• Automatic sound programming: first results

   · 13 Jan 2018

  This post presents early results for the Secret Sauce project. We show that it is possible to predict guitar effects accurately with high level audio features and recurrent neural nets, but predicting synthesizer patches is more challenging.

• Automatic sound programming: datasets

   · 01 Jan 2018

  The aim of the Secret Sauce project is to automatically reverse engineer studio sounds, with a focus on guitar effects and synthesizers. Ultimately, we wish to answer the question Wow, how did they make that sound?!. This post presents the task and makes the datasets available for whoever would like to try.
