SignalTrain LA2A Dataset

LA-2A Compressor data to accompany the paper "SignalTrain: Profiling Audio Compressors with Deep Neural Networks," https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.11928

Accompanying computer code: https://github.com/drscotthawley/signaltrain

A collection of recorded data from an analog Teletronix LA-2A opto-electronic compressor, for various settings of the Peak Reduction knob. Other knobs were kept constant.

Audio samples present in these files are either 'randomly generated', or downloaded audio clips with Create Commons licenses, or are property of Scott Hawley freely distributed as part of this dataset.

Data taken by Ben Colburn, supervised by Scott Hawley
