=========================================================================== TimeSide : scalable audio processing framework and server written in Python

TimeSide is a Python framework enabling low and high level audio analysis, imaging, transcoding, streaming and labelling. Its high-level API is designed to enable complex processing on very large datasets of any audio or video assets with a plug-in architecture and a secured scalable backend.

Introduction

As the number of online audio applications and datasets increase, it becomes crucial for researchers and engineers to be able to prototype and test their own algorithms as fast as possible on various platforms and usecases like computational musicology and streaming services. On the other side, content providers and producers need to enhance user experiences on their platforms with more metadata based on cultural history but also audio feature analyses. Growing those metadata synchronously with the music published on the internet implies that the analysis and storage systems can be easily updated, scaled and deployed.

TimeSide has been developed in this sense to propose an online audio processing service. It provides:

Documentation

Install

Thanks to Docker, Timeside is now fully available as a docker composition ready to work. The docker based composition bundles some powerful applications and modern frameworks out-of-the-box like: Python, Numpy, Jupyter, Gstreamer, Django, Celery, PostgreSQL, Redis, uWSGI, Nginx and more.

First, install Docker <https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/> and docker compose <https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/>

Then clone TimeSide and start it up::

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Ircam-WAM/TimeSide.git
cd TimeSide
docker compose up -d

That's it! Now please go to the :ref:User Interfaces section to see how to use it.

.. note:: To get technical support, please reach the development team. If you need to use TimeSide outside a docker image please refer to the rules of the Dockerfile which is based on a Debian stable system. We will NOT provide any kind of free support in this paticular usecase outside the original docker container.
