Roadie Coach is the new member of the family of Band Industries. It is scheduled to be released On January 25th, 2022.
Given a recording from a piezoelectric microphone attached to the Roadie Coach and a regular mobile-phone microphone, the goal is to isolate the cleanest possible vocals of the audio recorded on both microphones. We develop new techniques where the recordings from the regular and piezoelectric mics are fused to better isolate the vocals. Such a clean-up process could be extended to various other applications such as online conferencing, music learning using applications running on smart devices and livestreaming.

The project may be considered as falling in the general area of
echo-cancellation. Echo-cancellation deals with removing a known signal from a
recorded one after possibly adjusting for delay and attenuation.
Echo-cancellation is classically used in all video conferencing platforms and is
one of the most common challenges in digital signal processing.
In addition to these classical echo-cancellation techniques, the project deals with two microphones of different characteristics, in addition to changing conditions (Resonance).
