Foley Sound Synthesis at the DCASE 2023 Challenge

Understand

The addition of Foley sound effects during post-production is a common technique used to enhance the perceived acoustic properties of multimedia content.

• Traditionally, Foley sound has been produced by human Foley artists, which involves manual recording and mixing of sound.
• However, recent advances in sound synthesis and generative models have generated interest in machine-assisted or automatic Foley synthesis techniques.
• To promote further research in this area, we have organized a challenge in DCASE 2023: Task 7 - Foley Sound Synthesis.
