songsee

Generate spectrograms and multi-panel audio feature visualizations from audio files.

Prerequisites

Requires Go:

go install github.com/steipete/songsee/cmd/songsee@latest

Optional: ffmpeg for formats beyond WAV/MP3.

Quick Start

# Basic spectrogram
songsee track.mp3

# Save to specific file
songsee track.mp3 -o spectrogram.png

# Multi-panel visualization grid
songsee track.mp3 --viz spectrogram,mel,chroma,hpss,selfsim,loudness,tempogram,mfcc,flux

# Time slice (start at 12.5s, 8s duration)
songsee track.mp3 --start 12.5 --duration 8 -o slice.jpg

# From stdin
cat track.mp3 | songsee - --format png -o out.png

Visualization Types

Use --viz with comma-separated values:

Type	Description
`spectrogram`	Standard frequency spectrogram
`mel`	Mel-scaled spectrogram
`chroma`	Pitch class distribution
`hpss`	Harmonic/percussive separation
`selfsim`	Self-similarity matrix
`loudness`	Loudness over time
`tempogram`	Tempo estimation
`mfcc`	Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients
`flux`	Spectral flux (onset detection)

Multiple --viz types render as a grid in a single image.

Common Flags

Flag	Description
`--viz`	Visualization types (comma-separated)
`--style`	Color palette: `classic`, `magma`, `inferno`, `viridis`, `gray`
`--width` / `--height`	Output image dimensions
`--window` / `--hop`	FFT window and hop size
`--min-freq` / `--max-freq`	Frequency range filter
`--start` / `--duration`	Time slice of the audio
`--format`	Output format: `jpg` or `png`
`-o`	Output file path

Notes

WAV and MP3 are decoded natively; other formats require ffmpeg
Output images can be inspected with vision_analyze for automated audio analysis
Useful for comparing audio outputs, debugging synthesis, or documenting audio processing pipelines
