... I like to record myself when I sleep to listen for any sleep talk, and I feel like this would make it finding any sleep-talk a lot simpler for me. If you look at the recording in spectrogram view , ( rather than the default waveform view ), portions containing speech will be identifiable by pat...

Now I want to go random through a picture, pick up information (color, position) and transform those to musical parameters. And those I might feed into Audacity.
