Only way I managed to install it was to compile it myself. Any other way I would only keep getting a recursive dependency error, with ChromaPrint requiring FFmpeg and FFmpeg requiring ChromaPrint.
# start clean. make sure you have xcode installed and all the other basics such as brew.
brew uninstall --force ffmpeg chromaprint amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk
# installs ffmpeg vanilla as dependency
brew install chromaprint amiaopensource/amiaos/decklinksdk
# let's neuter that shit
brew unlink ffmpeg
# install dependencies to cook our own
brew install automake fdk-aac git lame libass libtool libvorbis libvpx opus \
sdl shtool texi2html theora wget x264 x265 xvid nasm
# and we're done brewing. Lay off the beer for now.
# clone head
# if you ever want to update or customize FFmpeg at any point
# just delete the binary (/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg in this case)
# and start again from this step.
git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
# at this point, ChromaPrint has to be installed, else this step will fail.

# I have no idea if this will work in windows.
