Abstract
A user selects an audio sample to be combined with a set of audio samples. The selected sample is automatically combined with the set of samples based on metadata corresponding to the sample and metadata corresponding to the set of samples. The rhythmic content (beat locations) of the sample and/or set of samples is automatically adjusted to increase rhythmic coherence of the sample and the set of samples, and a pitch of the sample and/or set of samples is automatically adjusted to increase harmonic coherence of the sample and the set of samples. The user is thus able to select a sample and a set of samples, and have one or both automatically adjusted so that the combination sounds good together both rhythmically and harmonically. Audio samples can be similarly combined with other audio samples, and sets of audio samples can be similarly combined with other sets of audio samples.
