This week, I mostly focused on working on our design review presentation and our design proposal. Since this week I was the one presenting, I focused on making sure our slides were ready and rehearsed, and ensured that I could present all the information from my team mate’s slides as well as limiting words to make our presentation less word heavy. In class, we listened to the different presentations and gave feedback. This was helpful since professor Sullivan mentioned that some of our filtering for noise suppression might be excessive, which would slow down our processing time and lengthen our latency, so we will continue with experimenting using just the bandpass and see if the other filtering methods are necessary. I further experimented with using different thresholds and filters to better isolate the rhythm of single notes.
For this week, I will be working on my sections of the design review paper as well as doing further research on audio segmentation because depending on how this is working will determine how I will implement rhythm detection. I will be meeting with Shivi to work on this aspect. Our project is currently on schedule but other tasks might have to be pushed back with the introduction of audio segmentation. I hope to get this (audio segmentation + rhythm detection) working by the week after spring break at the latest.
