List of music software

This is a list of notable software for creating, performing, learning, analyzing, researching, broadcasting and editing music. This article only includes software, not services. For streaming services such as iHeartRadio, Pandora, Prime Music, and Spotify, see Comparison of on-demand streaming music services. For storage, uploading, downloading and streaming of music via the cloud, see Comparison of online music lockers. Although this field is only 46 years old, this list does not include discontinued historic or legacy software, with the exception of trackers that are still supported. For example, the company Ars Nova produces music education software, and its software program Practica Musica has remnants of the historic Palestrina software. Practica will be listed here, but not Palestrina. If a program fits dozens of categories, such as a comprehensive DAW or a foundation programming language (e.g. Pure Data), listing is limited to its top three categories.

Music mathematics software

Main article: Music and mathematics

See also: Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music and Mathematical software

• Julia (programming language) (MIT freeware, new, high level dynamic programming language competing with R (programming language), MATLAB and GNU Octave. All three of these are general dynamic programming platforms, so the many music applications are plugins. In particular, some new Julia plugins are statistical AI platforms ideal for music, for example, ApproxFun, the Julia ChebFun clone).

Unlike other more relatively "settled" topics in music, timbre (especially Harmonics), relating to characteristics of different instruments and the human voice, was a more subjective and controversial area of music analysis until recent advances in Fourier analysis (mathematics) allowed objective analysis and descriptions of overtones, envelope, etc. These advances utilize a wide variety of software programs, found in the list of lists at Mathematical software)

Music mining software

Main article: Data mining

See also: Music information retrieval and Audio mining

Music mining is a relatively new field of research and application under Music informatics, Data mining and, more generally, Signal processing. Commercially, music mining software is used to select and predict patterns that then enhance suggestions based on previous choices. In research, music mining is similar to data mining as a pattern recognition and sorting / classifying discipline, however, music mining also includes automated music analysis based on underlying mathematical and statistical patterns, extending and augmenting the traditional analysis of harmony, melody, timbre, rhythm, etc. found in Music Analysis (For example, signal processing of radio waves has no subjective emotional component or preference, whereas music mining and processing do, since radio waves cannot be heard by humans, and music frequencies and amplitudes can. This is a controversial and unsettled component of music mining research). Since this field is so new, many of the academic software programs (a majority GNU / freeware) do not yet have wiki articles; see the references and links for examples.

• Automatic content recognition E.g.:Beatgrid Media (TV an Music Sound identification with SDK for iOS, Android, Java,.Net and end solutions for broadcast ad monitoring and Passive Media Monitoring for Mobile Survey apps), ACRCloud (Supports iOS, Android, Java, Python Sdks for music identification and channel monitoring),

• BurgSys (Third party developer for RapidMiner) Although RapidMiner is commercial, previous releases are available open source as Affero General Public Licenses.
• Greenstone
• Mining Music (MuSort - MuMiner - MathaMusic)
• IMARS (IBM Developer projects)
• jMIR (For Java Music Information Retrieval, Freeware)
• The open source, free statistical software programming language R, from Revolution Analytics, has numerous developmental plugins for both data and music mining
• Julia (programming language) also is now competing with R, as well as able to call it, and most of its plugins.
