Project Overview

This project explored how data analysis can support music production in unfamiliar genres. It identified which musical features can be reliably extracted using MIR tools, and where current technology falls short. The findings offer a framework for building future toolkits that combine measurable audio data with expert insight to guide genre-specific production.
