This is niche and dorky, but as someone who works predominately with audio, I'm really looking forward to the restorative programs and plug-ins that are hopefully around the corner.
There's already been some great improvements in the last few years that make my life a lot easier for sure, but they fall down in certain ways, especially where music is involved.
I expect in 5 or more years we should be able to properly restore and improve old film/tv audio, archive recordings, tape, optical and wire etc.

Honest questions: why do these things need improving? If they're archived properly already, why "improve" them? If they're not archived properly already, what is wrong with current archival protocols? I guess I am just highly suspicious of AI "improving" things to the point of totally denuding them of their original context, which is part of what makes them what they are.
― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Sunday, 24 March 2024 15:43 (four days ago) link
Maybe I'm in over my head here, but surely archiving and restoration are two separate, though related, concerns? I took that post to mean restoring degraded audio in music, film, etc.
This admitidely gives me some knee jerk concerns as the line between restoration and messing-with is notoriously difficult to trace in image (cf complaint about the "yellow" nature of a lot of the Cinemateca di Bologna restorations of classic cinema) and I'd assume audio as well, but tbf this is an eternal concern that predates AI.

i think that’s otm. i won’t speak for maresn3st but AI has been used in video compression (where information is necessarily lost to enable efficient storage or carriage) for some time. it is in effect restoring lost information by analysing the frames around it and filling in information. at least in part it’s how we’re able to watch high quality video. (there are countless examples like this that make the world go round, load balancing mobile phone mast data loads for example) - i’m just selecting one in my area.

I'm not sure I understand your post, Fizzles— I would frankly rather watch a film as it would have appeared fifty years ago than in a "gloriously restored version." Maybe I'm in the minority there, but I am often left completely cold by such restorative efforts.
― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Sunday, 24 March 2024 16:08 (four days ago) link
sorry i wasn’t being very clear about the context. in order to store, transfer and stream media, it’s necessary to compress it, which means deliberately losing information or data from the originally produced version. this is in a sense a degradation of the media. in order to avoid this degradation being visible to the viewer, AI (and other algorithmic processes) are used to “fill in” the gaps. it’s extremely refined and sophisticated - invisible to audiences. it is worth noting that some broadcasters don’t like having compression before a hand off. that’s mainly because there will be subsequent conversion or information-loss processes depending on where it’s being distributed or stored. the more you do it, the harder it is to reconstitute. i was using this example as an analogy for historically degraded media.
― Fizzles, Sunday, 24 March 2024 16:20 (four days ago) link
my point is that we use AI to reconstitute media all the time. this doesn’t invalidate your point, which i think daniel is also saying, which is that questions of restoration and appreciating the degraded form etc

I would frankly rather watch a film as it would have appeared fifty years ago than in a "gloriously restored version."
The vast majority of film restoration is aimed exactly at making it possible to watch a film as it would have appeared fifty years ago - and this is necessary because film stock degrades. I think you're misreading "restoration" here to always mean stuff like adding CGI in or Lucas messing with his old Star Wars films.

I wonder how much AI is being used in the guerrilla nerd efforts to make 4k copies of the original theatrical releases. Some of them definitely used AI upscaling from the laserdiscs, but the other nerds are hardcore in procuring buried cinema prints and scanning them frame-by-frame.

Heya, so quite a lot of my work is spent tidying up poorly recorded audio (or degenerated/archive audio) to make it more discernable and pleasing, it is mostly spoken word.
To address your point Table, I think the only kind of media that might *need* to be restored using machine learning/AI/neural network software would be something that has degenerated past the point of being listenable or was recorded with faulty equipment or involved some kind of operator error. It may have been poorly archived, or it could perhaps have been stored correctly but still be substandard quality.
There will surely be a level of futzing around by nerds with things in the future, same as we're experiencing with film and TV images.
This might be somewhat dry so apologies in advance, but one kind of plug-in that I use a lot right now builds back in lost, or never captured, frequencies to an audio clip (while cleaning up background noise and some other balancing issues) the AI component definitely has a ways to go before being a magic bullet solution, you can easily end up giving someone a wicked lisp or making them sound robotic and weird.
It's also not good with musical elements, but I'm sure this will get better in a few years, I'm just keen to find out how much more we can improve these things.
What I was getting at with my post was the potential to improve, for instance, an old movie made in the 1930s that might have a very bad quality optical soundtrack.
It wouldn't be equivalent to a modern recording, but you could subtly build in low and high frequencies that would smooth the overall sound out and improve the listening experience, same with any archival material really, old radio recordings, historical documents, forensics etc.
Here is a link to a before and after clip to demonstrate, as you can hear, it's still very basic, but it was almost impossible to do to this level even a few years ago - https://we.tl/t-b7Q6juy3ds
― Maresn3st, Sunday, 24 March 2024 18:05 (four days ago) link
I appreciate that, Maresn3st. I guess that some of what we're talking about, and what that clip demonstrates, is an idea of "integrity." I don't know much about this stuff, so while I agree that the adapted version is more clear, I was left wondering: what was the motoric noise in the first clip? Where was the original recording made, and in what context? If such a recording is clear enough to be transcribed, which the example you give is, then why does it need to be "cleaned up," so to speak? Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment or something, but I think that the weird motoric rumbling in the original is *part* of the context of the recording— why get rid of it?

i was watching a film from '39 over the weekend and the things that needed doing to it were a) adjusting the position of all the frames so there was less jitter and b) fixing the slight changes of brightness in each frame. and i think this is the kind of thing that could be done by an algorithm (and neither of which would really destroy any data from the original the way, say, colourisation does)
― koogs, Sunday, 24 March 2024 20:20 (four days ago) link
XP - In the context of my work, very simply to make it easier to hear and sometimes to help bed it into something like a radio documentary or podcast.
In this instance you could argue that it doesn't have to be cleaned up, sure. However, for me, static background noise or artefacts of a primitive recording process aren't necessarily integral or precious, and in that small clip you can discern more of the voices in the background that were masked by noise.
It was an outdoor wartime recording of Neville Chamberlain, at an airfield iirc.
― Maresn3st, Sunday, 24 March 2024 20:53 (four days ago) link
Got it, thanks!
I think that what I worry about isn't necessarily what you're point to or doing, which makes sense to me. What I worry about is that these cleaned up versions will become the "standard" versions by which certain events are known or available in the archive, which to my mind goes against the spirit of a lot of archival practices. That is, the adapted version has its functionality that is important, and the original has its functionality that is important, but I worry that the two will become confused, or even that the latter will be lost and discarded.
― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Sunday, 24 March 2024 21:21 (four days ago) link
Absolutely yeah, I know my view is a little basic I guess because it's ultimately threaded into my work practices.
But I understand how future technology will affect the integrity of archive media, we already have to be careful with AI assist software as it can very easily tip the balance and make a voice sound like a different person, heck I've even heard it sneak in extra syllables in more extreme cases.
On the upside, I think what the people who write this software are reaching for is aligned with what Daniel was talking about upthread, the restorative aspect, but yeah, it may tip over into something else as archive media becomes ever more malleable.
