Import is slow

import audiomate

The import takes some time.
Check what causes this and probably only import some dependencies when needed.

Some numbers would be great so that we have something to compare to.

>>> def x():
...     import audiomate
...
>>> timeit.timeit(x)
7.001230426132679
>>>

In a fresh environment, it always takes around 6-8 seconds. Not that severe, but sucks when you startup interactive python to check something with the library.

In comparison pytorch takes less than 2.

>>> def y():
...     import torch
...
>>> timeit.timeit(y)
