MATLAB: How to only pass the signals that I want

audiofiltersignal processing

I have an audio signal and i added noise to it. I want to remove the noise with anytype of filter (I think its either Bandpass or low pass or maybe I can design my own filter like a certain function like a unit step function to multiply the part i want with 1 and the part that i dont want with zero).I have tried the embedded matlab function bandpass (single_AMAZOf,[1 4000],f) ,but it doesnt work and the output is just static and i Have tried making my own function but when I tried to multiply it it said that its size is too large.( I just need the signal in the middle the one between -0.5 and 0.5 all power 10^4).Any help?

hello

this code will do fft / spectrogram and bandpass filtering - adapt the corner frequencies to your own needs !

MATLAB: Efficient pass filters for EEG signals

The lowpass function (and those like it) have 2 outputs, the second being a digital filter object. Save the digital filter object and use it with filtfilt to use it with other signals.

That is much more efficient than designing it each time you use it, which is what it appears you are doing now. So, design it once and use it as often as necessary afterwards.
