SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generate visual representations of audio content (spectrograms and multi-panel audio feature visualizations) from audio files to aid analysis and documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-panel visualizations (spectrogram, mel, chroma, MFCC, tempogram, etc.) of input audio
  • CLI-based generation with simple commands and optional ffmpeg support for additional formats
  • Useful for audio analysis, music production debugging, and visual documentation

Quick Start

Run songsee on a track (e.g., track.mp3) to produce a spectrogram and feature visualizations.

Frequently Asked Questions about songsee

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a spectrogram from an mp3 file for audio analysis?

To generate a spectrogram from an mp3 file, you can use a CLI tool like songsee to produce multi-panel audio feature visualizations. It processes common audio formats directly from the command line for music analysis and documentation.

What audio visualizations can I create for music production debugging?

For music production debugging, you can create multi-panel audio visualizations including spectrograms, mel, chroma, MFCC, and tempogram panels. These visual outputs help analyze audio features and identify issues within tracks.

Can I analyze audio formats beyond common types like mp3?

Yes, you can analyze additional audio formats beyond common types by installing ffmpeg. The songsee CLI uses ffmpeg to extend its format support, allowing you to process a wider variety of audio inputs.

Do I need the Go toolchain to run songsee for audio visualization?

Yes, you need the Go toolchain installed to install and run the songsee CLI. The Go environment is a prerequisite for executing the commands that generate spectrograms and audio feature visualizations.

What is the best way to visually document audio features like MFCC and chroma?

The best way to visually document audio features like MFCC and chroma is using a CLI utility that outputs multi-panel visualizations. This approach generates comprehensive visual documentation directly from your input audio files.

Why does songsee require optional dependencies for audio analysis?

Songsee requires optional dependencies like ffmpeg to handle extended audio formats beyond the default supported types. The core Go toolchain handles standard visualization generation, while ffmpeg expands the range of processable audio inputs.
