动态范围压缩器的行为由输入电平变化时的时变增益决定。然而,现有数据集中的音轨输入输出难以分离出增益衰减信号,导致评估成为病态逆问题。传统方法依赖代理指标,但受模拟处理和采集引入的次要效应影响,即使听感无异,也可能误判模型表现。本文提出一种新评估方式:将模型生成的增益衰减信号与硬件实测的控制电压信号直接对比。为验证该指标有效性,训练了一个灰箱模型,损失函数基于控制信号计算,并与两个使用常见代理损失的模型对比。结果表明,仅用代理损失训练的模型在控制轨迹上明显落后,而波形指标却无法区分它们。为支持后续研究,本文发布了包含音频输出和同步采集的控制电压信号的固态逻辑母线压缩器数据集(Solid State Logic bus compressor dataset)。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The quantity that defines the behavior of a dynamic range compressor is the time-varying gain applied to the signal as a function of the input level. However, models of these devices are typically evaluated using proxy metrics because isolating the gain reduction signal from the audio input-output data included in existing datasets creates an ill-conditioned inverse problem. It is unclear how accurately these metrics describe the behavior the model is tasked with emulating, particularly as waveform-based metrics can be influenced by secondary effects introduced by analog processing and capture, even when those effects are inaudible. We investigate a method of evaluation in which the gain-reduction signal produced by a model is measured directly against a gain-reduction control voltage signal produced by the hardware. To evaluate the efficacy of this metric as a learning objective, a gray-box model is trained using loss computed directly over the gain control signals alongside two models trained using common proxy losses. The models trained using proxy losses did not achieve parity with models trained directly on the gain control signal when evaluated with respect to the underlying control trajectory, and the waveform-domain metrics assigned similar errors to models that were clearly separated by the direct metric. To facilitate further exploration of this method of evaluation, we present a Solid State Logic bus compressor dataset that includes the gain control voltage signal captured alongside the audio output.
