FreeSonic introduces a training-free framework that leverages the TangoFlux model to solve critical challenges in text-to-audio editing by balancing temporal consistency with background preservation. By utilizing optimized inversion processes and scheduled attention decoupling, it enables precise modifications without retraining large models, offering an efficient path forward for high-fidelity audio synthesis tasks.
FreeSonic: Training-Free Temporal-Aware Decoupled Attention for Precise Audio Editing
arXiv:2606.15186v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-audio (TTA) generation has made significant strides, yet achieving precise and consistent audio editing remains a major challenge. However, existing methods struggle to balance temporal consistency with background preservation. In this paper, we propose FreeSonic, a training-free framework leveraging the state-of-the-art Rectified Flow-based TangoFlux model. FreeSonic utilizes an optimized inversion-reverse process and joint text-audio attention maps for precise target segment extraction. For content editing, a novel scheduled attention decoupling confines modifications to target regions while preserving original acoustic context. Furthermore, task-oriented noise injection enhances versatility for tasks such as audio removal and non-rigid replacement. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that FreeSonic achieves a superior balance by providing a high-fidelity and efficient solution for precise and consistent audio editing.
