Abstract
The noise in musical audio recordings is assumed to obey an alpha-stable distribution. A sparse linear regression framework with structured priors is elaborated. Markov Chain Monte Carlo is used to infer the clean music signal model and the alpha-stable noise distribution parameters. The musical audio recordings are processed both as a whole and in segments by using a sine-bell window for analysis and overlap-and-add reconstruction. Experiments on noisy Greek folk music excerpts demonstrate better denoising under the alpha-stable noise assumption than the Gaussian white noise one, and when processing is performed in segments rather than in full recordings.
