OPTIMIZATION FOR TECHNICAL TARGETS IN AUDIO CONTENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240038256 titled 'OPTIMIZATION FOR TECHNICAL TARGETS IN AUDIO CONTENT

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application relates to a computer-readable medium containing executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a system to perform certain operations. These operations include obtaining a target for audio energy and a version of a sound mix that includes audio components. The system then computes a measurement value for each audio frame of the audio components and optimizes the gain values of the audio frames based on the energy target and the measurement values. Finally, the optimized gain values are applied to the first version of the sound mix to obtain a second version.

  • The patent application involves a computer-readable medium with executable instructions that optimize audio gain values in a sound mix.
  • The system obtains a target for audio energy and a version of the sound mix.
  • For each audio frame, the system computes a measurement value based on audio features.
  • The gain values of the audio frames are optimized using the energy target and measurement values.
  • The optimized gain values are then applied to the first version of the sound mix to obtain a second version.

Potential Applications:

  • Audio production and mixing software tools.
  • Sound engineering and post-production processes.
  • Music production and mastering applications.
  • Video editing and audio synchronization tools.

Problems Solved:

  • Inconsistent audio levels in sound mixes.
  • Difficulty in achieving desired audio balance and energy.
  • Time-consuming manual adjustment of audio gain values.
  • Inefficient optimization of audio components in a mix.

Benefits:

  • Improved audio quality and balance in sound mixes.
  • Time and effort savings in adjusting audio gain values.
  • Enhanced control over audio energy and dynamics.
  • Streamlined audio production and post-production workflows.


Original Abstract Submitted

some implementations of the disclosure relate to a non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause a system to perform operations comprising: obtaining a first energy-based target for audio; obtaining a first version of a sound mix including one or more audio components; computing, for each audio frame of multiple audio frames of each of the one or more audio components, a first audio feature measurement value; optimizing, based at least on the first energy-based target and the first audio feature measurement values, gain values of the audio frames; and after optimizing the gain values, applying the gain values to the first version of sound mix to obtain a second version of the sound mix.
