5 out of 7 South Korean Music Streaming Platforms Chose Gaudio Lab

SEOUL, South Korea, June 8, 2023 – 5 out of 7 streaming platforms in South Korea have adopted Gaudio Lab’s technology. With world-class spatial audio and AI audio technology, Gaudio Lab powers most of South Korea’s leading music streaming platforms, including Melon, Naver VIBE, SK Telecom FLO, Kakao Music, and NHN Bugs. The company has also won two CES 2023 Innovation Awards in recognition of its technological excellence that solves precise existing pain points in streaming market.

Each platform applies various technologies from Gaudio Lab, including ▲Loudness Normalization, ▲AI Text Sync(GTS: Gaudio Text Sync), ▲Spatial Audio, etc.

Loudness Normalization protects users from hearing loss and provides a comfortable listening experience by reducing the loudness variance. The technology has even been officially recognized as a standard by the CTA/ANSI.

Gaudio Text Sync (GTS) is a solution which automatically synchronizes lyrics and music within 5 seconds for a song with the world's most advanced AI source separation technology. Thanks to Gaudio Lab’s lightning fast and accurate AI, the manual work of syncing lyrics in real-time has been replaced by a rapid and automated service. Since South Korea is one of the fastest adopters of real-time lyrics viewing, the demand for the solution has been high and pressing.

Not to mention, Gaudio Lab provides spatial audio solution, which offers lifelike immersive 3D sound experience in users’ earbuds. The solution has already been popular in Korea and can be applied to not only music streaming services, but live performance streams, as well. In fact, Gaudio Lab is also known as the inventor of the global standards (ex. the ISO/IEC MPEG-H Audio Standard, CTA, ANSI, etc.).

On June 1st, Gaudio Lab won the second prize at the most prestigious AI Challenge event in audio domain organized by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)'s, known as the DCASE Challenge, in Task 7 "Foley Sound Synthesis”. Gaudio Lab has successfully generated sounds from text and images, and soon will be able to automatically generate sounds by just entering videos. Gaudio Lab is excelling and leading the field of generative sound AI and the company set out to continuously keep releasing better Generative Sound AI technology and solutions.

Gaudio Lab to display its world’s best AI audio technology at CES 2023

Gaudio Lab to display its world’s best AI audio technology at CES 2023 Press Release = Dec 20, 2022, Seoul Gaudio Lab announces it will showcase its future-leading AI audio technology at CES 2023, which will take place in early January next year. The AI audio technology company is slated to run a booth at KOTRA(Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency)’s integrated pavilion in Eureka Park, called a debut venue for new technologies, to provide diverse programs visitors are allowed to have hands-on experiences of its world’s best sound source separation technology and spatial audio technology, which won the CES Innovation awards. Sound source separation is the technology that extracts a particular source from the audio signal mixed with multiple factors. An excellent example of this technology is extracting a sound of a single instrument from an ensemble piece or removing the voice from a song to make an accompaniment. Gaudio Lab’s source separation technology is recognized as the world’s best in terms of separation, sound quality, and low computational comlexity. Recently, Gaudio Lab has gained attention for providing technological support to JTBC TV’s program called “Hidden Singer 7.” The company successfully extracted the late famous Korean singer Hyun-sik Kim’s voice from the sound source. Gaudio Lab’s AI technology enables not only to separate the accompaniment and voices from the source but also clearly separate each different element, such as drum, piano, and vocal, etc. They also have received favorable market responses. Gaudio Lab opens this technology for free on its website, which sees daily users exceeding 10,000. Gaudio Lab says that it will introduce the excellence of its technologies worldwide via the exhibition at CES 2023. “We again put Gaudio Lab’s technology on the global stage after our global march to conquer Hollywood’s VR sound market in 2017. As Web 3.0 and metaverse were newly added to additional topics of CES 2023, it will be an opportunity for Gaudio Lab to highlight its latest sound technology which is crucial to the metaverse environment,” said Henney Oh, CEO of Gaudio Lab. Meanwhile, Gaudio Lab won two CES 2023 Innovation awards with Loudness Management 1 (LM1) and Gaudio Spatial Audio (GSA), proving its technological prowess that leads the global audio industry. Crowdworks, a leading South Korean data platform for artificial intelligence (AI), will be introducing its AI data solutions along with the HR management system specialized in data annotation and digital platform at CES 2023 held in Las Vegas Convention Center from January 5th to 8th. separation is the technology that extracts a particular source from the audio signal mixed with multiple factors.

[Interview] "In 5~10 years, most of the movie sound will be Gaudiolab's work."

(2023-07-07) "In 5~10 years, most of the movie sound will be Gaudiolab's work." Gaudio Lab was interviewed by AI Times about FALL-E, a sound-generating AI. Sound generation AI generates sounds using text prompts, similar to image generation AI. The underlying principle follows the diffusion method used by image generation AI, refining meaningful signals from white noise. Check out the interview below to learn more about where GaudioLab's Generative AI is headed!
