Audio Intent Specialist

Listening With Context

The Audio Intent Specialist is VisionQC’s first locked production lane, designed to distinguish intentional sound design from genuine audio problems. Rather than treating all anomalies as errors, it evaluates context silence, distortion, texture, and cadence—to determine whether an issue is likely creative or accidental.

Crucially, the Audio Intent Specialist never modifies audio. No cleanup, no filtering, no correction is applied. Its outputs are advisory only, designed to inform editors, mixers, and producers without interfering in creative or technical workflows.

By combining intent awareness with regression protection, the Audio Intent Specialist prevents quality drift over time. Approved baselines are defended, changes are traceable, and teams can move faster with confidence knowing the system is listening carefully, not aggressively.

The system detects high-confidence issues such as dropouts, hum, buzz, muffling, and clicks or pops. These findings are presented as Strict Actionables a minimal list of issues that warrant attention—alongside Full Review Sheets that provide ranked, contextual insight for deeper review.

What the System Does Today

Theater Mode Editorial Assembly & Preview Rendering

Theater Mode functions as a non-destructive editorial engine. It assembles footage into coherent previews using narrative and compositional logic without locking edits or baking creative decisions.

Capabilities

  • Scene segmentation and narrative grouping
  • Genre-aware composition presets
  • Preview renders only (never “final masters”)
  • Full trace logs for review

Output: Editorial previews, clearly labeled PREVIEW not locked cuts.

Audio Intent Specialist

What It Does

The Audio Intent Specialist analyzes sound to distinguish intentional creative choices from genuine technical problems.

It detects issues such as:

  • Dropouts
  • Hum or buzz
  • Muffle
  • Clicks and pops

It outputs:

  • Strict Actionables (only high-confidence, must-review issues)
  • Full Review Sheets (contextual, ranked findings)
  • Gold Regression Tests to prevent quality drift over time

It does not clean, fix, or modify audio. It listens, evaluates, and reports nothing more.
