Python audio signal processing library

Project description

======
madmom
======

Madmom is an audio signal processing library written in Python with a strong
focus on music information retrieval (MIR) tasks.

The library is internally used by the Department of Computational Perception,
Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria (http://www.cp.jku.at) and the
Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI), Vienna, Austria
(http://www.ofai.at).

Possible acronyms are:

- Madmom Analyzes Digitized Music Of Musicians
- Mostly Audio / Dominantly Music Oriented Modules

It includes reference implementations for some music information retrieval
algorithms, please see the `References`_ section.


Documentation
=============

Documentation of the package can be found online http://madmom.readthedocs.org


License
=======

The package has two licenses, one for source code and one for model/data files.

Source code
-----------

Unless indicated otherwise, all source code files are published under the BSD
license. For details, please see the `LICENSE <LICENSE>`_ file.

Model and data files
--------------------

Unless indicated otherwise, all model and data files are distributed under the
`Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0
<http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode>`_ license.

If you want to include any of these files (or a variation or modification
thereof) or technology which utilises them in a commercial product, please
contact `Gerhard Widmer <http://www.cp.jku.at/people/widmer/>`_.


Installation
============

Please do not try to install from the .zip files provided by GitHub. Rather
install it from package (if you just want to use it) or source (if you plan to
use it for development) by following the instructions below. Whichever variant
you choose, please make sure that all prerequisites are installed.

Prerequisites
-------------

To install the ``madmom`` package, you must have either Python 2.7 or Python
3.3 or newer and the following packages installed:

- `numpy <http://www.numpy.org>`_
- `scipy <http://www.scipy.org>`_
- `cython <http://www.cython.org>`_
- `nose <https://github.com/nose-devs/nose>`_ (to run the tests)

If you need support for audio files other than ``.wav`` with a sample rate of
44.1kHz and 16 bit depth, you need ``ffmpeg`` (``avconv`` on Ubuntu Linux has
some decoding bugs, so we advise not to use it!).

Please refer to the `requirements.txt <requirements.txt>`_ file for the minimum
required versions and make sure that these modules are up to date, otherwise it
can result in unexpected errors or false computations!

Install from package
--------------------

The instructions given here should be used if you just want to install the
package, e.g. to run the bundled programs or use some functionality for your
own project. If you intend to change anything within the `madmom` package,
please follow the steps in the next section.

The easiest way to install the package is via ``pip`` from the `PyPI (Python
Package Index) <https://pypi.python.org/pypi>`_::

pip install madmom

This includes the latest code and trained models and will install all
dependencies automatically.

You might need higher privileges (use su or sudo) to install the package, model
files and scripts globally. Alternatively you can install the package locally
(i.e. only for you) by adding the ``--user`` argument::

pip install --user madmom

This will also install the executable programs to a common place (e.g.
``/usr/local/bin``), which should be in your ``$PATH`` already. If you
installed the package locally, the programs will be copied to a folder which
might not be included in your ``$PATH`` (e.g. ``~/Library/Python/2.7/bin``
on Mac OS X or ``~/.local/bin`` on Ubuntu Linux, ``pip`` will tell you). Thus
the programs need to be called explicitely or you can add their install path
to your ``$PATH`` environment variable::

export PATH='path/to/scripts':$PATH

Install from source
-------------------

If you plan to use the package as a developer, clone the Git repository::

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CPJKU/madmom.git

Since the pre-trained model/data files are not included in this repository but
rather added as a Git submodule, you either have to clone the repo recursively.
This is equivalent to these steps::

git clone https://github.com/CPJKU/madmom.git
cd madmom
git submodule update --init --remote

Then you can simply install the package in development mode::

python setup.py develop --user

To run the included tests::

python setup.py test

Upgrade of existing installations
---------------------------------

To upgrade the package, please use the same mechanism (pip vs. source) as you
did for installation. If you want to change from package to source, please
uninstall the package first.

Upgrade a package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simply upgrade the package via pip::

pip install --upgrade madmom [--user]

If some of the provided programs or models changed (please refer to the
CHANGELOG) you should first uninstall the package and then reinstall::

pip uninstall madmom
pip install madmom [--user]

Upgrade from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simply pull the latest sources::

git pull

To update the models contained in the submodule::

git submodule update

If any of the ``.pyx`` or ``.pxd`` files changed, you have to recompile the
modules with Cython::

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Package structure
-----------------

The package has a very simple structure, divided into the following folders:

`/bin <bin>`_
this folder includes example programs (i.e. executable algorithms)
`/docs <docs>`_
package documentation
`/madmom <madmom>`_
the actual Python package
`/madmom/audio <madmom/audio>`_
low level features (e.g. audio file handling, STFT)
`/madmom/evaluation <madmom/evaluation>`_
evaluation code
`/madmom/features <madmom/features>`_
higher level features (e.g. onsets, beats)
`/madmom/ml <madmom/ml>`_
machine learning stuff (e.g. RNNs, HMMs)
`/madmom/models <madmom/models>`_
pre-trained model/data files (see the License section)
`/madmom/utils <madmom/utils>`_
misc stuff (e.g. MIDI and general file handling)
`/tests <tests>`_
tests

Executable programs
-------------------

The package includes executable programs in the `/bin <bin>`_ folder.
If you installed the package, they were copied to a common place.

All scripts can be run in different modes: in ``single`` file mode to process
a single audio file and write the output to STDOUT or the given output file::

SuperFlux single [-o OUTFILE] INFILE

If multiple audio files should be processed, the scripts can also be run in
``batch`` mode to write the outputs to files with the given suffix::

SuperFlux batch [-o OUTPUT_DIR] [-s OUTPUT_SUFFIX] LIST OF INPUT FILES

If no output directory is given, the program writes the output files to same
location as the audio files.

The ``pickle`` mode can be used to store the used parameters to be able to
exactly reproduce experiments.

Please note that the program itself as well as the modes have help messages::

SuperFlux -h

SuperFlux single -h

SuperFlux batch -h

SuperFlux pickle -h

will give different help messages.
