Audio source separation aims to separate a mixture into target sources. Previous audio source separation systems usually conduct one-step inference, which does not fully explore the separation ability of models. In this work, we reveal that…

Audio source separation is often achieved by estimating the magnitude spectrogram of each source, and then applying a phase recovery (or spectrogram inversion) algorithm to retrieve time-domain signals. Typically, spectrogram inversion is…
