Break-informed audio decomposition for interactive redrumming: International Society of Music Information Retrieval Conference

Redrumming or drum replacement is used to substitute or enhance the drum hits in a song with one-shot drum sounds obtained from an external collection or database. In an ideal setting, this is done on multitrack audio, where one or more tracks are dedicated exclusively to drums and percussion. However, most non-professional producers and DJs only have access to mono or stereo downmixes of the music they work with. Motivated by this scenario, as well as previous work on decomposition techniques for audio signals, we propose a step towards enabling full-fledged redrumming with mono downmixes.
