LiveBand: Live Accompaniment Generation in the Audio Domain 文章

arXiv:2606.03803v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present LiveBand, a real-time system that generates high-fidelity music accompaniments to live audio input, respecting strict causal constraints. Our method trains a causal transformer generator in the continuous latent space of a pre-trained causal audio autoencoder, using adversarial sequence-level supervision from a discriminator. At each timestep, the generator receives only the causally available mix context and Gaussian noise, and predicts accompaniment latents without access to future mix frames or ground-truth target latents. Training is performed in a single parallel forward pass under causal masking, while streaming inference proceeds autoregressively with a rolling attention state. The model's training and inference computations are matched by design, eliminating teacher forcing and the associated exposure bias.
