Using Python to split an Audio Track into chords

I thought it would be interesting to use Chordify as a tool for remixing. I have tried some remixing in the past, but it was very tedious to harmonize tracks, it took a lot of trial and error.

It is a little easier now with Chordify, but still hard to find tracks with matching chords. I wrote a Python script to split tracks in to smaller tracks based on the chord progression using the time aligned midi export.

This is what the wav output look like :

000.D#_G_A#_86bpm-Thick As Thieves.wav

"000" = The segment number, "D#_G_A#" = the chord note names, "86bpm" = bpm, and "Thick As Thieves" = the song name.

The entire output looks like this. I've checked in FL Studio and the Audio Segments line up correctly with the time aligned midi file.

Now I can search for "D#_G_A#" and get all song segments that use the exact same chord. In theory these would be ideal to to use together in a remix. The nice thing about this is I can search in a directory of songs and find other song segment in songs that use the same chord. I'm not sure...how useful this will actually be for remixing, but I'm look forward to finding that out soon.

Here is the script for windows.  
WARNING: This is messy "uncommented" code. 
I would have been lost without ChatGPT.  
I am not going to do much more code writing until 
I see how useful this is in practice. 



Notes:
If you copy and paste this in to vs code you will see the 
space format is wrong, Maybe someone knows how to fix that?

Requirements: mido

https://pypi.org/project/mido/

MP3 import would be nice, I couldn't figure out how to do this with PyDub or Librosa.  
You have to convert mp3 to wav.  

I use ffmpeg:  ffmpeg -i file.mp3 file.wav

Here is a windows batch script to convert a directory of mp3 files:

for %%a in (*.mp3) do (
  ffmpeg -i "%%~na.mp3" "%%~na.wav"
)

To run the script, edit these variables:

mid = Path to midi File

song  = Path to WAV file. 

out = "Full:/Path/To/ Ouput/Directory/"

name = "Song Name"
