Audio segmentation into Sound-Silence using MuBu
Hi,
I've recently discovered MuBu and it seems to be able to help me with a task, but I can't figure out how to do it.
I need to segment the audio into sound-silence segments/markers.
Something like:
sound: start point: 0.00, end point 15.00;
silence: start point: 15.00, end point 25.00;And so on and so forth until the end of the audio length.
Can you give me a hint?
Thanks!
Why do you need this? Doing this kind of analysis is not as simple as it seems. What is considered "sound" or "silence" can be very different depending on the sound source, the dynamic, mean level, transients, etc. You'll never get a "one setting fit all situations".
Anyway, you can use the onseg processor to detect "sounds" and the gate processor to detect "silences", but then you need to merge these two datasets.
Or you can start with the loudness processor and do your math from here.
Most "slice modes" in samplers are based on was onseg can provide you, ie segments for each transient. Maybe it is a good start for you, at least to get a better understanding of the MuBu system.
As a ready-made example, you can check the Extras menu > MuBu-Overview > Tutorials > MuBu-howto-segmentation > [p onseg-with-descr-then-edit-and-resegment]
You might find more help in the MuBu section of the forum of the Ircam forum website.
You're engaging in a very tortuous road, so good luck to you, take your time, start simple, study examples, play with them, and read the doc ;)
