Bridging Music Using Sound-Effect Insertion

In this article, the authors offer a general overview of audio music concatenation, then deliberate on how to connect not-so-coherent music clips in response to the rising awareness of user-preference in music recomposition. In particular, they introduce sound-effect insertion into the proposed bridging process to make the transition natural and euphonious. To systematically verify the feasibility of the proposed music concatenation methods, they conducted specifically designed experiments to collect subjective opinions and reduce the cognitive loads of the participants. The results indicate that using suitable sound effects greatly enhances the listening experiences among various subjects.
