| contents | Audio effects play an essential role in sound design. This research addresses the task of audio effect estimation, which aims to estimate the configuration of applied effects from a wet signal. Existing approaches to this problem can be categorized into predictive approaches, which use models pre-trained in a data-driven manner, and search-based approaches, which are based on wet signal reconstruction. In this study, we propose a novel approach that integrates these approaches: first, DNNs predict the dry signal and effect configuration, and then a search is performed based on wet signal reconstruction using these predictions. By estimating the dry signal in the prediction stage, it becomes possible to complement or improve the predictions using reconstruction similarity as an objective function. The experimental evaluation showed that methods based on the proposed approach outperformed the method solely based on the predictive approach. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the task division of predicting the effect type combination followed by the search-based estimation of order and parameters was the most effective across various metrics. |
