Abstract
In this paper, we propose a deep recurrent neural network (DRNN), based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) unit, for the separation of drum and bass sources from a monaural audio track. In particular, a single DRNN with a total of six hidden layers (three feedforward and three recurrent) is used for each original source to be separated. In this work, we limit our attention to the case of only two, challenging sources: drum and bass. Some experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach with respect to another state-of-the-art method. Results are expressed in terms of well-known metrics in the field of source separation.
