demucs4max VS stemroller

On its own, Demucs is a command-line tool. I wanted a way to be able to use it from within Ableton, and I came across this Max4Live Device on GitHub that does exactly this. This makes it incredibly accessible to separate stems on the fly without even leaving your DAW. Here's the link to check it out. You'll find a list of instructions there on how to set it up depending on what device you're using. If you have a dedicated GPU, you're in luck because Demucs can be configured to use it. I have an NVIDIA RTX 3080 and am consistently able to process tracks in just ~10-15 seconds. If you don't have a dedicated GPU, it will take longer but you'll get the same results.

Would be possible to make this into a foobar2000 component https://github.com/stemrollerapp/stemroller

For those interested, Facebook's Demucs page (https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs) gives performance comparison for several models including open-unmix.

See also: https://www.stemroller.com This runs as a local app on Windows and Mac.

This is a pay as you go service that works pretty well. This one is free and works slightly less better (IMO) than the first. Website makes it sound like you have to use their search function but you can just drag and drop audio files in.

Try Stemroller (https://github.com/stemrollerapp/stemroller). It can break an mp3 down into individual stems. Very CPU intensive though.

I usually try a few options to test for the best results, including Vocalremover and Spleeter, but also https://www.stemroller.com/

Stem Roller

I wonder why ubisoft hasn't used ai to split the tracks in rocksmith. There are tools like https://github.com/stemrollerapp/stemroller that can do it easily. DJs are doing this live with audio they are mixing. It would make the game more fun and realistic. I don't like hearing the original guitar over mine. I wish I could mute it and play solo.
