history
Project history and usage
Sonic Lineup is a free, open-source application for rapidly comparing and aligning multiple recordings of the same or structurally similar musical material.
Project history
Sonic Lineup was developed at Queen Mary University of London's Centre for Digital Music as part of the Sonic Visualiser family. Its source credits Chris Cannam's early work from 2005–2007 and Queen Mary development through 2019.
The application was designed as a quick comparative companion to Sonic Visualiser: it aligns structurally related recordings and presents synchronized visualization modes, while intentionally omitting editing, annotation, and session export.
Adoption history
Sonic Lineup is distributed as free software for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Its narrowly focused workflow serves music researchers, recording engineers, performers, and listeners comparing alternate performances or takes.
How it is used
Users open several related audio files, choose one as the reference, and let Sonic Lineup calculate time alignments. They can then navigate or play the files in synchronization and switch all tracks among waveform, spectrogram, pitch, key, and stereo views.
Why package nerds care
Sonic Lineup packages several research-oriented audio-analysis techniques behind a deliberately constrained interface. It is useful when synchronized comparison is needed without the annotation and parameter complexity of Sonic Visualiser.
The project is also an accessible desktop showcase for the MATCH alignment algorithm and Vamp analysis plugins including Chordino, pYIN, and the QM Key Detector.
Timeline
- 2005–2007: Chris Cannam authored the early code credited by the official repository.
- 2019: Queen Mary published the reference manual for the 1.0 generation of Sonic Lineup.
