This demonstration will showcase iZotope’s MediaMined Discover - a search engine for sound. MediaMined was developed by Imagine Research (acquired by iZotope in 2012) and awarded multiple National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Research grants (Phase I, Phase II, and Phase IIB). MediaMined uses state of the art digital signal processing and machine learning to analyze and index content.

This search engine enables a simple, intuitive workflow: “find me examples that sound like this.” Musicians and engineers repeat this process - layering up musical phrases, loops, or samples that are rhythmically or timbrally what they hear in their mind - a process that is natural, fast, enjoyable, and intuitive.
