We are pleased to announce that the 28th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects (DAFx25) will be organized by the A3Lab, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy.
The conference will be hosted at the historical Mole Vanvitelliana, a cornerstone of culture in the port city of Ancona. The conference will feature oral presentations, poster and demo sessions, keynote addresses, and tutorials. The social program – including a welcome reception, concert and banquet – will offer opportunities for more informal interactions.
This annual conference brings together research practitioners across the globe working with digital audio processing for music and speech, sound design, sound art, acoustics and related applications. Original contributions for DAFx25 are encouraged in, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Capture, analysis, and audio restoration
- Representation, transformation and modelling
- Transmission and resynthesis
- Effects and manipulation
- Perception, psychoacoustics and evaluation
- Spatial sound analysis, estimation, coding and synthesis
- Source separation
- Physical modelling, virtual acoustic and analogue models
- Sound synthesis, composition and sonification
- Hardware and software design
- Music Information Retrieval
- Sound for Virtual, Augmented Reality, and Multisensoriality
This year we especially welcome submissions addressing:
- Interface design, user experience, usability and accessibility
- Neural modeling of digital audio effects and generative sound design
Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers, eight pages maximum, for both oral and poster presentations, by March 31st 2025.
Submitted papers must be camera-ready and formatted according to the templates and instructions available at the DAFx25 website. All papers must be submitted through the EasyChair conference management system and are subject to peer review. Acceptance may be conditional upon changes being made to the paper as directed by the reviewers. Proceedings with the final versions of the accepted contributions will be made freely accessible on the DAFx website after the conference closure.
Volumes 1998 to 2024 of DAFx proceedings are now indexed in Scopus and this will apply similarly to DAFx25 proceedings.
Important Dates
The submission portal will be closed for new submissions on March 31st at 23:59 (AoE). However, the authors will still have the opportunity to update their manuscripts until April 6th at 23:59 (AoE). Please note that there will be no further extensions beyond this deadline.
If you’re unable to finalize your submission before March 31st, consider submitting a placeholder with a descriptive title and abstract. This will help us start selecting the right reviewers for your paper while you finalize your paper (by April 6th).
Acceptance/rejection letters will be sent on May 6th.
Borderline papers will have time for their rebuttal by May 26th. Final decision for them will be communicated by June 6th.
Reviewing process
Following the last editions of the DAFx we will allow a rebuttal process for borderline papers that may benefit further clarifications from the authors before the final decision.
