AudioTSM is a python library for real-time audio time-scale modification
procedures, i.e. algorithms that change the speed of an audio signal without
changing its pitch.

Documentation:
   https://audiotsm.readthedocs.io/

Examples:
    https://muges.github.io/audiotsm/

Source code repository and issue tracker:
   https://github.com/Muges/audiotsm/

Python Package Index:
    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/audiotsm/

License:
   MIT -- see the file ``LICENSE`` for details.

Installation
------------

Audiotsm should work with python 2.7 and python 3.4+.

You can install the latest version of audiotsm with pip::

    pip install audiotsm

If you want to use the gstreamer plugins, you should install PyGObject_ and
python-gst_, and use the following command to install audiotsm::

    pip install audiotsm[gstreamer]

If you want to play the output of the TSM procedures in real time, or to use
the examples, you should install audiotsm as follow::

    pip install audiotsm[stream]

.. _PyGObject:
    https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html

.. _python-gst:
    https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-python.html


Basic usage
-----------

The audiotsm package implements several time-scale modification procedures:

- OLA (Overlap-Add), which should only be used for percussive audio signals;
- WSOLA (Waveform Similarity-based Overlap-Add), an amelioration of the OLA
  procedure which should give good results on most inputs.

If you are unsure which procedure to choose, the WSOLA should sound best in
most cases. You can listen to the output of the different procedures on various
audio files and at various speeds on the `examples page`_.

.. _examples page: https://muges.github.io/audiotsm/

Below is a basic example showing how to reduce the speed of a wav file by half
using the WSOLA procedure::

    from audiotsm import wsola
    from audiotsm.io.wav import WavReader, WavWriter

    with WavReader(input_filename) as reader:
        with WavWriter(output_filename, reader.channels, reader.samplerate) as writer:
            tsm = wsola(reader.channels, speed=0.5)
            tsm.run(reader, writer)
