| 3 | aubio has been built to be used by audio developpers to add high level feature extraction to their softwares. Because these tasks are difficult, we thought it was important to gather them in a dedicated library. To increase the fun, we have made these algorithms work in a causal or almost causal way, so as to be used in real time applications with as low delay as possible. |

| 7 | aubio is written in C. The current version of aubio depends on: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - [http://www.mega-nerdz.com/libsndfile libsndfile], the sound file acces from Erik de Castro Lopo |
| 10 | - [http://www.mega-nerdz.com/libsamplerate libsamplerate], the resampling library, also from Erik |
| 11 | - [http://fftw.org FFTW], the Fastest Fourier Transform of the West, from the Steven G. Johnson et al. at MIT |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The following dependencies are optional: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | - [http://jackit.sf.net JACK], Jack Audio Connection Kit, for real-time audio input/output on linux and macosx |
| 16 | - [http://www.alsa-project.org ALSA], for midi output from aubionotes |
| 17 | - [http://www.swig.org Swig], to build modules for languages supported by SWIG (perl, java and many more) |
| 18 | - [http://python.org Python], to build and use the python scripts provided in the [source:python python directory]. |
