More trouble than I care to bother with since it's not ready-to-use.

From the dev's site:
"Don't forget your plugins!
Analysis plugins: Oh yes, you'll want some of those. Go to the Vamp plugin download page.
No plugins are included with Sonic Visualiser itself."

A superb application for the musician. It will do everything that the paid music analysis apps do - and for free. Very powerful. And with the available plug-ins permits such procedures as chord analysis, beat and bar tracking, as well as slow-down, pitch change...in fact it really can do most anything a musician wants

This is a must have bit of software for any music theorist that wants to indulge in some of the same sonic analysis of music that Robert Cogan came up with some years ago. Being freeware is also remarkable too
