D. Thesis, M.I.T., June, 2000. I believe there is a JASA article based on this. Jean Laroche, "Estimating Tempo, Swing and Beat Locations in Audio Recordings", Proc. 2001 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA01), pp. 135-138 (2001) ISBN 0-7803-7126-7. Masataka Goto has done some work in this area. (http://staff.aist.go.jp/m.goto/) Avery Wang, "instantaneous and Frequency-Warped Signal Processing Techniques for Auditory Source Separation", Ph. D. Thesis, Stanford Univ. (1994). (ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Publications/Theses/AveryWangThesis) There are also some theses on separating transients from sinusoids, e.g., Scott Levine and Tony Verma at Stanford. ------ Jim Beauchamp Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign jwbeauch(at)uiuc.edu
