Jeff Scott
Bio:
I am currently a PhD student int the Music and Entertainment Technology Lab at Drexel University, focusing on digital signal processing, music production and machine learning. Before attending Drexel, I worked in the Test Department at MPL Incorporated in Ithaca, NY.
Education:
- MS Electrical Engineering, Drexel University 2010
- BS Phsyics, Ramapo College 2006
- BA Music, Ramapo College 2006
Research Interests:
- Machine learning applications to music production
- Machine listening and algorithms for high level auditory analysis
- Real-time audio processing
Research Projects:
- Automated Multi-Track Mixing - This system uses machine learning techniques to automatically combine individual instrument tracks into a single mixed song. Acoustic features are extracted from the audio and used to train the system to predict fader values for each instrument to produce a final mix.
- ALF - Audio processing Library for Flash - An audio toolkit for Flash developers that allows for easy integration of sophisticated audio processing routines into Flash-based applications. The toolkit opens myriad possibilities for game development including audio processing effects, feature extraction, etc. which allow developers to design music-driven applications.

Outside Interests:
Music is my passion, I enjoy composing electronic music as well as writing for solo guitar. I also am in Philadelphia based sci-fi progressive rock band Igor's Egg. We seek to create a science fiction world through music, video, art, books and programming.
