[Question] Dataset Silence

[queechy]

I'm creating a dataset using human-made songs, but should I remove the Silence of the songs?

Yeah, we do not intend to process silence. If you check our released recipes, you can find usually we would have a stage in the pre-processing (usually in local/data.sh for each recipe folder) that split the songs into non-silence segments based on the silence information.
