Install Dependency

pip install -r requirements.txt

Data Processing

After downloading the rap songs, place them in a wav folder, such as /path/to/your/data/wav, then simply use pipeline.sh to process the data

bash pipeline.sh /path/to/your/data /path/to/save/features start_stage stop_stage

the stage is ranged from 0 to 5.

Multiple GPU is recommended for faster processing speed.
