Abstract

Enhancing the sound quality of historical music recordings is a long-standing problem. This paper presents a novel denoising method based on a fully-convolutional deep neural network. A two-stage U-Net model architecture is designed to model and suppress the degradations with high fidelity. The method processes the time-frequency representation of audio, and is trained using realistic noisy data to jointly remove hiss, clicks, thumps, and other common additive disturbances from old analog discs. The proposed model outperforms previous methods in both objective and subjective metrics. The results of a formal blind listening test show that the method can denoise real gramophone recordings with an excellent quality. This study shows the importance of realistic training data and the power of deep learning in audio restoration.

Requirements

You will need at least python 3.7 and CUDA 10.1 if you want to use GPU. See requirements.txt for the required package versions.

To install the environment through anaconda, follow the instructions:

conda env update -f environment.yml
conda activate historical_denoiser

Denoising Recordings

Run the following commands to clone the repository and install the pretrained weights of the two-stage U-Net model:

git clone https://github.com/eloimoliner/denoising-historical-recordings.git
cd denoising-historical-recordings
wget https://github.com/eloimoliner/denoising-historical-recordings/releases/download/v0.0/checkpoint.zip
unzip checkpoint.zip /experiments/trained_model/

If the environment is installed correctly, you can denoise an audio file by running:

bash inference.sh "file name"

A ".wav" file with the denoised version, as well as the residual noise and the original signal in "mono", will be generated in the same directory as the input file.

    Will it work in Windows without CUDA?

    Hello, The readme says: "You will need at least python 3.7 and CUDA 10.1 if you want to use GPU."

    Unfortunately, my first attempt to run it in Windows without CUDA-supporting VGA failed. There is really no separate environment file for CPU-only? Is it possible to make it work without massive changes to the code?

  • installation without conda

    installation without conda

    Hi,

    could you leave some hints about how to install this without conda? Your readme appears to be very much specified to this one case. Also it seems that you develop under linux so you use bash to execute. Maybe here a hint for win- users would be cool too.

    I am just trying to get this to run under windows and so far had no success. I will update if I get further. All the best!

    strange tensorflow version in requirements.txt

    Hi,

    when running python -m pip install tensorflow==2.3.0 as indicated in your requirements file, I get

    ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==2.3.0 (from versions: 2.5.0rc0, 2.5.0rc1, 2.5.0rc2, 2.5.0rc3, 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.6.0rc0, 2.6.0rc1, 2.6.0rc2, 2.6.0, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.7.0rc0, 2.7.0rc1, 2.7.0, 2.8.0rc0) ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow==2.3.0

    It seems this version isn't even supported by pip anymore. Upgrade to 2.5.0?

    The same is true for scipy==1.4.1. Not sure about which version to take there.

  • Update inference.sh

    Update inference.sh

    Small change to allow spaces in file names. Bash expands the variable $1 correctly even if it is in double quotes, python receives a single argument and not (if there are spaces) multiple arguments.
