DATA JOCKEY, A TOOL FOR META-DATA ENHANCED DIGITAL DJING AND ACTIVE LISTENING
Alex Norman, Xavier Amatriain · 2007
Data Jockey is a free and open-source digital DJ soft-ware system that allows users to mix several audio works based on content features, such as average brightness and average harmonicity, while syncing the works to a com-mon clock. This software allows users to search through an audio database using audio content descriptors as search criteria. These features help users explore their ever-expanding digital audio collections in new ways. Providing users with access to content descriptors will provoke interest-ing juxtapositions of different works and the evolution of content features over mixes. Access to these descriptors will help users find new meaning in these audio works and their combination. 1.
