Audio Toolbox

R2026b
Design, analyze, and simulate acoustic, speech, and audio processing systems

Audio Toolbox™ provides signal processing, analysis, and simulation tools for audio, speech, and acoustics. It includes audio processing algorithms, psychoacoustic metric estimation, acoustic propagation modeling, data labeling and augmentation, and feature extraction. The toolbox also includes pretrained machine learning and deep learning models for transfer learning and tasks such as classification, transcription, synthesis, and source separation.

You can stream low-latency audio to prototype algorithms and measure signals in real time. The toolbox enables you to simulate audio and acoustic systems by combining physical acoustics, audio DSP, and psychoacoustic evaluation to assess perceptual effects earlier in the design process. You can validate designs by generating VST or Audio Unit plugins, and process audio samples using AI models and hosted audio plugins.
