TL;DR

• If your dataset is relatively small: take advantage of domain knowledge using Musicnn.
• If you want a simple but the best performing model: Short-chunk CNN with Residual connection (so-called vgg-ish model with a small receptive field)
• If you want the best performance with generalization ability: Harmonic CNN

Requirements

conda create -n YOUR_ENV_NAME python=3.7
conda activate YOUR_ENV_NAME
pip install -r requirements.txt

Preprocessing

STFT will be done on-the-fly. You only need to read and resample audio files into .npy files.
