Spot, Separate, and Enhance: Fully Generative Approach for Audio Mixing

arXiv:2609.29169v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Spot, Separate, and Enhance (SSE), the first multimodal, user-guided generative model for audio remixing and enhancement. SSE enhances video content by rebalancing the audio, removing unwanted audio sources, and reducing reverberation, guided by both video and textual descriptions. To support its training and evaluation, we propose DegradedMix, a new dataset built on the audio remixing benchmark MuddyMix. We also adopt evaluation metrics from generative modeling, which better capture the creative nature of remixing than standard reconstruction-based metrics. SSE outperforms existing baselines in both controllability and remixing quality, as shown by extensive experiments. Project page: https://sse-ai.notion.site
