Classifier Overview

Legacy classifier information

The information on this pagerefers to the legacy InDepthAnalysis, which will utlimatly be removed. Please use the new AudioAnalysisV6.

The Cyanite API exposes a variety of classifiers for your music.

Genre​

The genre multi-label classifier provides the following labels:

  • Ambient
  • Blues
  • Classical
  • Country
  • Electronic / Dance
  • Indie / Alternative
  • Jazz
  • Latin
  • Metal
  • Punk
  • Rap / Hip Hop
  • Reggae
  • Rock
  • Singer / Songwriter

Each label has a score reaching from 0-1, where 0 (0%) indicates that the track is unlikely to represent a given genre and 1 (100%) indicates a high probability that the track represents a given genre.

Since music could break genre borders the genre multi-label can predict multiple genres for a given song instead of only predicting one genre. A track could be classified with Rap / Hip Hop (Score: 0.9) but also Reggae (Score: 0.8).

The genre can be retrieved both for the whole track and the track segments.

Mood​

The mood multi-label classifier provides the following labels:

  • Energetic
  • Uplifting
  • Happy
  • Relaxing
  • Calm
  • Melancholic
  • Dark
  • Tense

Each label has a score reaching from 0-1, where 0 (0%) indicates that the track is unlikely to represent a given mood and 1 (100%) indicates a high probability that the track represents a given genre.

Since music can be an emotional rollercoaster the mood multi-label can predict multiple moods for a given song instead of only predicting one mood. A track could be classified with Dark (Score: 0.9), while also being classified with Tense (Score: 0.8).

The mood can be retrieved both for the whole track and the track segments.

Energy Level​

The Energy Level is a label for the intensity of an analysed track which can be either low, medium, high or variable. A low Energy Level indicates a calm overall appearance of a track while a high one stands for more strong and powerful characteristics. A track with a variable energy level will hold steady changes in its intensity profile.

Energy Dynamics​

With Energy Dynamics, we label the progression of the Energy Level throughout the duration of the music piece, where a low Energy Dynamics label stands for a stable trend and a high one depicts a strong variance between low and high Energy Levels. Is the Energy Dynamic labeled as high it implies a variable Energy Level (s.o.).

Emotional Profile​

The energy profile describes the tendency of a track expressing either a positive, neutral or negative emotion. Tracks with steady changes in their emotive expression will be labelled as variable.

Emotional Dynamics​

With Emotional Dynamics, we label the progression of the Emotional Profile throughout the duration of the music piece, where a low Emotional Dynamics label stands for a stable trend and a high one depicts a strong variance between low and high Emotional Profiles. Is the Emotional Dynamic labeled as high it implies a variable Emotional Profile (s.o.).

Voice Mean​

The Voice Mean Scores depict the portions of the track containing female or male singing voice or being instrumental (non-vocal).

Voice Presence Profile​

This label describes the amount of singing voice throughout the full duration of the track and may be low, medium or high.

Predominant Voice Gender​

This label indicates if the predominant singing voice holds more likely female or male characteristics. It may be none if no singing voice is detected.

BPM​

The BPM classifier provides you the BPM of the track.

Key​

The Key classifier provides you with a range of possible keys and the corresponding confidence.
