## 🎓 Usage Examples

### Example 1: Deep Learning
```python
from models.neural_network_model import DeepMusicClassifier

classifier = DeepMusicClassifier(model_type='cnn')
classifier.build_model()
classifier.train(X_train, y_train, epochs=100)
classifier.evaluate(X_test, y_test)
```

from utils.audio_augmentation import AudioAugmenter

augmenter = AudioAugmenter()
augmented_audio = augmenter.add_noise(audio)
stretched = augmenter.time_stretch(audio, rate=1.1)
```

### Example 3: Advanced Features
```python
from utils.advanced_features import AdvancedFeatureExtractor

extractor = AdvancedFeatureExtractor()
features = extractor.extract_all_advanced_features(audio)
```

### Example 4: Model Comparison
```python
from utils.model_comparison import ModelComparator

comparator = ModelComparator()
comparator.train_and_evaluate(X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test)
comparator.plot_comparison()
```

### Example 5: Real-Time Processing
```python
from utils.realtime_processor import RealtimeAudioProcessor

processor = RealtimeAudioProcessor()
processor.process_stream(audio_stream, classify_func)
```

## 🔄 Migration Guide

### If you have existing code:

1. **Update requirements:**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

2. **Import new modules:**
```python
from utils import (
AudioAugmenter,
AdvancedFeatureExtractor,
ModelComparator,
RealtimeAudioProcessor
)
```

3. **Use existing code as-is:**
- All previous code remains compatible
- New features are additions, not replacements

---

## 🎯 Recommended Workflow

### For Beginners:
1. Start with basic features (`feature_extractor.py`)
2. Train simple models (`train_model.py`)
3. Gradually add advanced features

### For Advanced Users:
1. Use `AdvancedFeatureExtractor` for better features
2. Apply `AudioAugmenter` for data augmentation
3. Train `DeepMusicClassifier` for best accuracy
4. Use `ModelComparator` to find optimal model

### For Production:
1. Implement `RealtimeAudioProcessor`
2. Use `FeatureCache` for speed
3. Deploy best model from `ModelComparator`
