Drumix: An Audio Player with Real-time Drum-part Rearrangement Functions for Active Music Listening

This paper presents a highly functional audio player, called Drumix, that allows a listener to control the volume, timbre, and rhythmic patterns (drum patterns) of bass and snare drums within existing audio recordings in real time. A demand for active music listening has recently emerged. If the drum parts of popular songs could be manipulated, listeners could have new musical experiences by fr...

An Audio-based Real-time Beat Tracking System for Music With or Without Drum-sounds

This paper describes a real-time beat tracking system that recognizes a hierarchical beat structure comprising the quarter-note, half-note, and measure levels in real-world audio signals sampled from popular-music compact discs. Most previous beat-tracking systems dealt with MIDI signals and had difficulty in processing, in real time, audio signals containing sounds of various instruments and i...

Real - TimeMPEG Video Audio Player ?

This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental analysis of a distributed, real-time MPEG video and audio player. The player is designed for use across the Internet, a shared environment with variable tra c and with great diversity in network bandwidth and host processing speed. We use a novel toolkit approach to build software feedback mechanisms for client/server synchronizati...

A Real-Time Semiautonomous Audio Panning System for Music Mixing

A real-time semiautonomous stereo panning system for music mixing has been implemented. The system uses spectral decomposition, constraint rules, and cross-adaptive algorithms to perform real-time placement of sources in a stereo mix. A subjective evaluation test was devised to evaluate its quality against human panning. It was shown that the automatic panning technique performed better than a ...
