Holy cow, how has this not come across my radar until now? I just found out about Sonic Visualiser, an open source, free audio analysis workbench and plugin suite with superpowers.
A friend hit me up asking about free audio analysis tools, and I was about to let him down the hard way, saying “buddy, you really need to spend the dollarydoos on iZotope RX” when he asked what I thought about Sonic Visualiser. I hadn’t heard of it before, so I grabbed a copy of it and poked around for a few minutes. I’m astounded at what this, and the other tools in its suite can do. I want to put it through its paces more thoroughly, but holy moly does this look like a great tool. Thank you to the Center for Digital Music at Queen Mary University of London for creating and maintaining this fantastic set of tools. I can’t wait to dig in further.
