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  -M, --minioi value  Set the minimum inter-onset interval, in seconds, the
56  shortest interval between two consecutive onsets. Defaults to 0.020
57
58  -s, --silence sil  Set the silence threshold, in dB, under which the onset
59  will not be detected. A value of -20.0 would eliminate most onsets but the
60  loudest ones. A value of -90.0 would select all onsets. Defaults to -90.0.
61
62  -T, --timeformat format  Set time format (samples, ms, seconds). Defaults to
63  seconds.
64
65  -m, --mix-input  Mix source signal to the output signal before writing to
66  sink.
67
68  -f, --force-overwrite  Overwrite output file if it already exists.
69
70  -j, --jack  Use Jack input/output. You will need a Jack connection
71  controller to feed aubio some signal and listen to its output.
72
73  -h, --help  Print a short help message and exit.
74
75  -v, --verbose  Be verbose.
76
77ONSET METHODS
78
79  Available methods are:
80
81  default  Default distance, currently hfc
82
83  Default: 'default' (currently set to hfc)
84
85  energy  Energy based distance
86
87  This function calculates the local energy of the input spectral frame.
88
89  hfc  High-Frequency content
90
91  This method computes the High Frequency Content (HFC) of the input
92  spectral frame. The resulting function is efficient at detecting
93  percussive onsets.

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

109
110  This function uses information both in frequency and in phase to determine
111  changes in the spectral content that might correspond to musical onsets. It
112  is best suited for complex signals such as polyphonic recordings.
