Vocal Separation
Vocal separation is the task of isolating the singing voice from a mixed music recording, leaving the instrumental accompaniment. Introduced formally by Han et al. (2012), it is critical for music editing, remixing, karaoke generation, and music analysis. Modern deep learning approaches (Défossez et al., 2021) have achieved impressive quality, enabling practical applications in music production and streaming services. Vocal separation is a special case of source separation, where the goal is to isolate the most perceptually salient source.
