Recent approaches in music generation rely on disentangled representations, often labeled as structure and timbre or local and global, to enable controllable synthesis. Yet the underlying properties of these embeddings remain underexplored.…

Music Source Restoration (MSR) extends source separation to realistic settings where signals undergo production effects (equalization, compression, reverb) and real-world degradations, with the goal of recovering the original unprocessed…

Music source separation is the task of separating a mixture of instruments into constituent tracks. Music source separation models are typically trained using only audio data, although additional information can be used to improve the…
