2 Sonic Visualiser | |
3 ================ | |
4 | |
5 Sonic Visualiser is a program for viewing and analysing the contents | |
6 of music audio files. | |
7 | |
8 With Sonic Visualiser you can: | |
9 | |
10 * Load audio files in various formats (WAV/AIFF, plus Ogg and mp3 | |
11 if compiled in) and view their waveforms | |
12 | |
13 * Look at audio visualisations such as spectrogram views, with | |
14 interactive adjustment of display parameters | |
15 | |
16 * Annotate audio data by adding labelled time points and defining | |
17 segments, point values and curves | |
18 | |
19 * Run feature-extraction plugins to calculate annotations | |
20 automatically, using algorithms such as beat trackers, pitch | |
21 detectors and so on | |
22 | |
23 * Import annotation data from various text formats and MIDI files | |
24 | |
25 * Play back the original audio with synthesised annotations, taking | |
26 care to synchronise playback with the display position | |
27 | |
28 * Slow down and speed up playback and loop segments of interest, | |
29 including seamless looping of complex non-contiguous areas | |
30 | |
31 * Export annotations and audio selections to external files. | |
32 | |
33 Sonic Visualiser can also be controlled remotely using the Open Sound | |
34 Control (OSC) protocol (if support is compiled in). | |
