What kind of solutions are there to analyze beats out of MP3 music in Python? The purpose of this would be to use rhythm information to time the keyframes of generated animation, export animation as video file and and mix the video and audio together.

  • Just noticed the "use rhythm information to time the keyframes of generated animation" part. You're making a visualizer of sorts? – JAB Jun 01 '11 at 19:03

Check this:

The Echo Nest Remix API

# You can manipulate the beats in a song as a native python list
beats = audio_file.analysis.beats
beats.reverse()

  • That's pretty neat, but out of curiosity are there any alternatives that don't require an active internet connection? – JAB Jun 01 '11 at 15:03
  • I am not a big fan of bringing in third party to a mix, especially if this is not 100% open source. – Mikko Ohtamaa Jun 02 '11 at 15:49
  • Can we get access to your link? It's posted publicly but I can't get to it without permission. – Papa De Beau Nov 19 '12 at 21:45
  • @PapaDeBeau it's not my link... it points to a library I found at the time. The link worked then but changed... You can try this instead: http://echonest.github.com/remix/ I think they're the same thing. – Leniel Maccaferri Nov 20 '12 at 01:16
