评估八款开源音乐生成系统在真实创作流程中的表现
Workflow-Based Evaluation of Music Generation Systems
- 基于实际音乐制作流程设计混合评估框架
- 系统多为辅助工具,难维持主题与结构连贯性
- 适合关注AI协作创作的音乐人与研究者
本研究通过考察八款开源音乐生成系统,探索其在当代音乐制作工作流中的表现。评估框架结合技术分析与实际实验,针对音乐创作中迭代、非线性的特点设计评价标准。采用单评估者初步方法,融合定性分析形成假设,并通过定量指标验证。所选系统涵盖符号化与音频基音乐生成,覆盖作曲、编排与音色设计任务。研究揭示现有系统主要作为补充工具,难以保持主题与结构连贯性,凸显人类在情感深度与复杂决策任务中的不可替代性。研究提出一个考虑创作迭代特性的结构化评估框架,识别后续全面评估需改进的方法,并确定了可行的AI协作集成方向。研究提供实证依据,指导未来领域发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study presents an exploratory evaluation of Music Generation Systems (MGS) within contemporary music production workflows by examining eight open-source systems. The evaluation framework combines technical insights with practical experimentation through criteria specifically designed to investigate the practical and creative affordances of the systems within the iterative, non-linear nature of music production. Employing a single-evaluator methodology as a preliminary phase, this research adopts a mixed approach utilizing qualitative methods to form hypotheses subsequently assessed through quantitative metrics. The selected systems represent architectural diversity across both symbolic and audio-based music generation approaches, spanning composition, arrangement, and sound design tasks. The investigation addresses limitations of current MGS in music production, challenges and opportunities for workflow integration, and development potential as collaborative tools while maintaining artistic authenticity. Findings reveal these systems function primarily as complementary tools enhancing rather than replacing human expertise. They exhibit limitations in maintaining thematic and structural coherence that emphasize the indispensable role of human creativity in tasks demanding emotional depth and complex decision-making. This study contributes a structured evaluation framework that considers the iterative nature of music creation. It identifies methodological refinements necessary for subsequent comprehensive evaluations and determines viable areas for AI integration as collaborative tools in creative workflows. The research provides empirically-grounded insights to guide future development in the field.
