Abstract

Claims (46)

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

identifying, with a computing device, a first audio characteristic of a first audio track;

identifying, with the computing device, a second audio characteristic of a second audio track;

receiving, at the computing device, data representing a user-generated trigger;

determining a transition parameter, responsive to the user-generated trigger, for the first audio track and the second audio track based on one or more of the first audio characteristic and the second audio characteristic; and

causing presentation of a transition from the first audio track to the second audio track.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first audio characteristic and the second audio characteristic comprise one or more of a tempo, beat phrase, key, and time signature.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the first audio characteristic and the second audio characteristic respectively comprise:

identifying a first beat-per-minute; and

identifying a second beat-per-minute.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying data representing a first track portion of the first audio track based on first audio characteristic;

identifying data representing a second track portion of the second audio track based on second audio characteristic; and

aligning the second track portion to the first track portion at a processor of the computing device to form a mix point autonomously.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:

applying the transition parameter to cause modification of a volume to cause fading of either the first audio track or the second audio track, or both.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the first audio characteristic and the second audio characteristic is responsive to receiving the data representing the user-generated trigger.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the transition parameter comprises:

identifying metadata; and

determining the transition parameter based on the metadata associated with the first audio track or the second audio track.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the data representing the user-generated trigger comprises:

receiving data indicative of a user interaction with a user interface.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving data indicative of a gesture based on sensor data.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving data indicative of a movement based on sensor data.

11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving data indicative of a change in environment including a change in ambient noise.

12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the transition parameter comprises data representing one or more of a mix point, a reverb processing parameter, a fade-out time for the first audio track, a fade-in time for the second audio track, and a playback rate of the second audio track.

13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transitioning from the first audio track to the second audio track based at least in part on the transition parameter.

14 . A system comprising:

a memory comprising:

executable instructions to implement a track parameter module configured to identify a first audio characteristic of a first audio track, and to identify a second audio characteristic of a second audio track; and

executable instructions to implement an autonomous mixer module configured to determine a transition parameter for the first audio track and the second audio track based on one or more of the first audio characteristic and the second audio characteristic; and

a processor configured to execute the executable instructions to implement the track parameter module and the autonomous mixer module, the processor further configured to receive data representing a user-generated trigger and to cause presentation of a transition from the first audio track to the second audio track.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the first audio characteristic and the second audio characteristic comprise a tempo.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the first audio characteristic and the second audio characteristic respectively comprise:

a first beat-per-minute; and

a second beat-per-minute.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to execute another set of executable instructions to implement the autonomous mixer module, which is configured to determine a first subset of beats determined by the first beat-per-minute and to determine a second subset of beats determined by the second beat-per-minute,

wherein the processors is configured to align the first subset of beats to the second subset of beats to form a midpoint autonomously.

18 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the executable instructions to implement the track parameter module comprise:

executable instructions to identify metadata and to determine the transition parameter based on the metadata associated with the first audio track or the second audio track.

19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive data indicative of a gesture based on sensor data as the user-generated trigger.

20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive data indicative of a movement based on sensor data as the user-generated trigger.
