External dependency I/O overhead for out-of-core pipelines about muda HOT 5 OPEN

I would be really happy if we could replace the command-line call-outs with proper libraries. Unfortunately, there aren't any replacements that match for quality or functionality, and I'd prefer to not have variable backends for everything.

That said, pyrubberband might get a direct cython implementation soon, which would cut down on most of the issues here. Sox is a different story though.

OK that's fair. Cython pyrubberband sounds pretty exciting! For drc, what is a good way to objectively evaluate the quality of the transformation?

I think this would depend on your eventual application. In most muda applications, the measure of "quality" that we care about is the hold-out accuracy of a model trained on the augmentation outputs, and that's pretty heavily abstracted from the drc process.

It just occurred to me that audiotk might be a good drop-in replacement for Sox. It's got a heavier dependency chain, and I haven't actually used it, but it seems plausible. Anyone feel like taking a crack at reimplementing the DRC class to see if it's worth pursuing?

Sure I'll take a look. I did have some headaches getting audiotk up and running, which is not a promising development, but I'll try to take another crack when I have a chance.
