can flexibly set the sound they want. If you need to listen to it, you can enable ear return for testing.

  • Voice change: By changing the user's pitch, the output sound is sensory different from the original sound, and various effects such as changing male voice to female voice are realized.
  • Reverberation: Through special processing of the sound, the reverberation effect of different environments is created, making the sound appear as if it is in a concert hall, a cathedral, etc.
  • Reverberation echo: Through special processing of the sound, it can be matched with voice change and reverberation to achieve a variety of custom sound effects, such as ethereal and robot sounds.
  • Virtual stereo: Through the deep use of dual-channel technology, each position and angle of the sound source is virtualized to achieve stereo sound, 3D surround sound, and sound discrimination.

The function is only effective for the sound collected by the SDK. Developers can dynamically adjust the voice change, reverberation, reverberation echo, and virtual stereo during a call or live broadcast.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with voice change/reverb/stereo, please make sure:

Voice Change

Set Preset Voice Changer

Call the setVoiceChangerPreset method to use SDK preset voice changer effect.

ZegoVoiceChangerPreset preset voice changing effects are as follows, developers can choose according to their needs:

ZegoVoiceChangerPreset

The following sample code takes a male voice to a child voice as an example:

ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().setVoiceChangerPreset(ZegoVoiceChangerPreset.MEN_TO_CHILD);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set Custom Voice Changer

If the sound changing effect preset by the SDK cannot meet the needs, the developer can call ZegoVoiceChangerParam Method, through the pitch parameter pitch to set a custom voice changer, the value range of this parameter is [-8.0, 8.0], the larger the value, the sharper the sound, the default value is 0.0 (ie no voice change).

ZegoVoiceChangerParam voiceChangerParam = new ZegoVoiceChangerParam();
param.pitch = 2.0f;
ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().setVoiceChangerParam(param);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Reverberation

Set Preset Reverb

Call setReverbPreset to set reverberation through preset enumeration.

ZegoReverbPreset preset reverb effects are as follows, developers can choose according to their needs:

ZegoReverbPreset

The following sample code takes the large room mode as an example:

ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().setReverbPreset(ZegoReverbPreset.LARGE_ROOM);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set Custom Reverb

If the SDK preset reverb type cannot meet the needs, developers can call ZegoReverbAdvancedParam method, to achieve the reverberation effect required by the developer through the configuration of related parameters (for detailed parameter description, please refer to the API documentation).

ZegoReverbAdvancedParam reverbParam = new ZegoReverbAdvancedParam();
reverbParam.damping = 50.0; // Reverberation damping
reverbParam.reverberance = 50.0; // Reverberation
reverbParam.roomSize = 50.0; // room size
reverbParam.wetOnly = false;
reverbParam.wetGain = 5.0;
reverbParam.dryGain = 5.0;
reverbParam.toneLow = 80.0;
reverbParam.toneHigh = 80.0;
reverbParam.preDelay = 20.0;
reverbParam.stereoWidth = 0.0;
ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().setReverbAdvancedParam(reverbParam);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After setting the custom reverb parameters, the preset reverb effect set when reverb is enabled will be invalid. If you want to use the SDK preset parameters again, you can use setReverbPreset. Set enumeration method to set.

Reverberation Echo

Call the setReverbEchoParam method and set the relevant parameters to realize the developer The required reverberation echo effect (for detailed parameter description, please refer to the API document).

The following sample code takes the ethereal effect as an example:

ZegoReverbEchoParam echoParam = new ZegoReverbEchoParam();
echoParam.inGain = 0.8f;
echoParam.outGain =1.0f;
echoParam.numDelays = 7;
int[] delay ={230,460,690,920,1150,1380,1610};
echoParam.delay=delay;

float[] decay={0.41f,0.18f,0.08f,0.03f,0.009f,0.003f,0.001f};
echoParam.decay=decay;
zegoReverbEchoParamDatas.add(echoParam);
ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().setReverbEchoParam(echoParam);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Virtual Stereo

Set the Number of Streaming Audio Channels

If you need to turn on the virtual stereo function, you must first call the setAudioConfig method to set before pushing the stream The audio encoding channel is Stereo dual channel (default is Mono).

The example here uses the preset enumeration structure ZegoAudioConfig to be set to dual-channel.

ZegoAudioConfig audioConfig = new ZegoAudioConfig(STANDARD_QUALITY_STEREO);
ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().setAudioConfig(audioConfig);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Set Virtual Stereo Parameters

After setting the audio encoding channel to dual channel, call the enableVirtualStereo method, Turn on the virtual stereo through the enable parameter, and set the sound source angle of the virtual stereo through the angle parameter to have the stereo effect. The angle range is 0 to 360, and generally can be set to 90 degrees (that is, straight ahead).

Starting from the 2.15.0 version, the SDK supports the all-around virtual stereo. To enable it, set the angle parameter to -1.

The following shows how to turn on the virtual stereo and set the angle to 90 degrees:

ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().enableVirtualStereo(true, 90);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The following shows how to enable the all-around virtual stereo:

ZegoExpressEngine.getEngine().enableVirtualStereo(true, -1);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
