Nice work on Scheme for Max!

Much less impressive, but I spent a bit of time building a simple M4L device a while back using Typescript, and put some effort into figuring out how to make TS play nice(r) with the M4L API (the JS support in Max is pretty basic).

I never got around to splitting it out into its own reusable module but it might be of interest to anyone interested in playing with scripting Ableton from Max, but not interested in learning Max’s visual programming paradigm: https://github.com/tomduncalf/livefader

Would be interested to know how Ableton’s scriptability compares to some other DAWs… I know Tracktion and Bitwig have some degree of JS support, and Reaper has its own scripting language. Personally I’d love it Ableton made the Python API etc. a bit more official but I can of course understand why they don’t.

Yeah Max’s JS support is pretty weird.

I spent some time figuring out nicer ways to work with it in order to build an Octatrack-style parameter crossfader for M4L, it provides some abstractions and setup to make using Typescript with Max a bit more pleasant. Still plenty of limitations but I was able to get my device working pretty well in the end. Apologies for lack of docs!

There's a webservice to separate a song using Demucs here:

https://demucs.danielfrg.com/

And a great Dockerized webapp that lets you choose from several models and parameters here:

Otherwise you can just install them locally and run them through the CLI, it's pretty easy (one command)

  2. Now you can take the isolated vocals, and build the rest of the song yourself

For the more tech-savvy folks and programmers alike: I've been working self-hostable web app that does this and supports Spleeter and many other models (fully open source): https://github.com/JeffreyCA/spleeter-web

Spleeter Web, a self-hostable web app for music source separation. It lets you isolate the vocal, accompaniment, bass, and/or drums of any piece of music using deep learning-based source separation models. It's like moises.ai/ezstems.com but open-source.

I learned lots about building a full-stack web app ground-up as well as how to containerize the whole thing with Docker.
