    <p style="clear:both">Sonic Visualiser is a free, open-source application for
      Windows, Linux, and Mac, designed to be the first program you
      reach for when want to study a music recording closely. It's
      designed for musicologists, archivists, signal-processing
      researchers, and anyone else looking for a friendly way to look
      at what lies inside the audio file.</p>

    <p>Sonic Visualiser version 5.2.1 was released on 21 March 2025. <a href="download.html">Download it here!</a></p>

    <p>Sonic Visualiser is one of a family of four applications:</p>

    <ul><li>Sonic Visualiser itself is the most general, a program for
        highly configurable detailed visualisation, analysis, and
        annotation of audio recordings.</li>

      <li><a href="sonic-lineup/index.html">Sonic Lineup</a> is for rapid
        visualisation of multiple audio files containing versions of
        the same source material, such as performances from the same
        score, or different takes of an instrumental part.</li>

      <li><a href="tony/index.html">Tony</a> is for high quality pitch and
    note transcription for scientific applications, designed primarily
    for solo vocal recordings.</li>

      <li><a href="https://vamp-plugins.org/sonic-annotator/">Sonic
          Annotator</a> is a non-interactive command-line program
          application for batch audio feature extraction, using the
          same feature extraction plugins as Sonic Visualiser.</li></ul>
