DJ Mix Transition Analysis [Web Demo]

Taejun Kim, Yi-Hsuan Yang and Juhan Nam
"Reverse-Engineering The Transition Regions of Real-World DJ Mixes using Sub-band Analysis with Convex Optimization"
Proceedings of the New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME), 2021 [Slides]

Code for WEB DEMO can be found here.

In this example, we are going to use the awesome mix below by Palms Trax since it is one of the author's favorite mixes. data/meta/tracklist.csv contains the tracklist of the mix which is manually collected by the author from YouTube comments.

Palms Trax | Boiler Room: Streaming From Isolation | #11

NOTE: This study and repository are extensions of our previous study and repository, mix-to-track subsequence alignment, a preprocessing step of this transition analysis.

Outputs

You can get visualizations of transition analysis as shown below after running scripts:

Transition Visualization

and audio files reproduced by the algorithm under results directory:

Installing python packages

NOTE: This repo is written and tested on Python 3.8.10.

You can install required Python packages using the code below:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install madmom==0.16.1  # madmom should be installed after installing cython

Running scripts

The scripts should be run in order as described below:

  1. python scripts/download.py downloads audio files from YouTube.
  2. python scripts/feature_extraction.py extracts features and saves them under cache/ using disk-caching of joblib.
  3. python scripts/alignment.py performs mix-to-track subsequence DTW and saves the alignment results.
  4. python scripts/segmentation.py performs mix segmentation and saves the results.
  5. python scripts/reproduce_mixing.py finally performs transition analysis using convex optimization.
