🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the challenge of long-form, controllable audio generation in complex scenes—requiring coordinated synthesis of speech, sound effects, music, temporal structure, and post-production processing—by proposing Audio-Oscar, the first multi-agent collaborative framework for this task. Audio-Oscar employs specialized agents responsible for character modeling, speech synthesis, fine-grained timeline planning, model orchestration, non-speech audio generation, and post-processing, integrated within a feedback-driven optimization loop. To facilitate systematic evaluation, we also introduce ASG-Bench, the first audio scene generation benchmark with temporal annotations. Experimental results demonstrate that Audio-Oscar significantly outperforms existing approaches in both content accuracy and temporal coherence.
📝 Abstract
In recent years, audio generation has made significant progress in tasks such as text-to-speech (TTS), text-to-audio (TTA) and text-to-music (TTM). However, generating long-form and controllable audio from complex audio scene descriptions remains a significant challenge, as such scenes often require coordinated speech, sound effects, music, songs, temporal structure, and post-production. In this work, we introduce \textbf{Audio-Oscar}, a multi-agent framework for generating audio from complex descriptions. Audio-Oscar coordinates a set of specialist agents, each responsible for a different aspect of the audio scene, including character modeling and voice design, speech generation, fine-grained timeline planning, model selection, non-speech generation, and audio post-production. Audio-Oscar further incorporates feedback-driven refinement. In addition, to address the lack of suitable benchmarks for evaluating audio generation from complex audio scene descriptions, we construct \textbf{ASG-Bench}, an Audio Scene Generation Benchmark containing both scene descriptions paired with reference audio and text-only scene descriptions. Each scene is annotated with target audio events and temporal statements to evaluate whether the generated audio faithfully realizes the required scene content and temporal structure. Experimental results show that Audio-Oscar can effectively generate audio that matches complex scene descriptions. Project samples are available at https://audiooscar.github.io/.
