librosa.db_to_amplitude

librosa.db_to_amplitude(S_db, ref=1.0)

Convert a dB-scaled spectrogram to an amplitude spectrogram.

This effectively inverts amplitude_to_db:

db_to_amplitude(S_db) ~= 10.0**(0.5 * (S_db + log10(ref)/10))

Parameters:

S_dbnp.ndarray

dB-scaled spectrogram

ref: number > 0

Optional reference power.

Returns:

Snp.ndarray

Linear magnitude spectrogram
