Audio Processing Projet

Hello, this is my first post on here so I hope I am in the right directory to ask this or if there’s another channel I should sent this in, let me know.

Basically, what I am trying to do is use a sound sensor to read audio data with a Raspberry Pi 4, and then process that data in batches over time. My current setup is a MAX4466 sensor hooked up to an ADS1115 ADC. On my PC, I’ve designed an ML model with python that I’m using when running my main script on the RPi. With this ML model and with my sensor setup, I want to be able to extract key components of real-time audio like MCFFs and close this project.

I am highly considering purchasing a digital-out sensor for this project to remove the ADC because I am not getting the results I want, but I am skeptical about whether or not it’s necessary. If anyone has any advice, references, or can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

I’ve also included an image of my setup. The red LED is there because I want it to turn on if the Pi detects that specific MCFFs are coming in from the sensor.
