Overlap-save method of block convolution for fast convolution on audio streams.

Posted on

Let $$\mathbf{h}$$ be a vector of size $$P$$ containing the impulse response you wish to convolve with, and let $$\mathbf{x}$$ contain an unknown number of float values which is the input audio stream. Note that an FIR filter can be expressed as follows: $$FIR(x[n],\mathbf{h})=y[n]=\sum_{j=0}^{P-1}({x[n+j] \cdot h[j]})$$ By chopping up $$x[n]$$ into sections of length $$L$$, […]
