Welcome to Singing Voice Separation Listening Test

Singing Voice Separation (SVS) is an engineering technique used to separate the vocal and instrumental components from a musical piece.

We are trying to evaluate how well this separation is being performed by various methods.

 

 

Why?

It is important for researchers to be able to evaluate the performance of the current state of the art methods in order to improve upon it. This experiment will help us compare various methods of separating vocals and instrumentals for our research?

 

How?

We have designed an experiment which allows you to listen and compare different methods of separating vocals. Based on the ratings obtained we shall be able to determine what methods produce the best results.

 

Instructions regarding each criterion will be presented during the experiment.

 

Your Contribution

We need you donate ten to fifteen minutes of your time to participate in this experiment.

 

You will be listening to two sets of short audio clips and judge their quality on a scale of 1 to 100 based on the judging criteria.

 

We appreciate your contribution towards our research and send out a giant thank you to all the participants!

 

The experiment is now complete. This page has been retained for archival purposes.
