14DESCRIPTION
15
16  aubioonset attempts to detect onset times, the beginning of discrete sound
17  events, in audio signals.
18
19  When started with an input source (-i/--input), the detected onset times are
20  given on the console, in seconds.
21
22  When started without an input source, or with the jack option (-j/--jack),
23  aubioonset starts in jack mode.
24
25OPTIONS
26
27  This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
28  starting with two dashes (--). A summary of options is included below.
29
30  -i, --input source  Run analysis on this audio file. Most uncompressed and
31  compressed are supported, depending on how aubio was built.
32
33  -o, --output sink  Save results in this file. The file will be created on
34  the model of the input file. Onset times are marked by a short wood-block
35  like sound.
36
37  -r, --samplerate rate  Fetch the input source, resampled at the given
38  sampling rate. The rate should be specified in Hertz as an integer. If 0,
39  the sampling rate of the original source will be used. Defaults to 0.
40
41  -B, --bufsize win  The size of the buffer to analyze, that is the length
42  of the window used for spectral and temporal computations. Defaults to 512.
43
44  -H, --hopsize hop  The number of samples between two consecutive analysis.
45  Defaults to 256.
46
47  -O, --onset method  The onset detection method to use. See ONSET METHODS
48  below. Defaults to 'default'.
49
50  -t, --onset-threshold thres  Set the threshold value for the onset peak
51  picking. Values are typically in the range [0.001, 0.900]. Lower threshold
52  values imply more onsets detected. Increasing this threshold should reduce
53  the number of incorrect detections. Defaults to 0.3.
54
55  -s, --silence sil  Set the silence threshold, in dB, under which the onset
56  will not be detected. A value of -20.0 would eliminate most onsets but the
57  loudest ones. A value of -90.0 would select all onsets. Defaults to -90.0.
58
59  -T, --timeformat format  Set time format (samples, ms, seconds). Defaults to
60  seconds.
61
62  -m, --mix-input  Mix source signal to the output signal before writing to
63  sink.
64
65  -f, --force-overwrite  Overwrite output file if it already exists.
66
67  -j, --jack  Use Jack input/output. You will need a Jack connection
68  controller to feed aubio some signal and listen to its output.
69
70  -h, --help  Print a short help message and exit.
71
72  -v, --verbose  Be verbose.
73
74ONSET METHODS
75
76  Available methods are:
77
78  default  Default distance, currently hfc
79
80  Default: 'default' (currently set to hfc)
81
82  energy  Energy based distance
83
84  This function calculates the local energy of the input spectral frame.
85
86  hfc  High-Frequency content
87
88  This method computes the High Frequency Content (HFC) of the input
89  spectral frame. The resulting function is efficient at detecting
90  percussive onsets.

94
95  complex  Complex domain onset detection function
96
97  This function uses information both in frequency and in phase to determine
98  changes in the spectral content that might correspond to musical onsets.
99  It is best suited for complex signals such as polyphonic recordings.
