The folks at Google's Magenta project have unveiled a hardware interface for an algorithm-based synthesizer that uses a deep neural network to generate completely new sounds. Musicians drag a finger ...

Anyone who has ever played a game recently is well aware of the dramatic improvements made in visual realism. On the flip side, the lag in audio realism has hindered the potential for true ...

In context: Modeling sounds in a VR environment is extremely complex. For example, striking a wine glass at different points will produce different sounds. Likewise, a falling plate shattering is not ...

Sound design has been vastly simplified because of the innate unscripted nature of VR simulations, but a new algorithm from researchers at Stanford could finally change that. Share on Facebook (opens ...

It seems that there are few jobs left that computers can’t edge into somehow. A US team has got a computer to match sounds with silent video to an impressively efficient degree. It’s a complicated ...
