SINGING OR MUSIC: A SUGGESTION

Locating Singing Voice Segments within Music Signals

A sung vocal line is the prominent feature of much popular music. It would be useful to reliably locate the portions of a musical track during which the vocals are present, both as a ‘signature’ of the piece and as a precursor to automatic recognition of lyrics. Here, we approach this problem by using the acoustic classifier of a speech recognizer as a detector for speech-like sounds. Although ...

Separation of Singing Voice from Music Background

Songs are representation of audio signal and musical instruments. An audio signal separation system should be able to identify different audio signals such as speech, background noise and music. In a song the singing voice provides useful information regarding pitch range, music content, music tempo and rhythm. An automatic singing voice separation system is used for attenuating or removing the...

Singing Voice Classification in Commercial Music Productions

Instead of the expansion of the information retrieval systems, the music information retrieval domain is still an open one. In this context, the singing voice classification is a promised trend. In this paper, we shall present our experiments concerning the classification of singers according to their voice type, and their voice quality. Some experiments were carried in which two sets of parame...

A Music Information Retrieval System Based on Singing Voice Timbre

We developed a music information retrieval system based on singing voice timbre, i.e., a system that can search for songs in a database that have similar vocal timbres. To achieve this, we developed a method for extracting feature vectors that represent characteristics of singing voices and calculating the vocal-timbre similarity between two songs by using a mutual information content of their ...
