Salamon, R. M. Bittner, J. Bonada, J. J. Bosch, E. Gómez, and J. P. Bello. "An analysis/synthesis framework for automatic f0 annotation of multitrack datasets". In 18th Int. Soc. for Music Info. Retrieval Conf., Suzhou, China, Oct. 2017. This dataset includes: * 230 mono wav files containing the resynthesized solo stem (track) from a variety of instruments and voices * 230 csv files containing a perfect f0 annotation of the stem (track) obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper The data come in two folders, the contents of which is described below. audio_stems ----------- Contains 230 mono wav files of the resynthesized solo stems (tracks), spanning a variety of musical instruments and voices. The resynthesized stems are obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper. Naming convention: <artist>_<songtitle>_STEM_<stemID>.RESYN.wav Example: AClassicEducation_NightOwl_STEM_01.RESYN.wav annotation_stems ---------------- Contains 230 csv files containing a perfect f0 annotation of the stems (tracks) obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper. Format: Each file contains two comma-separated columns, the first containing timestamps and the second containing the stem f0 in Hz. The first frame in the annotation is zero-centered. Silence is indicated as 0 Hz. The hop size of the annotation is 128/44100 seconds (~2.9 ms). Naming convention: <artist>_<songtitle>_STEM_<stemID>.RESYN.csv Example: AClassicEducation_NightOwl_STEM_01.RESYN.csv Please Acknowledge MDB-stem-synth in Academic Research ------------------------------------------------------ Please cite the following publication when using MDB-stem-synth: J.
