nnAudio 0.3.1¶
Welcome to nnAudio 0.3.1. A big shout out to Miguel Pérez who made this new update possible. Please feel free to check out his github repositories too.
This new version restructured the coding style, making things more modular and pythonic. In terms of functionalities, everything remains the same. In the future releases, nnAudio.Spectrogram will be replaced by nnAudio.features (see also features().)
VQT() is finally avaliable in version 0.3.1 thanks to Hao Hao Tan!
Quick Start¶
from nnAudio import features
from scipy.io import wavfile
import torch
sr, song = wavfile.read('./Bach.wav') # Loading your audio
x = song.mean(1) # Converting Stereo to Mono
x = torch.tensor(x, device='cuda:0').float() # casting the array into a PyTorch Tensor
spec_layer = features.STFT(n_fft=2048, freq_bins=None, hop_length=512,
window='hann', freq_scale='linear', center=True, pad_mode='reflect',
fmin=50,fmax=11025, sr=sr) # Initializing the model
spec = spec_layer(x) # Feed-forward your waveform to get the spectrogram
nnAudio is an audio processing toolbox using PyTorch convolutional neural network as its backend. By doing so, spectrograms can be generated from audio on-the-fly during neural network training and the Fourier kernels (e.g. or CQT kernels) can be trained. Kapre has a similar concept in which they also use 1D convolutional neural network to extract spectrograms based on Keras.
Other GPU audio processing tools are
torchaudio and
tf.signal.
But they are not using the neural network approach, and hence the
Fourier basis can not be trained. As of PyTorch 1.6.0, torchaudio is
still very difficult to install under the Windows environment due to
sox. nnAudio is a more compatible audio processing tool across
different operating systems since it relies mostly on PyTorch
convolutional neural network. The name of nnAudio comes from
torch.nn.
The implementation details for nnAudio have also been published in IEEE Access, people who are interested can read the paper.
The source code for nnAudio can be found in GitHub.
