Intelligent Music Production / Edition 1

by Brecht De Man, Ryan Stables, Joshua D. Reiss

Overview

Intelligent Music Production presents the state of the art in approaches, methodologies and systems from the emerging field of automation in music mixing and mastering. This book collects the relevant works in the domain of innovation in music production, and orders them in a way that outlines the way forward: first, covering our knowledge of the music production processes; then by reviewing the methodologies in classification, data collection and perceptual evaluation; and finally by presenting recent advances on introducing intelligence in audio effects, sound engineering processes and music production interfaces.

Intelligent Music Production is a comprehensive guide, providing an introductory read for beginners, as well as a crucial reference point for experienced researchers, producers, engineers and developers.

Editorial Reviews

"Intelligent Music Production focuses on the very timely topic of automatic mixing of audio signals. With many clear figures and surprisingly few mathematical formulas, this book explains how artificial intelligence can help producers and musicians make their recordings sound great – automatically."

Vesa Välimäki (Professor of Audio Signal Processing), Aalto University, Acoustics Lab, Espoo, Finland
