== Programs ==

A few examples of applications are provided in [source:examples/ examples/] and [source:python/ python/]:

 - aubioonset
    outputs the onset detected
 - aubionotes
    uses both onset and pitch to extract symbolic music data from an audio source and emit MIDI like data.
 - aubiocut
    a python script that takes an input sound and creates one new sample at each detected onset or beat. The slices produced by aubiocut are useful for use with a sequencer such as Hydrogen.
 - aubiopitch
    a python script to extract pitch tracks from sound files

== Audacity ==

It is ''possible'' to use aubioonset from within audacity, but this requires patching the audacity source code, and rebuilding it. For more informations, see the [source:plugins/audacity/README README] in the [source:plugins/audacity plugins/audacity directory].

If you are not familiar with this kind of operation, you can just load the text file produced by:
{{{
  $ aubiocut -i file.wav > file.txt
