librosa.blocks_to_time

librosa.blocks_to_time(blocks, *, block_length, hop_length, sr)[source]

Convert block indices to time (in seconds)

Parameters:
blocksnp.ndarray

Block index or array of block indices

block_lengthint > 0

The number of frames per block

hop_lengthint > 0

The number of samples to advance between frames

srint > 0

The sampling rate (samples per second)

Returns:
timesnp.ndarray [shape=samples.shape]

The time index or indices (in seconds) corresponding to the beginning of each provided block.

Note that these correspond to the time of the first sample in each block, and are not frame-centered.

Examples

Get time indices for each block in a stream

>>> filename = librosa.ex('brahms')
>>> sr = librosa.get_samplerate(filename)
>>> stream = librosa.stream(filename, block_length=16,
...                         frame_length=2048, hop_length=512)
>>> for n, y in enumerate(stream):
...     n_time = librosa.blocks_to_time(n, block_length=16,
...                                     hop_length=512, sr=sr)
