Post 17- Software

A key piece of music analysis software I have used to obtain music data in this project is Sonic Visualiser, a free program developed at the Queen Mary University of London. It was developed as a visual aid to help musicologists and signal processing researchers study sound recordings and has many features and plugins that were useful to me such as the waveform generator, key detection and tempo detection. Aside from being useful for this project, it is genuinely interesting to use and exploring the myriad ways in which it can output sound into visuals can easily swallow up an hour.
