Sonic Visualiser¶

• Development started late 2006, maintained ever since
• General-purpose tool to inspect (but not edit) audio, and edit labels and annotations
• Analysis plugins (Vamp plugin format)
• See sonicvisualiser.org

Tony¶

• Started in 2013
• Dedicated tool for sung-pitch annotation and note segmentation
• Uses Matthias Mauch's pYIN pitch-tracking plugin
• Informed by the work needed in Bittner, Salamon, Tierney, Mauch, Cannam, & Bello, MedleyDB: A Multitrack Dataset for Annotation-Intensive MIR Research and Mauch, Frieler, & Dixon Intonation in unaccompanied singing: Accuracy, drift, and a model of reference pitch memory
• (Despite relatively good results with Tony, all manual annotation was still dropped from MedleyDB 2.0 as too labour-intensive)
• See Tony project page

Sonic Lineup¶

• In "experimental mode" since 2007 - has had three different names - first test release last Friday, still unannounced!
• Tool for comparative visualisation of multiple related recordings at once
• No editing or annotation capabilities - no "document" or "session"
• Feedback wanted!
• See this project page (currently)
