We think that if we’re going to say “We the united people” in the splice (Program 104), “united” should be really emphasized—really loud. Change the program so that the word “united” is maximally loud (normalized) in the phrase “united people.”

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

```
def splicePreamble3():
source = makeSound("preamble10.wav")
# This will be the newly spliced sound
target = makeEmptySoundBySeconds (5)
samples = getSamples(target)
sourceSamples = getSamples(source)
targetIndex =0

# Where the word "We The" is in the sound
for sourceIndex in range (8864 , 18235):
value = getSampleValue(sourceSamples[sourceIndex])
setSampleValue(samples[targetIndex] , value)
targetIndex = targetIndex +1

#Silence Second
for silence in range(0, 2250):
setSampleValue(samples[targetIndex] , 0)
targetIndex = targetIndex +1

#Normalize the "United" word
largest = -1
for sourceIndex in range (33414 , 40052):
largest = max(largest, getSampleValue(sourceSamples[sourceIndex]))
multiplier = 32767.0 / largest

# Where the word "United" is in the sound
for sourceIndex in range (33414 , 40052):
value = multiplier*getSampleValue(sourceSamples[sourceIndex])
setSampleValue(samples[targetIndex] , value)
targetIndex = targetIndex +1

#Silence Second
for silence in range(0, 2250):
setSampleValue(samples[targetIndex] , 0)
targetIndex = targetIndex +1

# Where the word "People" is in for source
for sourceIndex in range(17408, 26726):
value = getSampleValue(sourceSamples[sourceIndex])
setSampleValue(samples[targetIndex] , value)
targetIndex = targetIndex + 1

play(target)
return target
