Perceptual evaluation and analysis of reverberation in multitrack music production
نویسنده
چکیده
Artificial reverberation is an important music production tool with a strong but poorly understood perceptual impact. A literature review of the relevant works concerned with the perception of musical reverberation is provided, and the use of artificial reverberation in multisource mixes is studied. The perceived amount of total artificial reverberation in a mixture is predicted using relative reverb loudness and early decay time, as extracted from the newly proposed Equivalent Impulse Response. Results indicate that both features have a significant impact on the perception of a mix and that they are closely related to the upper and lower bounds of desired amount of reverberation in a mixture.

An Analysis and Evaluation of Audio Features for Multitrack Music Mixtures
Mixing multitrack music is an expert task where characteristics of the individual elements and their sum are manipulated in terms of balance, timbre and positioning, to resolve technical issues and to meet the creative vision of the artist or engineer. In this paper we conduct a mixing experiment where eight songs are each mixed by eight different engineers. We consider a range of features desc...
متن کاملEvaluation of estimation models for acoustic reverberation time in educational and office environments
Noise pollution is considered as one of the most annoying factors in educational and office environments. In these environments where learning processes and intellectual activities are ongoing, an effective acoustic design is necessary. The aim of this paper is to assess the reverberation time as one of the important indicators in describing the acoustic characteristics of rooms. In this study,...
متن کاملMonaural room acoustic parameters from music and speech.
This paper compares two methods for extracting room acoustic parameters from reverberated speech and music. An approach which uses statistical machine learning, previously developed for speech, is extended to work with music. For speech, reverberation time estimations are within a perceptual difference limen of the true value. For music, virtually all early decay time estimations are within a d...
متن کاملNavigating the Mix-space: Theoretical and Practical Level-balancing Technique in Multitrack Music Mixtures
The mixing of audio signals has been at the foundation of audio production since the advent of electrical recording in the 1920’s, yet the mathematical and psychological bases for this activity are relatively under-studied. This paper investigates how the process of mixing music is conducted. We introduce a method of transformation from a “gainspace” to a “mix-space”, using a novel representati...
متن کاملFEATUR.UX: An Approach to Leveraging Multitrack Information for Artistic Music Visualization
FEATUR.UX (Feature ous) is an audio visualisation tool, currently in the process of development, which proposes to introduce a new approach to sound visualisation using pre-mixed, independent multitracks and audio feature extraction. Sound visualisation is usually performed using a mixed mono or stereo track of audio. Audio feature extraction is commonly used in the field of music information r...
