Several of the software projects I've been working on at the Centre for Digital Music are in need of a new release. I ran some queries on the SoundSoftware code site, where much of my code lives, to find projects I'm a member of that have seen some work (in the form of repository commits)… Continue reading Unreleased project pile-up

MIREX 2014 submissions
Last year, Luís Figueira and I experimentally submitted a batch of audio analysis methods, implemented in Vamp plugins developed over the past few years at the C4DM, to the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation Exchange (MIREX). I found the process interesting and wrote an article about the results. I wasn't sure whether to do a repeat… Continue reading MIREX 2014 submissions
SoundSoftware tutorial at AES 53
I'll be co-presenting the first tutorial session at the Audio Engineering Society 53rd Conference on Semantic Audio, this weekend. (It's the society's 53rd Conference, and it happens to be about semantic audio. It's not their 53rd conference about semantic audio. In fact it's their second: that was also the theme of the AES 42nd Conference… Continue reading SoundSoftware tutorial at AES 53

During the past 7 years or so, we in the Centre for Digital Music have published quite a few audio analysis methods in the form of Vamp plugins: bits of software that you can download and use yourself with Sonic Visualiser, run on a set of audio recordings with Sonic Annotator, or use with your… Continue reading QM Vamp Plugins in MIREX
Looking at the Sonic Visualiser user survey (part 1)

Then it pops up a dialog, just once, asking if you'd like to fill in the survey. If you say yes, you… Continue reading Looking at the Sonic Visualiser user survey (part 1)
Can you develop research software on an iPad?
I've just written up a blog article for the Software Sustainability Institute about research software development in a "post-PC" world. (Also available on my project's own site.) Apart from using the terms "post-PC", "touch tablet", "app store", and "cloud" a disgracefully large number of times, this article sets out a problem that's been puzzling me… Continue reading Can you develop research software on an iPad?
