Singing Voice Classification in Commercial Music Productions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Instead of the expansion of the information retrieval systems, the music information retrieval domain is still an open one. In this context, the singing voice classification is a promised trend. In this paper, we shall present our experiments concerning the classification of singers according to their voice type, and their voice quality. Some experiments were carried in which two sets of parameters are used in addition to the use of two classification approaches: The GMM (Gaussian Mixture Models) and the VQ (Vector quantization). The obtained results were compared to those provided by the related state-of-the-art approaches. KEYWORDSMusic Retrieval; Features Extraction; Voice Singer Classification; Gaussian Mixture Model; Vector Quantization.

Resonance tuning and glottal behaviour in different vocal qualities in Bulgarian women's singing. A pilot study
Bulgarian folk music usually involves women as singers and men as instrumentalists. It is often performed outdoors, where high levels of radiated vocal power are preferred. Two singing productions can be distinguished, which differ by their perceived loudness and timbre. The louder, more projected sound is labelled as /teshka/ (meaning /heavy/), and it tends to be used more in slower, sadder so...
متن کاملComparing audio descriptors for singing voice detection in music audio files
Given the relevance of the singing voice in popular western music, a system able to reliable identify those portions of a music audio file containing vocals would be very useful. In this work, we explore already used descriptors to perform this task and compare the performance of a statistical classifier using each kind of them, concluding that MFCC are the most appropriate. As an outcome of ou...
متن کاملMusical Information Extraction from the Singing Voice
Music information retrieval is currently an active research area that addresses the extraction of musically important information from audio signals, and the applications of such information. The extracted information can be used for search and retrieval of music in recommendation systems, or to aid musicological studies or even in music learning. Sophisticated signal processing techniques are ...

متن کاملVoice source and acoustic measures of girls singing “classical” and “contemporary commercial” styles
The understanding of the singing voice of children and adolescents is still in its infancy, and there is a lack of a general developmental model of the young voice, in particular with relation to young singers. Available research has largely also been on “classically” trained voices, and contemporary commercial music (CCM) including pop/rock and musical theatre has largely been ignored. This st...
