MUSDB18

Introduced in The MUSDB18 corpus for music separation archive 2025-07-28

The MUSDB18 is a dataset of 150 full lengths music tracks (~10h duration) of different genres along with their isolated drums, bass, vocals and others stems.

The dataset is split into training and test sets with 100 and 50 songs, respectively. All signals are stereophonic and encoded at 44.1kHz.

22 shown of 22 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 106. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
