We are pleased to announce that the 17th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects (DAFx) will be held in Erlangen, Germany between 1st and 5th September, 2014.

This annual conference is a coming together of those working across the globe in research relating to digital audio processing for music and speech, sound art, acoustics and related applications. DAFx14 is jointly organized by the Fraunhofer Institut Integrated Circuits (IIS), the Multimedia Communications and Signal Processing Department of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), and the International Audio Laboratories Erlangen (AudioLabs).

The conference will be hosted at facilities located at the Fraunhofer IIS and the FAU campus in Erlangen and will feature oral and poster presentations of submitted papers, keynote addresses, tutorials/demonstrations and a social program. Note that this Call for Papers is also available as a pdf download for your convenience. Please spread the word about DAFx-14 among your colleagues and feel free to further distribute this information.

We would like to invite submissions of papers for presentation at DAFx14 within the following general areas relevant to audio signal processing for music, speech, sound art, acoustics and related applications:

* Capture and analysis
* Representation, transformation and modelling
* Transmission and resynthesis
* Effects and manipulation
* Perception, psychoacoustics and evaluation
* Source separation
* Physical modelling, virtual acoustic and analogue models
* Sound design and composition and sonification
