Hi Mohamed,
Welcome to mixxx-devel! Others have already mentioned some good resources
-- but I'd just like to respond to your question about implementing a key
detection algorithm. I should make it clear that we will definitely not
accept a GSoC project to implement a key detection algorithm from scratch!
Many PhD and MS theses have been devoted to this problem area so I don't
think you will make meaningful progress in 1 summer that isn't just
reinventing the wheel :).
In terms of libraries out there, there a few implementations to pick from:
* CLAM's Chordata
* KeyFinder / libkeyfinder
* Queen Mary university key detector
It would be great to see some discussion of which of these you think is
best for Mixxx. In general, the choice of algorithm should be immaterial to
the rest of the project. The real meat of the project comes after you've
gotten one of these key detection algorithms integrated into Mixxx.
We expect that this project may be particularly challenging to a student
not familiar with Mixxx or C++ so we are going to strongly suggest that
students interested in this project spend some time getting familiar with
the Mixxx codebase before the summer.
Best regards,
RJ Ryan
