Building a dance music dataset

Now that we have datasets available so that we can build our own dataset, we'll look at different ways of using the information contained in a MIDI file. This section will serve as an introduction to the different tools that can be used for dataset creation using only MIDI files. In this section, we'll use the LMD-full distribution.

In the next section, Building a jazz dataset, we will delve deeper into using external information.

Threading the execution to handle large datasets faster

When building datasets, we want our code to execute fast because of the amount of data we'll be handling. In Python, using threading and multiprocessing is one way to go. There are many ways of...
