Reverse Engineering the Amen Break - Score-informed Separation and Restoration applied to Drum Recordings

This page provides audio examples that illustrate the results of the different levels of NMFD side information as well as our proposed post-processing methods. The intention is to point out differences that are not well captured by the PEASS and BSSEval [1] metrics. The audio item on this page has also been used as an illustrative example for the cross-talk reduction in the paper.

Test set item: WaveDrum02_56

Mixture

Kick drum

Snare drum

Hi-hat
