Auto-adaptive Resonance Equalization using Dilated Residual Networks

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:1807.08636v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In music and audio production, attenuation of spectral resonances is an important step towards a technically correct result. In this paper we present a two-component system to automate the task of resonance equalization. The first component is a dynamic equalizer that automatically detects resonances and offers to attenuate them by a user-specified factor. The second component is a deep neural network that predicts the optimal attenuation factor based on the windowed audio. The network is trained and validated on empirical data gathered from an experiment in which sound engineers choose their preferred attenuation factors for a set of tracks. We test two distinct network architectures for the predictive model and find that a dilated
