Mass: Music Audio Signal Separation

This database was created to help to evaluate of Musical Audio Signal Separation algorithms and statements on a representative set of professionally produced music (i.e. real music recordings). We include several song snips of a few seconds (10s-40s) with the following contents: Tracks (with/without effects): Stereo Microsoft PCM WAV files (44.1Khz, 24 bits) of every instrumental track including and/or without including effects (plugins enabled or disabled in the project file used for production) Description of the effects: When available, we include a description of the plugins used to modify the tracks without effects. Lyrics: When available, lyrics are included. License: All licenses allow these data sets to be used in scientific research but other may grant other priviledges (such as by-nc Creative Common licensed work). <strong>Using this dataset</strong> When the MASS dataset is used for academic research, we would highly appreciate if scientific publications of works partly based on the MASS dataset cite the following publication: <pre><code>@MISC{MTGMASSdb, author = {Vinyes, M}, title = { {MTG MASS database} }, howpublished = {\\\url{http://www.mtg.upf.edu/static/mass/resources} }, year = {2008}, }</code></pre> We are interested in knowing if you find our datasets useful!
