3 Interesting Sound Processing Techniques Using JES

JES is a program that lets you modify images, sounds, and videos programmatically. JES has many built-in functions and debugging tools to help you learn the Jython language.

When importing a file using JES, it’s possible to examine its sound waves visually, using a separate window. You can also manipulate the amplitude values of these sound waves at specific points. This can help you edit the sound file to achieve different effects.
