Systems and methods for generating a mixed audio file in a digital audio workstation

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs, executable by the one or more processors, including instructions for:
• receiving, originating from a digital audio workstation, a source audio file in an electronic source audio file format and a target MIDI file in an electronic MIDI file format, the target MIDI file comprising digital representations for a series of notes;
• generating a series of sounds from the target MIDI file by applying a first audio style from a library of audio styles to the target MIDI file, each respective sound in the series of sounds corresponding to a respective note in the series of notes;
• segmenting the source audio file into a plurality of segments;
• for each sound in the series of sounds, matching, based at least in part on the first audio style, a segment from the plurality of segments to the respective sound based at least in part on a weighted combination of features identified for the respective sound;
• and
• generating an audio file in an electronic audio file format by replacing the matched segment corresponding to each sound with the series of sounds from the target MIDI file, wherein the audio file is provided to the digital audio workstation and is configured to be output by the digital audio workstation to one or more speakers.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing program instructions for causing an electronic device to perform a method of:

• receiving, originating from a digital audio workstation, a source audio file in an electronic source audio file format and a target MIDI file in an electronic MIDI file format, the target MIDI file comprising digital representations for a series of notes;
• generating a series of sounds from the target MIDI file by applying a first audio style from a library of audio styles to the target MIDI file, each respective sound in the series of sounds corresponding to a respective note in the series of notes;
• segmenting the source audio file into a plurality of segments;
• for each sound in the series of sounds, matching, based at least in part on the first audio style, a segment from the plurality of segments to the respective sound based at least in part on a weighted combination of features identified for the respective sound;
• and
• generating an audio file in an electronic audio file format by replacing the matched segment corresponding to each sound with the series of sounds from the target MIDI file, wherein the audio file is provided to the digital audio workstation and is configured to be output by the digital audio workstation to one or more speakers.
