Audio Part Label Selection for Flexible Music Source Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing audio devices and applications lack high operability and flexibility in controlling the separation process of audio data into multiple parts, particularly in DAW and DTM systems.
Innovation Solution
An audio device with modules for displaying labels, acquiring user operations, and selecting parts for separation, allowing user interaction and control over the separation process, including outputting selected information to execute or edit the separation process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated separation process is implemented, then productivity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to lack of user control
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts between automated operation and manual control based on user needs. The UI allows users to switch between viewing all detected parts and selectively viewing only selected parts, enabling flexible control over the automation level without sacrificing separation efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical user interface acts as an intermediary between the automated separation process and the user. It provides visual feedback through labels and selection mechanisms, allowing users to control and adjust the automated process while maintaining productivity.
2Measurement precision
If all detected parts are displayed, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into different states: showing all detected parts with labels, or showing only selected parts. This segmentation allows the system to present comprehensive information when needed while simplifying the view during normal operation, reducing perceived complexity without sacrificing detection precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The display dynamically changes between comprehensive view (all parts with labels) and simplified view (only selected parts) based on user selection state. This dynamic adaptation reduces UI complexity while maintaining the capability to display precise detection results when required.
3Productivity
If separation process is executed without user selection, then productivity is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection and labeling of all separable parts before execution. Users can review and select specific parts before the separation process runs, ensuring precision while maintaining productivity through efficient pre-processing and batch execution capabilities.
