There is some uncertainty as to whether objective metrics for predicting the perceived quality of audio source separation are sufficiently accurate. This issue was investigated by employing a revised experimental methodology to collect subjective ratings of sound quality and interference of singing-voice recordings that have been extracted from musical mixtures using state-of-the-art audio source separation. A correlation analysis between the experimental data and the measures of two objective evaluation toolkits, BSS Eval and PEASS, was performed to assess their performance. The artifacts-related perceptual score of the PEASS toolkit had the strongest correlation with the perception of artifacts and distortions caused by singing-voice separation. Both the source-to-interference ratio of BSS Eval and the interference-related perceptual score of PEASS showed comparable correlations with the human ratings of interference.
