Hi everyone! I'm working on a python based script and need some help. The script is designed in such a way that auto-generates entire albums of music, meta-data included. Basically, the script takes three random audio files from a defined folder of my choosing, places them on top of each other in an Ableton Live file, and then exports it as an .aiff. It would do this based on randomly generated number of tracks and track lengths. Then after they are exported, file metadata like "Album Name" and "Track Name" would be generated through the Wikipedia API (as the titles of random articles). This is probably the best way I can explain it. I don't exactly know the technical limitations of things like Python or Ruby, or if applications like Ableton Live are able to be hacked like that. If you think this project sounds interesting, lets get in touch.

Hi, I'm Matt S Rinc and I can help you with 20 years of software development, custom programming and multimedia work. Would you be so kind to provide more detail of the Ableton Live file you need? Because the other parts are quite understandable - you want description of audio files taken from Wikipedia (or maybe Gracenote database, used in iTunes?) and save files as the AIFF file(s). Now, questions: 1. In what format do you have your audio files to use? 2. The AIFF file usually contains one song or one/several sound loops etc. If you provide more information/pointers regarding several sounds in one AIFF file, I will explore more. 3. Yes, the Python script would be sufficient but really need more details regarding input sounds. After that I will be able to expand on the work needed for this project. Best Regards, Matt

Hey, (just between you and me, it's delightful to see an American here. Most sentences uttered by people here, who are usually from countries like Zimbabwe or India, are not-understandable collections of words). I think I understand what you need, and I think all the other freelancers are bidding WAY too high. 4000 dollars for what you want is complete bullshit. I'm just going to tell you what I understood you wanted, and you say whether or not that's what you meant(I find this helps avoid confusion):. -You want a script that asks you to specify a folder. From that folder, it randomly takes three audiofiles -It then starts up Ableton Live, imports the files, lays them on top of each other, and exports them to a .aiff file OR: -It then lays the audiofiles on top of eachother, in a similair way to Ableton Live, and exports them to an .aiff file(this is not exactly what you described, but it produces the same result, and is much less prone to bugs such as when you upgrade to a new version of Ableton. You can also use it on computers that don't have Ableton, this way) -It then takes random Wikipedia articles, and adds the titles to the file as RIFF("metadata") Please let me know if I misunderstood anything. I can help you with this, so how about you select *me* as your freelancer? Looking forward to working with you!

Hello, I am a Data Scientist with extensive experience in web-scraping and Python Development. This would be a little different than my 'typical' projects, but this sounds very interesting! I will do some additional research, but, I believe this could be accomplished with Python. Are you hoping for this script to have a user interface, or run from the command line? If you are available to chat, I have some additional questions about your project and goals. You can send me a message on here or we can chat via skype: sellwill00 I look forward to hearing from you! Regards, William
