Chris@0 66 "Choosing a sample rate coverter wasn't easy. We ran numerous tests with
Chris@0 67 Secret Rabbit Code and other sample rate converters, then compared them all.
Chris@0 68 In the end, SRC outperformed the others, including some extremely well known
Chris@0 69 and popular software. We had one issue with SRC, but after emailing Erik, he
Chris@0 70 got back to us immediately with an answer. Choosing SRC was a no brainer."

Chris@0 80 <B>S</B>ecret <B>R</B>abbit <B>C</B>ode (aka libsamplerate) is a
Chris@0 81 <B>S</B>ample <B>R</B>ate <B>C</B>onverter for audio.
Chris@0 82 One example of where such a thing would be useful is converting audio
Chris@0 83 from the CD sample rate of 44.1kHz to the 48kHz sample rate used by
Chris@0 84 DAT players.

Chris@0 88 <B>SRC</B> is capable of arbitrary and time varying conversions ; from
Chris@0 89 downsampling by a factor of 256 to upsampling by the same factor.
Chris@0 90 Arbitrary in this case means that the ratio of input and output
Chris@0 91 sample rates can be an irrational number.
Chris@0 92 The conversion ratio can also vary with time for speeding up and slowing
Chris@0 93 down effects.

Chris@0 96 <P>
Chris@0 97 <B>SRC</B> provides a small set of converters to allow quality to
Chris@0 98 be traded off against computation cost.
Chris@0 99 The current best converter provides a signal-to-noise ratio of 145dB
Chris@0 100 with -3dB passband extending from DC to 96&#37; of the theoretical
Chris@0 101 best bandwidth for a given pair of input and output sample rates.

Chris@0 105 Since the library has few dependencies beyond that provided by the
Chris@0 106 standard C library, it should compile and work on just about any
Chris@0 107 operating system.
Chris@0 108 It is known to work on Linux, MacOSX,
Chris@0 109 <A HREF="win32.html">Win32</A>
Chris@0 110 and Solaris.
Chris@0 111 With some relatively minor hacking it should also be relatively easy
Chris@0 112 to port it to embedded systems and digital signal processors.

Chris@0 116 In addition, the library comes with a comprehensive test suite which
Chris@0 117 can validate the performance of the library on new platforms.
