AuraLuxMuse: Adaptive Fusion Modeling for Aesthetic Stage Lighting Design with Music and Expert Guidance

AuraLuxMuse is a system that automates aesthetic stage lighting design by integrating expert knowledge, representation learning, and preference-adaptive modeling. It encodes music and professional cue sequences into a shared retrieval space, estimates cue-event density, and retargets fixture commands to the stage, providing editable cues for designers. The system features Lighting‑Aligned Music Pretraining (LAMP) for audio‑lighting alignment and Preference‑Adaptive Mixture of Experts (PAMoE) for designer‑intent‑driven cue adaptation, and is evaluated using the new Musilux dataset and both virtual and professional labs.

OmniDance: Multimodal Driven Dance Video Generation with Large-scale Internet Data

Music-driven dance video generation aims to synthesize expressive human motion that is temporally aligned with music while maintaining high visual fidelity. Despite recent progress, existing methods still face two key limitations: the lack of large-scale, high-quality dance video datasets, and the absence of principled frameworks for integrating music as a complementary conditioning signal into Video Generation Foundation Models.

Agentic Music Post-Production

The paper introduces MixAgent, an agentic pipeline for music post‑production that emulates audio engineers’ workflow to create interpretable and editable mixing plans guided by a reference song. It employs a grouping agent to cluster related tracks, a planning agent to select and order audio effects, and a detector‑critic pair to refine the mix by identifying needed corrections and proposing parameter adjustments. The authors also present MixCritic, a dataset of 45,657 repair critiques, and demonstrate that supervised fine‑tuning followed by preference optimization improves mix quality, achieving a 19% error reduction on MedleyDB and outperforming several large language models in human listening tests.

Pianist Transformer: Towards Expressive Piano Performance Rendering via Scalable Self-Supervised Pre-Training

arXiv:2512. 02652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing methods for expressive music performance rendering, a conditional generation task that aims to generate a human-like performance from a symbolic score, rely on supervised learning over small labeled datasets, which limits scaling of both data volume and model size, despite the availability of vast unlabeled music, as in vision and language.

A Production-Oriented Framework for Evaluation of SFX Generation

arXiv:2607. 09973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial sound design requires audio generation systems that not only produce realistic audio, but also preserve the perceptual identity of a reference, support controllable variation, and remain efficient for practical workflows.
