Given a sample clip, I would like to be able to find in another audio
file a part that sounds similar to the clip. So for example, given a
cymbal sample, I would like to be able to find a part of an audio file
that sounds similar to a cymbal. I am not interested in beat detection,
but rather just getting a single slice.
Having only a basic grasp of digital audio theory I am
wondering what algorithms would be applicable for this situation. I am
also new to Linux audio, so I would appreciate any pointers to
libraries that provide this functionality or means to implement it
myself.
