Music source separation has been a popular topic in signal processing for decades, not only because of its technical difficulty, but also due to its importance to many commercial applications, such as automatic karoake and remixing. In this…
Modern audio source separation techniques rely on optimizing sequence model architectures such as, 1D-CNNs, on mixture recordings to generalize well to unseen mixtures. Specifically, recent focus is on time-domain based architectures such…
FM Synthesis is a well-known algorithm used to generate complex timbre from a compact set of design primitives. Typically featuring a MIDI interface, it is usually impractical to control it from an audio source. On the other hand,…
Despite phenomenal progress in recent years, state-of-the-art music separation systems produce source estimates with significant perceptual shortcomings, such as adding extraneous noise or removing harmonics. We propose a post-processing…
Music plagiarism detection is gaining more and more attention due to the popularity of music production and society's emphasis on intellectual property. We aim to find fine-grained plagiarism in music pairs since conventional methods are…
We consider the problem of resolving closely spaced point sources in one dimension from their Fourier data in a bounded domain. Classical subspace methods (e.g., MUSIC algorithm, Matrix Pencil method, etc.) show great superiority in…
This study introduces a novel and interpretable model, DiffVox, for matching vocal effects in music production. DiffVox, short for ``Differentiable Vocal Fx", integrates parametric equalisation, dynamic range control, delay, and reverb with…
A novel model was recently proposed by Schulze-Forster et al. in [1] for unsupervised music source separation. This model allows to tackle some of the major shortcomings of existing source separation frameworks. Specifically, it eliminates…
Multimodal music emotion recognition (MMER) is an emerging discipline in music information retrieval that has experienced a surge in interest in recent years. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in…
Musical instrument classification is one of the focuses of Music Information Retrieval (MIR). In order to solve the problem of poor performance of current musical instrument classification models, we propose a musical instrument…
In the context of music information retrieval, similarity-based approaches are useful for a variety of tasks that benefit from a query-by-example scenario. Music however, naturally decomposes into a set of semantically meaningful factors of…
The loudness war, an ongoing phenomenon in the music industry characterized by the increasing final loudness of music while reducing its dynamic range, has been a controversial topic for decades. Music mastering engineers have used limiters…
Singing voice separation aims to separate music into vocals and accompaniment components. One of the major constraints for the task is the limited amount of training data with separated vocals. Data augmentation techniques such as random…
Harmonic/percussive source separation (HPSS) consists in separating the pitched instruments from the percussive parts in a music mixture. In this paper, we propose to apply the recently introduced Masker-Denoiser with twin networks (MaD…

Machine Learning models are being utilized extensively to drive recommender systems, which is a widely explored topic today. This is especially true of the music industry, where we are witnessing a surge in growth. Besides a large chunk of…
A natural question arising in Music Source Separation (MSS) is whether long range contextual information is useful, or whether local acoustic features are sufficient. In other fields, attention based Transformers have shown their ability to…
Recent deep learning approaches have achieved impressive performance on visual sound separation tasks. However, these approaches are mostly built on appearance and optical flow like motion feature representations, which exhibit limited…
With the recent advancements of data driven approaches using deep neural networks, music source separation has been formulated as an instrument-specific supervised problem. While existing deep learning models implicitly absorb the spatial…
This paper proposes several improvements for music separation with deep neural networks (DNNs), namely a multi-domain loss (MDL) and two combination schemes. First, by using MDL we take advantage of the frequency and time domain…
