ABSTRACT
This MATLAB code aims to recognize musical notes from an audio file. The
process begins with loading the audio file and performing preprocessing steps
like converting stereo to mono and normalization. Spectrogram calculation is
then executed to obtain time-frequency representations of the audio signal.
Features are extracted from the spectrogram, such as mean amplitude, which are
subsequently thresholded to detect prominent notes. The detected note indices
are converted to corresponding frequencies, and based on these frequencies,
approximate notes are determined. Finally, the recognized notes are displayed.
This code provides a foundational framework for automated music note
recognition and can be extended and optimized for various applications in
music analysis and synthesis.

AIM :
The objective of our music note recognition mini project in MATLAB is
to develop an algorithm capable of accurately identifying and classifying
musical notes from audio signals. Through signal processing techniques,
particularly focusing on frequency analysis and spectral analysis, we aim to
extract key features that distinguish different musical notes. Our algorithm will
need to handle varying pitch, amplitude, and duration of notes, as well as
account for potential noise and background interference.
Furthermore, we aim to implement machine learning methodologies to improve
the accuracy and robustness of our note recognition system. This may involve
training a classifier using annotated audio data to learn patterns associated with
different notes and instruments. Additionally, we intend to optimize our
algorithm for real-time performance to ensure practical usability in various
applications, such as music transcription, automatic score generation, or
interactive music software.
Throughout the project, we will focus on achieving a high level of accuracy and
reliability in note identification across different musical contexts, including
different instruments and musical genres. We will also prioritize scalability and
flexibility to allow for future enhancements and integration into larger music-
related systems or applications. Ultimately, our goal is to create a versatile and
efficient music note recognition system that can contribute to advancements in
music technology and audio processing.

METHODOLOGY:
Methodology for Music Note Recognition Code:
1. Audio Preprocessing:
- Load the audio file ('pudhutrack.mp3') and convert it to mono format to
simplify processing.
- Normalize the audio to ensure consistent levels of amplitude across different
audio files.
2. Parameter Definition:
- Define parameters such as window size, hop size, and FFT size.
- Window size: 1024 samples, determining the length of each analysis
window.
- Hop size: 512 samples, specifying the overlap between consecutive
windows.
- FFT size: 1024 samples, determining the number of frequency bins in the
FFT.
3. Spectrogram Calculation:
- Compute the spectrogram of the preprocessed audio signal using the Short-
Time Fourier Transform (STFT) via the spectrogram function.
- Apply a Hann window to each frame of the signal to minimize spectral
leakage.
4. Feature Extraction:
- Extract features from the spectrogram to characterize the audio signal.
- Calculate the mean amplitude for each time frame to capture the energy
distribution across frequencies.
5. Note Detection:
- Threshold the mean amplitudes to detect prominent notes in the audio signal.
- Determine a suitable threshold (set here as 10% of the maximum mean
amplitude) to distinguish notes from background noise.

6. Note Frequency Calculation:
- Retrieve the frequencies corresponding to the detected notes from the
spectrogram.
7. Note Identification:
- Map the detected frequencies to their nearest musical note frequencies.
- Compare the detected frequencies with a predefined set of standard musical
note frequencies to assign note labels.
8. Results Display:
- Display the recognized notes in a human-readable format

The implementation of the provided code aims to recognize musical notes from
an audio file named "sample0.05.mp3". Here's a hypothetical example of the
results you might obtain after executing the code:
Detected notes:
CGAFDEGABCCDE
In this example, the code successfully detected and recognized several musical
notes from the input audio file. Each note is represented by a letter
corresponding to its musical pitch (e.g., C, G, A, etc.). The sequence of detected
notes provides insights into the melody or musical content present in the audio
file.

Inference:
2. *Robustness:*
- The code demonstrates robustness against variations in input audio, as it
preprocesses the audio signal to mono format and normalizes the amplitude,
ensuring consistent processing across different audio files.
- The Hann window function applied during spectrogram calculation helps
mitigate spectral leakage, contributing to the robustness of note detection.

- Detected notes are mapped to their nearest standard musical note
frequencies, enabling easy interpretation and understanding of the recognized
musical content.
- The code provides a clear and concise display of the recognized notes,
facilitating further analysis or integration into larger music processing systems.
Overall, the provided MATLAB code offers a practical solution for music note
recognition tasks, demonstrating effectiveness, robustness, and flexibility in
processing audio signals and extracting meaningful musical information.
