Sonic Visualizer

Sonic Visualiser is a free, open source, cross-platform desktop application for music audio visualisation, annotation, and analysis. Load audio files in various formats (WAV/AIFF, Ogg, Opus, MP3 etc) and view their waveforms Look at audio visualisations such as spectrogram views, with interactive adjustment of display parameters Annotate audio data by adding labelled time points and defining segments, point values and curves Run feature-extraction plugins to calculate annotations automatically, using algorithms such as beat trackers, pitch detectors and so on (see Import annotation data from various text formats and MIDI files Play back the original audio with synthesised annotations, taking care to synchronise playback with the display position Slow down and speed up playback and loop segments of interest, including seamless looping of complex non-contiguous areas Export annotations and audio selections to external files. Sonic Visualiser can also be controlled remotely using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol (if support is compiled in). Sonic Visualiser was devised and developed up to release 4.2 in the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary University of London, primarily by Chris Cannam, with contributions from Christian Landone, Mathieu Barthet, Dan Stowell, Jesús Corral García, Matthias Mauch, and Craig Sapp. Special thanks to Professor Mark Sandler for initiating and supporting the project. The 5.0 release was supported once again by the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary University of London.
