DOSE : Drum One-Shot Extraction from Music Mixture
Drum one-shot samples are crucial for music production, particularly in sound design and electronic music. This paper introduces Drum One-Shot Extraction, a task in which the goal is to extract drum one-shots that are present in the music mixture. To facilitate this, we propose the Random Mixture One-shot Dataset (RMOD), comprising large-scale, randomly arranged music mixtures paired with corresponding drum one-shot samples. Our proposed model, Drum One- Shot Extractor (DOSE), leverages neural audio codec language models for end-to-end extraction, bypassing traditional source separation steps. Additionally, we introduce a novel onset loss, designed to encourage accurate prediction of the initial transient of drum one-shots, which is essential for capturing timbral characteristics. We compare this approach against a source separation-based extraction method as a baseline. The results, evaluated using Frechet Audio Distance (FAD) and Multi-Scale Spectral loss (MSS), demonstrate that DOSE, enhanced with onset loss, outperforms the baseline, providing more accurate and higher-quality drum one-shots from music mixtures.
