Cats, The Musical! Algorithmic Song Meow-ification
summary
A project that turns uploaded audio into a cat-voiced rendition, demonstrating which parts actually work and which are brittle. It extracts melody with third party tools like Sonic API and experiments with the free melodia MIDI extractor, maps MIDI pitches to piano notes, adjusts durations using ffmpeg trim and concat operations, and builds a multi‑octave meow library by recording and normalizing samples. Failures include imperfect melody extraction and engineering debt; future fixes mention caching, Shazam‑style song ID, and a web UI.
