A Conditioned UNet for Music Source Separation

arXiv — cs.LGThursday, December 18, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A novel conditioned UNet architecture has been proposed for Music Source Separation (MSS), allowing for the extraction of specific audio stems based on an audio query, thus eliminating the need for a strict instrument vocabulary. This approach leverages the recently developed MoisesDb dataset to enhance the realism of MSS tasks.
  • The introduction of QSCNet, a conditioned UNet, challenges previous assertions that UNets are unsuitable for conditioned MSS, potentially broadening the applicability of neural networks in audio processing and improving the quality of music separation tasks.
  • This development highlights ongoing discussions in the AI community regarding the effectiveness of various neural network architectures, particularly UNets, in diverse applications such as image segmentation and audio processing, suggesting a need for continued exploration of architectural innovations and their implications across different domains.
