Abstract

Multimedia and sound databases require special attention to perform automatic searching for any musical data. To enable automatic search, sound processing and parameterization is needed. This paper investigates dependencies between most popular sound attributes used for sound description purposes. Apart from experiments and results, we present considerations on possible further research, including industry applications.
