Researchers have developed a new framework for evaluating sound effects (SFX) generation systems, addressing the need for realistic audio that also maintains perceptual identity and allows for controllable variation. The framework introduces a two-stage protocol, including a reference-guided audio-to-audio variation task and capability-specific analyses for operations like morphing and inpainting. This approach combines objective metrics with human studies to reveal trade-offs between different generation methods, with AudioX showing a strong balance between reference alignment and diversity in SFX morphing.
