HH-LFBB is an open audio dataset composed of a series of drum recordings in the style of lofi hip-hop music. The dataset contains 3332 audio loops recorded in uncompressed stereo WAV format, produced with custom drum samples and MIDI-programmed rhythms at various tempo rates.
The primary objective of this dataset is to provide accessible content for machine learning applications in music and audio research. Some potential use cases for this dataset include tempo detection and classification, drum rhythm analysis, audio-to-MIDI conversion, source separation, automated mixing, music information retrieval, AI music generation, sound design, and signal processing.
