GoodSounds

Introduced in A real-time system for measuring sound goodness in instrumental sounds archive 2025-07-28

GoodSounds dataset contains around 28 hours of recordings of single notes and scales played by 15 different professional musicians, all of them holding a music degree and having some expertise in teaching. 12 different instruments (flute, cello, clarinet, trumpet, violin, alto sax alto, tenor sax, baritone sax, soprano sax, oboe, piccolo and bass) were recorded using one or up to 4 different microphones. For all the instruments the whole set of playable semitones in the instrument is recorded several times with different tonal characteristics. Each note is recorded into a separate monophonic audio file of 48kHz and 32 bits. Rich annotations of the recordings are available, including details on recording environment and rating on tonal qualities of the sound (“good-sound”, “bad”, “scale-good”, “scale-bad”).
