LARA is able to:
- load, store and edit audio recordings in the most common formats,
- conduct an analysis of an audio signal (to start with: tone, pitch and volume) and to display the result,
- interpret the result of the analysis with symbols and diagrams, e.g. rhythm diagrams, phonetic transcriptions,
- and export the graphics for academic/scientific publication. The design of the Software ensures that:
- the researcher can build a platform to develop new methods of analysis
- the manual clearly explains the program's algorithms,
- the program is user-friendly and intuitive.
LARA represents a major component of the Interpretation and Performance research topic offered by the Lucerne School of Music.
