ABSTRACT The ITU-R BS. 1770 recommendation for measuring the perceived loudness of
audio signals has seen widespread adoption in broadcasting. Due to its simplicity, this …

An intelligent dynamic range compression (DRC) algorithm, using the CA-DAFX processing
architecture, produces the optimal amount of dynamic range for multitrack recordings. The …

Intelligent Music Production presents the state of the art in approaches, methodologies and
systems from the emerging field of automation in music mixing and mastering. This book …

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 …

This thesis explores how the study of realistic mixes can expand current knowledge about
multitrack music mixing. An essential component of music production, mixing remains an …

Manually setting the level of each track of a multitrack recording is often the first step in the
mixing process. In order to automate this process, loudness features are computed for each …

This paper proposes and evaluates a perceptual model for the measurement of “punch” in
musical signals based on a novel algorithm. Punch is an attribute that is often used to …

This paper proposes a perceptual model for the measurement of “punch” in musical signals.
Punch is an attribute that is often used to characterize music or sound sources that convey a …

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 …

This work investigates the perceptual accuracy of the ITU-Recommendation BS. 1770
loudness algorithm when employed in a basic auto mixing system. Optimal filter parameters …
