Hi,
I am a computer science student pursuing my dual degree (Btech + Ms)
fro International Institute of Information Technology - Hyderabad, India. I
am also doing reseach in machine learning in music and contribute to
acousticbrainz, scilab. I am interested in doing Gsoc in Mixxx this year. I
have successfully completed a Gsoc project in Scilab last year. Below is a
brief description of the idea for Gsoc:
1.Dynamic beat detection: Many times the beat structure of the song changes
in between of the song, due to which the detected beats are wrong. However
there are open source libraries which can help us find the exact beat even
if the structure changes in between of the song. This will help the Djs in
mixing better. I plan to give this as an option to the Dj to go with the
dynamic beat detection or static one(the current beat detection).
2.Jump cues: For every song most of the Djs have some point from where they
jump to another one. The idea wil be allow the Djs to give an option of
setting special cues known as the jump cues, where in the Djs set two point
. The first point will be the point to jump from and the second point will
the point to jump to. when playing a song the dj needs to press just a
single button for activating the jump cue anytime, and as soon as the song
reaches the point 1, the song jumps to the point 2, and this allows the dj
to be more free while playing a live set.
3.Song recommender: A song recommender which suggest songs to the Djs from
his music library which might be suitable for a mashup with a selected
song. This feature will be based on the key information of the tracks.
I think these are some of the features which might make Mixxx a game
changer in this industry, as no other softwares have these capabilities and
will be usefull for a Dj to a great extent. If selected I plan to complete
feature 2 and 3 before the midterm evaluation and then feture 1 between the
mid term and final term evaluations.
I would love your feedbacks and suggestions.
