Music source separation extracts vocals and instruments from a mixed recording, enabling remixing, content production, and music analysis. Existing systems commonly operate on waveforms or full-band spectrograms. Waveform inputs contain many samples even in short segments, whereas a single spectrogram resolution imposes a shared time-frequency resolution trade-off across frequency ranges. We propose SubRoFormer, a Transformer-based system comprising a subband module and a residual RoFormer module. The subband module decomposes the mixture into frequency-localized, lower-rate signals for separation. It then reconstructs the target waveforms from the estimated subbands. The residual RoFormer module models temporal and cross-band relationships on temporally compressed features. It combines this context with fine-rate features through gated residual fusion to estimate source-specific complex masks. On the MUSDB18-HQ test set, training only on MUSDB18-HQ yields an average signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) of 10.63 dB across four stems using target-specific models, achieving state-of-the-art performance among the compared systems without extra training data. With 500 additional training songs, a single model jointly separating all four stems achieves an average SDR of 11.59 dB, establishing state-of-the-art performance among the compared single-model multi-stem systems trained with extra data.
