  • Publication number: 20240105203
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an enhanced audio file generator. One aspect is a method of enhancing input speech in an input audio file, the method comprising receiving the input audio file representing the input speech, wherein the input audio file is recorded at an audio recording device, and generating an enhanced audio file by applying an audio transformation model to the input audio file, wherein applying the audio transformation model to generate the enhanced audio file comprises extracting parameters defining audio features from the input audio file, the parameters including a noise parameter defining noise in the input audio file and one or more other preset parameters respectively defining other audio features, synthesizing clean speech based on the extracted parameters including the noise parameter, wherein synthesizing the clean speech comprises transforming the noise parameter to defined value(s); and generating the enhanced audio file with the synthesized clean speech.

  • Publication number: 20230260488
    Abstract: A method of determining relations between music items, wherein a music item is a submix of a musical composition comprising one or more music tracks, the method comprising determining a first input representation for at least part of a first music item, mapping the first input representation onto to one or more subspaces derived from a vector space using a first model, wherein each subspace models a characteristic of the music items, determining a second input representation for at least part of a second music item, mapping the second input representation onto the one or more subspaces using a second model, and determining a distance between the mappings of the first and second input representations in each subspace, wherein the distance represents the degree of relation between the first and second input representations with respect to the characteristic modelled by the subspace.

  • Publication number: 20230260492
    Abstract: A method of determining relations between music items, the method comprising determining a first input representation for a symbolic representation of a first music item, mapping the first input representation onto to one or more subspaces derived from a vector space using a first model, wherein each subspace models a characteristic of the music items, determining a second input representation for music data representing a second music item, mapping the second input representation onto the one or more subspaces using a second model, determining a distance between the mappings of the first and second input representation in each subspace, wherein the distance represents the degree of relation between the first and second input representation with respect to the characteristic modelled by the subspace.

  • Publication number: 20230223037
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for determining acoustic feature vectors of query and target items in a first vector space, and mapping the acoustic feature vectors to a second vector space having a lower dimension. The distribution of vectors in the second vector space can then be used to identify items from the same songs, and/or items that are complementary. A mapping function is trained using a machine learning algorithm, such that complementary audio items are closer in the second vector space than the first, according to a given distance metric.

  • Publication number: 20230075074
    Abstract: A system, method and computer product for combining audio tracks. In one example embodiment herein, the method comprises determining at least one music track that is musically compatible with a base music track, aligning those tracks in time, and combining the tracks. In one example embodiment herein, the tracks may be music tracks of different songs, the base music track can be an instrumental accompaniment track, and the at least one music track can be a vocal track. Also in one example embodiment herein, the determining is based on musical characteristics associated with at least one of the tracks, such as an acoustic feature vector distance between tracks, a likelihood of at least one track including a vocal component, a tempo, or musical key. Also, determining of musical compatibility can include determining at least one of a vertical musical compatibility or a horizontal musical compatibility among tracks.

  • Patent number: 11238839
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for identifying an audio stem. Audio stems (t1, . . . , tN) are stored on a stem database and songs (S1, . . . , SP) made with at least a subset of the plurality of the audio stems (t1, . . . , tN) are stored on a song database. At least partially composed song (S*) having a predetermined number of pre-selected stems (k) are received. In turn, a probability vector (or relevance value or ranking) is produced for each stem (t1, . . . , tN) to be complementary to the at least partially composed song (S*).
