Jipes For Mac

Jipes is a unique, easy to use, simple, open source library that allows you to efficiently compute audio features.

Possible uses for these features are general music information retrieval (MIR) applications or more specifically personal music software like beaTunes.

Unlike many other digital signal processing (DSP) libraries or frameworks, Jipes is not meant for real time processing of a single audio stream that is manipulated and eventually played back.

Instead, it focuses on efficiently executing mutiple processing pipelines that transform a signal into a feature or feature set. While doing so, Jipes attempts to avoid duplication of work, by applying some simple optimizations.

For example, if two pipelines each require the same audio data, a certain window size, application of a Hann window and the transformation of the signal via FFT, Jipes will perform these processing steps exactly once.

Only when processing steps are different or too complex to optimize, two different steps are executed.
