librosa.core.samples_to_frames

librosa.core.samples_to_frames(samples, hop_length=512, n_fft=None)[source]

Converts sample indices into STFT frames.

Parameters:
samples : int or np.ndarray [shape=(n,)]

sample index or vector of sample indices

hop_length : int > 0 [scalar]

number of samples between successive frames

n_fft : None or int > 0 [scalar]

Optional: length of the FFT window. If given, time conversion will include an offset of - n_fft / 2 to counteract windowing effects in STFT.

Note

This may result in negative frame indices.

Returns:
frames : int or np.ndarray [shape=(n,), dtype=int]

Frame numbers corresponding to the given times: frames[i] = floor( samples[i] / hop_length )
