This paper presents a novel approach to audio restoration, focusing on the enhancement of
low-quality music recordings, and in particular historical ones. Building upon a previous …

Virtual analog effects are a consequence of the ongoing digitization of all equipment used in
music production. Various digital methods to imitate the warm or lo-fi sound qualities that …

Style transfer of polyphonic music recordings is a challenging task when considering the
modeling of diverse, imaginative, and reasonable music pieces in the style different from …

Archiving digital audio is conducted to preserve and make records accessible. However,
techniques for assessing the quality of experience (QoE) of sound archives are usually …

This paper discusses the sonic characteristics of the bucket-brigade device (BBD) and
associated circuitry. BBDs are integrated circuits which produce a time-delayed version of …

The restoration of nonlinearly distorted audio signals, alongside the identification of the
applied memoryless nonlinear operation, is studied. The paper focuses on the difficult but …

For decades, analog magnetic tape recording was the most popular method for recording
music, but has been replaced over the past 30 years first by DAT tape, then by DAWs and …

Objective Past literature indicates that vibrato measurements of singers objectively changed
(ie, vibrato rate decreased and vibrato extent increased) from 1900 to the present day; …

Recent advances in semiconductor technology eventually allowed for affordable and
pragmatic implementations of sound processing algorithms based on physical laws, leading …

In this paper, a new variational Bayesian (VB) learning algorithm is proposed to remove
sparse impulsive noise from speech signals. The clean signal is modeled using an …
