Abstract
Term masking is performed by generating a time-alignment value for a plurality of units of sound in vocal audio content contained in a mixed audio track, force-aligning each of the plurality of units of sound to the vocal audio content based on the time-alignment value, thereby generating a plurality of force-aligned identifiable units of sound, identifying from the plurality of force-aligned units of sound a force-aligned unit of sound to be altered, and altering the identified force-aligned unit of sound.
