audio-tuner-gui 0.11.1

Graphical interface for Audio Tuner

This is the GUI front end for Audio Tuner, a tool for musicians that analyzes and corrects the pitch of recorded audio.

It’s under active development, with more features and usability improvements planned for future versions. The current version is already usable, however.

Motivation

A surprisingly high proportion of recorded music doesn’t conform to any standard tuning system. You expect an A4 to be 440 Hz, but when you try to play along you realize it’s not. Audio Tuner is a tool for measuring the frequencies in an audio recording so it can be corrected if necessary. It’s designed to be convenient enough to use that you can do it with a musical instrument strapped to you.

The primary use case is to correct the tuning of your favorite songs so you can practice playing an instrument by playing along with them, but it can be used in any situation where you need to analyze and correct the pitch of a recording.

What it’s not

Audio Tuner is not autotune. It pitch corrects entire songs, not individual notes.

Dependencies

audio-tuner-gui requires Python version 3.11 or higher, libmpv2, and the audio-tuner and PyQt6 python packages.

Note that pip is not able to install libmpv2. If your operating system has a package manager, use that to install it. See the documentation for details.

Audio Tuner can be configured to use ffmpeg and ffprobe instead of libmpv2, at the cost of reduced functionality in the GUI.

Free as in Freedom

Audio Tuner is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later.

Versioning

Audio Tuner attempts to use Semantic Versioning, but with PEP 440 compatible version numbers.

New versions of the base Audio Tuner package and Audio Tuner GUI are released at the same time with the same version numbers. The API is already reasonably stable, but of course nothing’s guaranteed until it reaches version 1.0.0.
