LiveBand: Live Accompaniment Generation in the Audio Domain

ArXi:2606.03803v1 Announce Type: cross We present LiveBand, a real-time system that generates high-fidelity music accompaniments to live audio input, respecting strict causal constraints. Our method trains a causal transformer generator in the continuous latent space of a pre-trained causal audio autoencoder, using adversarial sequence-level supervision from a discriminator. At each timestep, the generator receives only the causally available mix context and Gaussian noise, and predicts accompaniment latents without access to future mix frames or ground-truth target latents.
