• Title: EMVD dataset: a dataset of extreme vocal distortion techniques used in heavy metal
• Authors: Modan Tailleur, Julien Pinquier, Laurent Millot, Corsin Vogel, Mathieu Lagrange,
• Abstract summary: The dataset consists of 760 audio excerpts of 1 second to 30 seconds long, totaling about 100 min of audio material. The distortion taxonomy within this dataset encompasses four distinct distortion techniques and three vocal effects. Performance of a state-of-the-art deep learning model is evaluated for two different classification tasks related to vocal techniques.

• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the Extreme Metal Vocals Dataset, which comprises a collection of recordings of extreme vocal techniques performed within the realm of heavy metal music. The dataset consists of 760 audio excerpts of 1 second to 30 seconds long, totaling about 100 min of audio material, roughly composed of 60 minutes of distorted voices and 40 minutes of clear voice recordings. These vocal recordings are from 27 different singers and are provided without accompanying musical instruments or post-processing effects. The distortion taxonomy within this dataset encompasses four distinct distortion techniques and three vocal effects, all performed in different pitch ranges. Performance of a state-of-the-art deep learning model is evaluated for two different classification tasks related to vocal techniques, demonstrating the potential of this resource for the audio processing community.

  This work proposes a melody-unsupervised multi-speaker pre-training method to enhance the vocal range of the single-speaker. It is the first to introduce a differentiable duration regulator to improve the rhythm naturalness of the synthesized voice. Experimental results verify that the proposed SVS system outperforms the baseline on both sound quality and naturalness.

  Acoustic matching aims to re-synthesize an audio clip to sound as if it were recorded in a target acoustic environment. We propose a self-supervised approach to visual acoustic matching where training samples include only the target scene image and audio. Our approach jointly learns to disentangle room acoustics and re-synthesize audio into the target environment, via a conditional GAN framework and a novel metric.
