Abstract: A system processes mixed input data using a neural network trained to separate audio data of predetermined timbres from mixed audio data and to obtain a group of decomposed tracks comprising at least first, second, and third decomposed audio tracks representing audio signals of first, second, and third predetermined timbres, respectively. The system reads a control input representing a setting of a first volume level and of a second volume level. The system recombines at least a first selected track and a second selected track selected from the group of decomposed tracks to generate a first recombined track. The system recombines the first recombined track at the first volume level with at least a third track selected from the group of decomposed tracks, at the second volume level, to obtain a second recombined track. The system plays the audio data based on the second recombined track.

Abstract: A method for processing audio data, comprising providing song identification data identifying a particular song from among a plurality of songs or identifying a particular position within a particular song, loading intermediate data associated with the song identification data from a storage medium or from a remote device. The method also comprises obtaining input audio data representing audio signals of the song as identified by the song identification data. The audio signals comprise a mixture of different musical timbres, including at least a first musical timbre and a second musical timbre different from said first musical timbre. The method comprises combining the input audio data and the intermediate data with one another to obtain output audio data. The audio data represent audio signals of the first musical timbre separated from the second musical timbre.
