AnyEdit edits speech and singing while aiming to preserve the acoustic environment surrounding the original voice.
Key results
Benchmark covers speech and singing in two languages across clean, simulated, and real-world conditions.
Same-speaker Chinese and English speech pairs used to train the editing model.
Prosody-token match rate after teacher-student distillation, up from 0.6081.
Parameter count for the unified speech-and-singing editing framework.
AnyEdit result, compared with 13.321 for Vevo2.
F0 correlation with unmodified-area-aware supervision; without it, the score was 0.815.
What the paper found
AnyEdit edits speech and singing without separating vocals from their real-world background. It splits the task into two stages: a noise-robust prosody tokenizer and instruction-guided autoregressive editor predict the revised words, lyrics, and prosody, then a flow-matching acoustic model renders them using the original recording as context, preserving speaker timbre, noise, reverberation, and music. The tokenizer uses teacher-student distillation, raising prosody-token match from 0.6081 to 0.7037; unmodified-area-aware supervision limits prosody drift, while direct preference optimization uses real singing pairs aligned with Chromagram-DTW. The system was initialized from Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct and totals 1.1B parameters. On AnyEditBench, which contains 600 items across speech and singing, English and Chinese, and clean, simulated, and in-the-wild audio, it outperformed unified baselines including Vevo2, Step-Audio-EditX, and Xiaomi’s MiMo-Audio on key measures of editing and background preservation. At 0 dB SNR, its speech SNR error was 3.368, compared with 13.321 for Vevo2; in unedited speech regions, its F0 correlation reached 0.963, versus 0.815 without the proposed supervision. Training data included 1.2M same-speaker speech pairs, supporting localized insertion, deletion, and substitution without a separation-and-remix pipeline.
Original abstract
We present AnyEdit, a unified, separation-free framework for speech and singing voice editing that preserves real-world acoustic environments, including noise, reverberation, and background music. Recent unified generative models already achieve strong speech and singing generation in clean conditions, but real-world vocal editing remains challenging because the model must revise content while simultaneously preserving speaker identity, prosody, and the surrounding acoustic scene. Directly modeling noisy audio end-to-end entangles semantic editing with environmental acoustics, weakening the core vocal generation capability. We therefore adopt a two-stage design that preserves clean-domain editing ability while deferring acoustic rendering to a separate stage: an instruction-guided autoregressive editor first predicts clean prosody and content-style tokens, supported by a teacher-student noise-robust prosody tokenizer that distills clean prosodic tokens from degraded recordings; a flow-matching acoustic model then performs in-context rendering conditioned on the source acoustic context, so the edited segment inherits surrounding noise, reverberation, and background sound while maintaining consistent speaker timbre. To stabilize unedited regions, we introduce unmodified-area-aware supervision; after pre-training, we further apply direct preference optimization on mined real-to-real singing pairs. We also release AnyEditBench, a benchmark covering both speech and singing voice editing under clean, simulated, and in-the-wild acoustic conditions. Experiments on Chinese and English speech and singing datasets showed that AnyEdit consistently outperforms strong baselines in content accuracy, subjective quality, and background consistency under noisy and reverberant conditions.
