Fully Conditioned and Low-latency Black-box Modeling of Analog Compression

This page includes of audio examples for the paper Simionato R., Fasciani S., Fully Conditioned and Low-latency Black-box Modeling of Analog Compression, in Proceedings of the 26the Digital Audio Effects Conference (DAFx23), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2023.

Associated code, dataset, and trained models are available on GitHub.

Examples are available for the following compressor models:

• CL 1B – Dataset – Encoder Decoder Model Examples
• CL 1B – Dataset – Encoder Decoder Light Model Examples
• LA-2A – Dataset – Encoder Decoder Model Examples
• LA-2A – Dataset – Encoder Decoder Light Model Examples
• PSP MicroComp – Dataset – Encoder Decoder Model examples
• U-he Presswerk – Dataset – Encoder Decoder Model examples
• Softube FET – Dataset – Encoder Decoder Model Examples
• CL 1B – Dataset – Temporal Convolutional Network Model Examples

 

Each example includes the following:

• Input Audio Signal
• Target Output Audio Signal (true output recorded from the device)
• Predicted Output Audio Signal (generated by the inference of the trained model)
• Waveform of Target and Predicted Output Audio Signal with respective RMS values
• Spectrograms of Target and Predicted Output Audio Signal

The title of the waveform plot details the compressor control parameters, valid for all devices except the LA-2A:

• at = attack time (ms)
• re = release time (s)
• ra = compression ratio (ra:1)
• th = threshold (dBu)

For the LA2A, the control parameters detailed in the title of the waveform plot are the following:

• M = mode (1 compression, 0 limit)
• p = peak reduction (dimensionless)
