Inside the Vault: The Largest Multitrack Music Collection Ever Assembled
Included are sessions from:
The Future: AI and Stem Separation
- MedleyDB: A massive collaborative effort containing over 120 songs with aligned instrument annotations. While smaller in song count, it is rich in track count per song.
- MUSDB18 & MUSDB18-HQ: The industry standard for source separation research. While it contains only 150 songs, its ubiquity makes it the functional "backbone" of the research community.
- Private Archives: Companies like Splice and Tracklib possess the literal largest collections (millions of stems), but these are proprietary. The "largest public" collection is therefore often a curated subset of these private giants.
