MDB-bass-synth
MDB-bass-synth contains 71 songs from the MedleyDB dataset in which the bass track has been resynthesized to obtain a perfect bass f0 annotation using the analysis/synthesis method described in the following publication:

This dataset includes:
- 71 stereo wav files of song mixes where the original bass stem (track) has been replaced with a resynthesized one
- 71 mono wav files containing the resynthesized bass stem (track) only
- 71 csv files containing a perfect f0 annotation of the bass stem (track) obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper

Description
The data come in three folders "audio_mix", "audio_bass" and "annotation_bass", the contents of which is described below:
audio_mix
Contains 71 stereo wav files of song mixes where the original bass stem (track) has been replaced with a resynthesized one. All other stems (tracks) in the mix are the original ones (not resynthesized). The resynthesized bass is obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper, and is automatically mixed together with the rest of the stems as described in the paper.
Naming convention:
<artist>_<songtitle>_MIX_basssynth.wav
Example:
AClassicEducation_NightOwl_MIX_basssynth.wav
Naming convention:
<artist>_<songtitle>_MIX_basssynth.wav
Example:
AClassicEducation_NightOwl_MIX_basssynth.wav
audio_bass
Contains 71 mono wav files of the resynthesized bass stem (track) only. The resynthesized bass is obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper.
Naming convention:
<artist>_<songtitle>_STEM_<stemID>.RESYN.wav
Example:
AClassicEducation_NightOwl_STEM_01.RESYN.wav
Naming convention:
<artist>_<songtitle>_STEM_<stemID>.RESYN.wav
Example:
AClassicEducation_NightOwl_STEM_01.RESYN.wav
annotation_bass
Contains 71 csv files containing a perfect f0 annotation of the bass stem (track) obtained via the analysis/synthesis method described in the paper.
Format:
Each file contains two comma-separated columns, the first containing timestamps and the second containing the bass f0 in Hz. The first frame in the annotation is zero-centered. Silence is indicated as 0 Hz. The hop size of the annotation is 128/44100 seconds (~2.9 ms).
