matthiasm@0: *** THE AUDIO DEGRADATION TOOLBOX ***
matthiasm@0: 
matthiasm@0: The Audio Degradation Toolbox (ADT) consists of Matlab code for the controlled degradation of audio signals, and for the adaptation of ground-truth to the degraded audio. Main purpose is to test the robustness of audio analysis methods against certain classes of degradations of the audio quality.

matthiasm@0: ** Getting Started **
matthiasm@0: 
matthiasm@0: Requirements: the toolbox requires Matlab and the Matlab Signal Processing Toolbox. We've tested the ADT with Matlab R2011b on Mac OSX, Matlab R2013a on Linux.
