Automatic Music Mixing using a Generative Model of Effect Embeddings

ICASSP 2026oral

Music mixing involves combining individual tracks into a cohesive mixture, a task characterized by subjectivity where multiple valid solutions exist for the same input. Existing automatic mixing systems treat this task as a deterministic regression problem, thus ignoring this multiplicity of solutio…

Latent Diffusion Bridges for Unsupervised Musical Audio Timbre Transfer

ICASSP 2025accepted

Music timbre transfer is a challenging task that involves modifying the timbral characteristics of an audio signal while preserving its melodic structure. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on dual diffusion bridges, trained using the CocoChorales Dataset, which consists of unpaired mono…

Variable Bitrate Residual Vector Quantization for Audio Coding

ICASSP 2025accepted

Recent state-of-the-art neural audio compression models have progressively adopted residual vector quantization (RVQ). Despite this success, these models employ a fixed number of codebooks per frame, which can be suboptimal in terms of rate-distortion tradeoff, particularly in scenarios with simple…

Timbre-Trap: A Low-Resource Framework for Instrument-Agnostic Music Transcription

ICASSP 2024accepted

In recent years, research on music transcription has focused mainly on architecture design and instrument-specific data acquisition. With the lack of availability of diverse datasets, progress is often limited to solo-instrument tasks such as piano transcription. Several works have explored multi-in…

VRDMG: Vocal Restoration via Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Multiple Guidance

ICASSP 2024accepted

Restoring degraded music signals is essential to enhance audio quality for downstream music manipulation. Recent diffusion-based music restoration methods have demonstrated impressive performance, and among them, diffusion posterior sampling (DPS) stands out given its intrinsic properties, making it…

Music Mixing Style Transfer: A Contrastive Learning Approach to Disentangle Audio Effects

ICASSP 2023accepted

We propose an end-to-end music mixing style transfer system that converts the mixing style of an input multitrack to that of a reference song. This is achieved with an encoder pre-trained with a contrastive objective to extract only audio effects related information from a reference music recording.…

Automatic DJ Transitions with Differentiable Audio Effects and Generative Adversarial Networks

ICASSP 2022accepted

A central task of a Disc Jockey (DJ) is to create a mixset of music with seamless transitions between adjacent tracks. In this paper, we explore a data-driven approach that uses a generative adversarial network to create the song transition by learning from real-world DJ mixes. The generator uses tw…

Differentiable Signal Processing With Black-Box Audio Effects

ICASSP 2021accepted

We present a data-driven approach to automate audio signal processing by incorporating stateful third-party, audio effects as layers within a deep neural network. We then train a deep encoder to analyze input audio and control effect parameters to perform the desired signal manipulation, requiring o…

Modeling Plate and Spring Reverberation Using A DSP-Informed Deep Neural Network

ICASSP 2020accepted

Plate and spring reverberators are electromechanical systems first used and researched as means to substitute real room reverberation. Currently, they are often used in music production for aesthetic reasons due to their particular sonic characteristics. The modeling of these audio processors and th…
