Hi,

After more than two years of running sonicAPI, we are happy to announce that we are finishing our beta phase in two weeks.

Free contingent and pricing as from 27th april.

New and existing users are getting a one-time free contingent of 2,5GB. Subject of the calculation is the amount of audio data we process and analyze for you. For details please see the new usage page.

We will offer special introductory prices for coupons that raise the limit. If you plan to use the service commercially we would appreciate to hear from you. What is your use case? How much data are you planning to analyze and process?

Upcoming API changes: chord detection and ogg as standard format

We are preparing a new analysis task for detecting chords in your audio files. Additionally, we are droppping support for encoding mp3 files. That means you will not be able to download your processing results in the mp3 format. The new standard format for downloads is going to become ogg.

The mp3 decoding will work as before, so you can continue uploading mp3 files as normal! Both api changes are rolled out with the new pricing model.

Your sonicAPI.com team!
