1. A computer-implemented method for editing signal data, the method comprising steps of:
- displaying original signal data as a three-dimensional representation, wherein each dimension of the representation corresponds to an attribute of the original signal data;
receiving user input that indicates a selected portion of the representation;
modifying the original signal data by applying an effect to one or more parts of the original signal data that correspond to the selected portion, thereby producing modified signal data; and
storing the modified signal data on a computer-readable medium;
wherein three different attributes of the original signal data are spatially represented within the three-dimensional representation along three different spatial axes, each axis of the axes following a separate vector that points from a common reference point shared by the three different spatial axes, and each axis-following vector pointing in a different direction for each other axis-following vector;
wherein said steps are performed by one or more computing devices.

Abstract
Techniques for editing signal data using a three-dimensional visual representation of the signal data are provided. According to one embodiment of the invention, audio signal data is displayed as a surface occupying three dimensions. User input, which indicates a selected area of the surface, is received. The audio signal data is then modified by applying an effect to one or more parts of the audio signal data that correspond to the selected area.

25. A computer-implemented method for visualizing signal data, the method comprising steps of:
-
categorizing separate portions of the signal data into separate categories of sound of a plurality of categories of sound; displaying the signal data as a three-dimensional representation; wherein the dimensions of the representation correspond to dimensions of frequency, amplitude, and time; and wherein displaying the representation comprises coloring sections of the representation based on categories of sound to which parts of the signal data corresponding to the sections belong; wherein each category of the plurality of categories is associated with a different color; wherein said steps are performed by one or more computing devices. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)
