调研声音设计师对AI工具的实际使用需求与痛点。
An investigation of AI integration in sound designer workflows and experiences
- 通过76人问卷与20人访谈，分析从业者对AI工具的真实反馈。
- 当前AI在快消媒体中表现尚可，但缺乏高端影视叙事能力。
- 设计师更倾向任务导向的辅助工具，而非全自动生成系统。
人工智能正越来越多地融入专业音频制作流程，但开发者提供的工具与实际声音设计师的需求之间仍存在差距。本文通过混合方法研究，对76名从业者进行问卷调查，并对20位行业专业人士开展半结构化访谈。采用描述性统计与主题分析法挖掘数据模式，提炼出五个核心主题：情境、工作流、潜力、风险与合理使用。研究发现，现有AI工具在快节奏内容场景下表现尚可，但在电影、沉浸式体验等高要求声效设计中缺乏叙事深度。从业者更偏好用于音频修复和音效库管理等具体任务的辅助型工具，而非端到端生成系统。本研究从声音设计师视角呈现当前领域现状，为声学技术开发者提供实用建议，推动更具针对性的AI工具研发。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being integrated into professional audio production workflows, yet a gap persists between the tools developers produce and the requirements of practising sound designers. This paper investigates this gap through a mixed-methods study comprising a survey of 76 practitioners and follow-up semi-structured interviews with 20 industry professionals. Results were analysed using descriptive statistical analysis and thematic analysis to identify patterns across both datasets. Five themes emerged from our analysis: Context, Workflow, Potential, Risks, and Right Use. Our work indicates that current AI tools perform adequately in fast-consumption media contexts but lack the narrative sophistication required for high-end sound design (films, immersive experiences etc). Practitioners demonstrate a preference for assistive, task-specific applications, particularly in audio restoration and library management, over end-to-end generative systems. This work contributes to the on-going discussion on the use of AI and AI-enhanced tools in the creative industries. We report on the current status of the field from the point of view of sound designers and creative audio practitioners, and offer a set of recommendation for sound technologist and developers based on our findings to guide the development of more informed AI tools for sound design.
