虚拟模拟(VA)建模旨在通过算法仿真硬件电路行为,以数字方式复现其音色。动态范围压缩器(DRC)是音乐制作中控制音频动态的关键模块,通过降低响亮部分、提升安静部分的音量来优化音轨表现。近年来,基于神经网络的VA建模在生成高保真模型方面展现出巨大潜力,但受限于数据数量与多样性,其在不同参数设置和输入声音下的泛化能力仍不理想。为此,本文提出Solid State Bus-Comp,首个面向经典模拟压缩器SSL 500 G-Bus的大规模、多样化数据集。我们从剑桥多轨库手动收集175首未母带歌曲,以220种参数组合录制压缩音频,形成总计2528小时的数据集,涵盖丰富流派、乐器、节奏与调性。为促进数据集应用,我们对多种开源黑盒、灰盒模型及白盒插件进行了基准测试,并通过消融实验验证了数据多样性与数量对模型性能的提升效果。数据集与演示详见项目主页:https://www.yichenggu.com/SolidStateBusComp/。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Virtual Analog (VA) modeling aims to simulate the behavior of hardware circuits via algorithms to replicate their tone digitally. Dynamic Range Compressor (DRC) is an audio processing module that controls the dynamics of a track by reducing and amplifying the volumes of loud and quiet sounds, which is essential in music production. In recent years, neural-network-based VA modeling has shown great potential in producing high-fidelity models. However, due to the lack of data quantity and diversity, their generalization ability in different parameter settings and input sounds is still limited. To tackle this problem, we present Solid State Bus-Comp, the first large-scale and diverse dataset for modeling the classical VCA compressor -- SSL 500 G-Bus. Specifically, we manually collected 175 unmastered songs from the Cambridge Multitrack Library. We recorded the compressed audio in 220 parameter combinations, resulting in an extensive 2528-hour dataset with diverse genres, instruments, tempos, and keys. Moreover, to facilitate the use of our proposed dataset, we conducted benchmark experiments in various open-sourced black-box and grey-box models, as well as white-box plugins. We also conducted ablation studies in different data subsets to illustrate the effectiveness of the improved data diversity and quantity. The dataset and demos are on our project page: https://www.yichenggu.com/SolidStateBusComp/.
