TimeSide 0.9.6

Use cases

• Scaled audio computing (filtering, machine learning, etc)

• Web audio visualization

• Audio process prototyping

• Realtime and on-demand transcoding and streaming over the web

• Automatic segmentation and labelling synchronized with audio events

Goals

• Do asynchronous and fast audio processing with Python,

• Decode audio frames from any audio or video media format into numpy arrays,

• Analyze audio content with some state-of-the-art audio feature extraction libraries like Aubio, Yaafe and VAMP as well as some pure python processors

• Visualize sounds with various fancy waveforms, spectrograms and other cool graphers,

• Transcode audio data in various media formats and stream them through web apps,

• Serialize feature analysis data through various portable formats,

• Provide audio sources from plateform like YouTube or Deezer

• Deliver analysis and transcode on provided or uploaded tracks over the web through a REST API

• Playback and interact on demand through a smart high-level HTML5 extensible player,

• Index, tag and annotate audio archives with semantic metadata (see Telemeta which embed TimeSide).

• Deploy and scale your own audio processing engine through any infrastructure
