Sound, digested: New software tool provides unprecedented searches of sound, from musical riffs to gunshots: ""MediaMinedTM adds a set of ears to cloud computing," says Imagine Research's founder and CEO Jay LeBoeuf. "It allows computers to index, understand and search sound--as a result, we have made millions of media files searchable."
For recording artists and others in music production, MediaMinedTM enables quick scanning for a large set of tracks and recordings, automatically labeling the inputs.
"It acts as a virtual studio engineer," says LeBoeuf, as it chooses tracks with features that best match qualities the user defines as ideal. "If your software detects male vocals," LeBoeuf adds, "then it would also respond by labeling the tracks and acting as intelligent studio assistant--this allows musicians and audio engineers to concentrate on the creative process rather than the mundane steps of configuring hardware and software.""
