FM Radio Super Resolution |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a model designed to upscale recordings of FM radio. It was created using the Aero architecture with a modified version of the "Aero" project: |
|
|
|
|
|
* Modified Project: https://github.com/pokepress/aero |
|
|
* Original: https://github.com/slp-rl/aero |
|
|
|
|
|
Usage: |
|
|
1. Check out and install the modified version of the Aero project and put the checkpoint file in the working directory. |
|
|
2. If needed, convert the audio recordinng to 44.1 khz stereo. |
|
|
3. Call the new project with: |
|
|
|
|
|
python predict.py experiment=aero_441-441 +filename="PATH_TO_AUDIO_FILE" +output="PATH_TO_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY" checkpoint_file="PATH_TO_CHECKPOINT_FILE" |
|
|
|
|
|
The model should be able to: |
|
|
* Reduce stereo hiss |
|
|
* Reduce certain kinds of static/interference |
|
|
* Reduce 19khz stereo pilot |
|
|
* Reduce overly warm bass frequencies (boost them 3 or so dB if you miss them) |
|
|
* Restore lost high & low frequencies (generally only up to 16khz since most training data is MP3-based) |
|
|
|
|
|
Things to be aware of: |
|
|
* The model isn't currently great at removing static from the mono (L+R) channel, as those have been dificult to reproduce using the equipment I have. |
|
|
* The "predict" script will normalize the audio after running inference on the whole file, so it likely will be at a different volume than the source track. |
|
|
* The model was trained from audio digitized directly off the radios used, but should work decently for recordings digitized from cassette tapes, etc. |
