%Song on Regular Speed
sound(note_array, 1/delta);
wavwrite(note_array, 1/delta, '301_hw1_1A');

%Prob 1b -- Double Speed = half the beat interval

%Song on 2x Speed

%Prob 1c -- Twice the pitch

%Note Sounds 2x Pitch

note_array3 = [quarter_G3 quarter_Bf3 dot_qrtr_C3 quarter_G3 quarter_Bf3 eighth_Df3 haft_C3 quarter_G3 quarter_Bf3 dot_qrtr_C3 quarter_Bf3 quarter_G3];

%Song on 2x Pitch
sound(note_array3, 1/ delta);
wavwrite(note_array3, 1/delta, '301_hw1_1C');

%Problem 2
%Read and play the original song
[y, Fs] = wavread('Beatles.wav');
sound(y, Fs);

%Flip the song and save this version
flip = flipud(y);
sound(flip, Fs);
wavwrite(flip, Fs, 'Beatles_flip');

% 1. Number 9 is repeated.
% 2. It sounds mostly like gibberish but if I had to guess it ends in dead man.
