Abstract:This paper presents a novel approach to extraction of vocal melodies from accompanied singing recordings. Central to our approach is a model of vocal fundamental frequency (F0) likelihood that integrates acoustic-phonetic knowledge and real-world data. This model consists of a timbral fitness score and a loudness measure of each F0 candidate. Timbral fitness is measured for the partial amplitudes of an F0 candidate, with respect to a small set of vocal timbre examples. This F0-specific measurement of timbral f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
