Abstract

Time Series Forecasting (TSF) is used in astronomy, geology, weather forecasting, and finance to name a few. Recent research [1] has shown that, combined with Machine Learning (ML) techniques, TSF can be applied successfully for short-term predictions of music signals. We present here an application of this approach for predicting audio level changes of music and appropriate Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). This ML-based look ahead prediction of audio level allows to apply compression just-in-time, avoiding latency and attack/release time constants, which are proper to traditional DRC and challenging to tune.
