AudioSample is an optimized numpy-like audio manipulation library, created for researchers, used by developers.

It is an advanced audio manipulation library designed to provide researchers and developers with efficient, numpy-like tools for audio processing. It supports complex audio operations with ease and offers a familiar syntax for those accustomed to numpy.

AudioSample is perfect for data loading and ETLs, because its fast and has a low memory footprint due to lazy actions.

Features

• Seamless Audio Operations: Perform a wide range of audio manipulations, including mixing, filtering, and transformations.
• Integration with Numpy: Leverage numpy's syntax and capabilities for intuitive audio handling.
• Integration with Torch: Export audio directly to and from torch tensors.
• High Performance: Optimized for speed and efficiency, suitable for research and production environments. Most actions are lazy, so no operation done until absolutely necessary.
• Extensive I/O Support: Easily read from and write to various audio formats. Utilizes PyAv - to support multiple ranges.

Release notes 2.2.1

• Support up to numpy 2.2.0
• Streaming input, streaming output:
  • AudioSample now supports receiving a python generator for input Generator[Union[bytes,numpy,AudioSample]]
  • Warning: It currently still stores everything in memory so this can't live forever.
  • Plugin functionality is not supported in stream mode.
  • streaming mode requires PyAV (See example below):
• Constructor supports numpy buffers (same as calling AudioSample.from_numpy use force_read_sample_rate to set sample rate.)

Installation

To install AudioSample, use pip:

to install all prerequisites:

pip install audiosample[all] 
#linux/WSL:
pip install audiosample[all] 

#Possible extras are:
[av] - only av
[torch] - add torch
[tests] - include everything for tests.
[noui] - install without jupyter support.

#Mac OS:
brew install portaudio
#linux/WSL:
apt-get install portaudio19-dev
[play] - bare, with ability to play audio in console. (uses pyaudio)

Usage

Here's a quick example of how to load, process, and save audio using AudioSample:

import audiosample as ap
import numpy as np

# Create a 1 second audio sample with 44100 samples per second and 2 channels
au = ap.AudioSample.from_numpy(np.random.rand(2, 48000), rate=48000)
beep = ap.AudioSample().beep(1).to_stereo()
out = au.gain(-12) * beep
out.write("beep_with_overlayed_noise.mp3")
out = au.gain(-10) + au.silence(1) + beep
out.write("noise_then_silence_then_beep.mp3")

Additional Operations

• Resampling: Fast resampling of audio.
• Normalization: Easily normalize audio levels.
• Mixing: Easily mix multiple audio sources together. Using * sign
• Concat Easily concat audio sources. Using + sign
• Playback: Play audio directly in Jupyter notebooks or from the command line.

AudioSample outperforms SoundFile

verylongbeep.wav - is a 3200s file. (293M)

import soundfile as sf
from audiosample import AudioSample

def test_audiosample():
    out = AudioSample("verylongbeep.wav")[1500:1501].as_numpy()

def test_soundfile():
    with sf.SoundFile("verylongbeep.wav") as f:
        f.seek(48000*1500)
        out = f.read(48000)

In [5]: %timeit test_audiosample()

Streaming code example below:

def chunkify(buffer: bytes):
    CHUNK_SIZE = 1000
    for i in range(0, len(buffer), CHUNK_SIZE):
        yield buffer[i:i+CHUNK_SIZE]

testmp3 = open('test.mp3','rb').read()

collect = b''
for chunk in AudioSample(chunkify(testmp3), force_read_sample_rate=48000, force_sample_rate=8000).as_data_stream(force_out_format='mulaw')
     collect += chunk

open('test.mulaw','wb').write(chunk)
