Abstract

Music source separation systems typically extract a single vocal track and do not distinguish between multiple singers. We study singer-informed vocal source separation for multi-singer mixtures. Our framework introduces a short enrollment recording of a target singer to guide separation through a learned embedding. The singer embedding is incorporated using feature concatenation or feature-wise linear modulation (FiLM), enabling the model to focus on the target singer while suppressing interference. We construct a duet dataset based on DAMP-VSEP with quality filtering and non-overlapping enrollment segments. Experiments on solo and duet settings show that while baseline models perform well for single-singer mixtures, the proposed method improves target-singer extraction in multi-singer cases, increasing target-singer SI-SDR from 0.33 dB to 5.58 dB. Fréchet Audio Distance (FAD) further shows improved perceptual quality and better alignment with target audio distributions. Code and checkpoints are available at this https URL.
