This week we came up with important tasks for each of us to complete to make sure a working prototype for the interim demo. For the demo we are hoping that the user would be able to upload a recording, the key, and the BPM. The web app should then trigger the transcription pipeline and then the user can view the score. We are aiming to have this all finished for a rhythmically very simple music piece.
These are the assigned tasks we each worked on this week:
Grace: Amplify Audio for Note segmentation, Review note segmentation after amplification, Rhythm Detection
Deeya: Get the Metronome working, Trigger backend from the webapp
Shivi: Learn how to write to MIDI file, Look into using MuseScore API + allowing user to edit generated music score and key signature
After the demo we are hoping to have the user be able to edit the score, refine the code to better transcribe more rhythmically complex audio, do lots of testing on a variety of audio, and potentially add tempo detection.
Also, all of our parts (microphone, xlr cable, and audio interface) have arrived and this week we will try to get some recordings with our mic from the flutists from SOM.
This week we completed the ethics assignment, which made us think a little bit more about plagiarism and user responsibilities when using our web app. We came to the conclusion that we might need to include a disclaimer for the user that they need to be careful and pay attention to where they are recording their piece so that someone else can’t do the same. Also, we have decided not to work on our stretch goal into a project anymore after reflecting on our conversation with Professor Chang. We instead will be focusing on making sure the web app interface is as easy as possible to use and that the user can customize and edit the sheet music our web app generates. Overall we are on track with our schedule.
