Tech Papers 2025: This paper describes work undertaken as part of the AQUA project funded by InnovateUK to address shortfalls in automated audio QC processes with an automated software solution for both production and distribution of audio content on premises or in the cloud.
Abstract
For many years the broadcast industry has been relying on limited and manual quality control (QC) processes for audio. Unlike for video where some automated solutions exist there has not been much work in automated audio QC processes. Any audio functionality that does exist in audio QC is typically limited to basic audio attributes such as loudness or audio silence detection with very little attention given to ...
