The informing signal will be used to create a caricature of a similar signal within the mixture and, by using features of the informing signal, we may extract the similar signal. This research can be positioned alongside existing research that aims to achieve accurate source separation. The main objective of the research will be to explore and evaluate how well an informing signal can be used to obtain a corresponding similar signal and how similar to the target source this must be. By using deep learning, the problems of separating complex musical signals can be addressed. Research
