Challenge: Traditional overlap-add processing creates audible artifacts at chunk boundaries due to improper fade alignment across batches.
Solution: Global frame indexing with mathematically correct fade windows ensuring seamless reconstruction across arbitrary audio lengths.
# Global Fade Alignment (Enterprise-Grade DSP)
fade_in = idx_global < self.fade_len # Global frame reference
fade_out = idx_global >= total_frames - self.fade_len
# Perfect Reconstruction Validation
max_error = torch.max(torch.abs(reconstructed - original))
assert max_error < 2e-5 # Mathematical precision requirement# Confirmed test output:
