Non-Exponential Reverberation Modeling Using Dark Velvet Noise

no code implementations29 Mar 2024 Jon Fagerström, Sebastian J. Schelcht, Vesa Välimäki

This paper extends the previously proposed basic dark-velvet-noise reverberation algorithm and proposes a parametrization scheme for modeling late reverberation with arbitrary temporal energy decay.

A Diffusion-Based Generative Equalizer for Music Restoration

1 code implementation27 Mar 2024 Eloi Moliner, Maija Turunen, Filip Elvander, Vesa Välimäki

Feedback Delay Network Optimization

1 code implementation17 Feb 2024 Gloria Dal Santo, Karolina Prawda, Sebastian J. Schlecht, Vesa Välimäki

A common bane of artificial reverberation algorithms is spectral coloration, typically manifesting as metallic ringing, leading to a degradation in the perceived sound quality.

Diffusion Models for Audio Restoration

no code implementations15 Feb 2024 Jean-Marie Lemercier, Julius Richter, Simon Welker, Eloi Moliner, Vesa Välimäki, Timo Gerkmann

Here, we aim to show that diffusion models can combine the best of both worlds and offer the opportunity to design audio restoration algorithms with a good degree of interpretability and a remarkable performance in terms of sound quality.

HRTF Interpolation using a Spherical Neural Process Meta-Learner

no code implementations20 Oct 2023 Etienne Thuillier, Craig Jin, Vesa Välimäki

Several individualization methods have recently been proposed to estimate a subject's Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) using convenient input modalities such as anthropometric measurements or pinnae photographs.

Blind Audio Bandwidth Extension: A Diffusion-Based Zero-Shot Approach

no code implementations2 Jun 2023 Eloi Moliner, Filip Elvander, Vesa Välimäki

In cases where the lowpass degradation is unknown, such as in restoring historical audio recordings, this becomes a blind problem.

Neural modeling of magnetic tape recorders

no code implementations26 May 2023 Otto Mikkonen, Alec Wright, Eloi Moliner, Vesa Välimäki

The sound of magnetic recording media, such as open-reel and cassette tape recorders, is still sought after by today's sound practitioners due to the imperfections embedded in the physics of the magnetic recording process.

Diffusion-Based Audio Inpainting

1 code implementation24 May 2023 Eloi Moliner, Vesa Välimäki

The proposed method uses an unconditionally trained generative model, which can be conditioned in a zero-shot fashion for audio inpainting, and is able to regenerate gaps of any size.
