Researchers have developed Clean2FX, a system for transforming clean guitar audio into effected versions using label-conditioned modeling. The study evaluates four neural network approaches, including VAEs and U-Nets, comparing their performance on spectrogram-based transformations. U-Net models demonstrated superior results, particularly for distortion effects, while delay and reverb effects showed less improvement in audio distance metrics despite reduced spectral errors. The system's ability to respond to specific effect labels was also validated. AI
IMPACT This research could lead to new tools for musicians and audio engineers, enabling more flexible and controllable audio effect generation.
