Following two virtual DAFx editions, the eDAFx2020 and the DAFx20in21, the long journey of DAFx20's Vienna came to an end in the best possible way. The DAFx20in22 conference took place as an in-person event. It was an immense success and finally we were able to fulfil the expectations of a wide pool of participants with quality scientific presentations and quality social events.
After a rush to purchase tickets, the event was sold out three weeks before starting date, which is unprecedented for DAFx. A wide participation since the first day of tutorials was observed as it had never been seen at DAFx conferences.
We also streamed the oral sessions and the keynote addresses delivered by outstanding researchers. The recordings of the streaming, as well as of the tutorials will be made available soon. The audiovisual documents, together with links to the videos of the whole virtual conferences, are available in this website (see the eDAFx2020 and the DAFx20in21 sections).
Three books of DAFx20's Vienna Proceedings were published. The first volume, which reflects the content of eDAFx2020, is available since September 2020. The second volume, which reflects the content of DAFx20in21, was published in September 2021. The third volume dedicated to DAFx20in22 is available since September 2022 (see the Proceedings section of this website).
Two special issues appeared on the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society (JAES). For the 2022 one see JAES Special Issue on New Trends in Audio Effects, and for the 2021 one see JAES Special Issue on Advancements in Digital Audio Effects. They are collections of extended versions of selected DAFx20's Vienna papers and beyond.
Another Special Issue on New Trends in Audio Effects II of the JAES has been announced (deadline January 4, 2023), which will feature extended versions of the best DAFx20in22 papers and beyond.
We thank all our generous sponsors for supporting us, the authors for submitting excellent scientific work, the army of hundreds of reviewers for helping us select and improve the papers, as well as the keynote and tutorial speakers.

The Digital Audio Effects conferences are meeting points for scientists, engineers, musicians and artists who are developing and applying technology to audio in all its forms.
The conference title originated from a European Union's COST-G6 project and the first public event, the DAFx'98 Workshop, took place in Barcelona. There is now a long standing tradition of DAFx. Besides DAFx conference proceedings, two editions of the Digital Audio Effects (DAFx) book have been published.
In the time, the original title has been given a much broader meaning encompassing all kind of sound and music information processing. Perhaps, we can agree that an Audio Effect is just about anything that sounds!
Usually, DAFx conferences are a blend of oral and poster presentations of peer-reviewed papers, keynote addresses, tutorials and demonstrations. Several social events are held for the attendants, including a concert and the traditional banquet.
We hope to be able to do the same at DAFx20in22.
The quinquennial Vienna Talk on Music Acoustics, which was to happen at the same venue right after DAFx2020, has been postponed to September 2022. So this close encounter can happen again and we really hope to see you in Vienna for DAFx20in22 plus Vienna Talk.
(here we list all the sponsors for at least one of the Vienna editions. Please see the Sponsors section for the notes on the editions)
for providing us the latest pro version of Pianoteq-Organteq for use in one of the keynote talks.
The DAFx20's Vienna conferences are being organised by a team of people spanning several institutions in Vienna where active research on Sound and Music processing and Acoustics is performed. These are:
The DAFx20's Vienna conferences chair is Prof. Gianpaolo Evangelista (mdw), who already chaired the DAFx 2004 conference in Naples, Italy.
Tutorials: Tue. 6 Sept. 2022
Conference: Wed. 7 Sept. to Fri. 9 Sept. 2022
Social Tour: Sat. 10 Sept. 2022
