摘要	Timbre analysis is the computational characterization and modeling of tone color—the perceived quality that distinguishes one instrument from another even at the same pitch and loudness. Pioneered by Grey (1977), timbre analysis extracts acoustic descriptors that characterize spectral shape, temporal dynamics, and harmonic content. It underlies instrument identification, music similarity assessment, and audio retrieval. Unlike melody and rhythm, timbre is high-dimensional and context-dependent, making it one of the most challenging aspects of music analysis.	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.
