spleeter VS livefader

virtual dj and others stem separator is shrinked model of this https://github.com/deezer/spleeter you will get better results downloading original + their large model.

I have used multiple tools at this point. It depends on the scene. I use https://ultimatevocalremover.com/, https://github.com/deezer/spleeter/, iZotope RX. There are also multiple options online, I would personally recommend https://vocalremover.org/.

I tried to use it but I had some issues as others in the thread.

I have tried many sources and method over the years and settled on spleeter [0]. Works well even for 10+ minute songs, varying styles from flamenco to heavy metal.

Spleeter is pretty good https://github.com/deezer/spleeter. Apparently it is used in some dj applications

Haha GitHub and command lines and all can be confusing, but it’s certainly worth the effort because it lets you do everything for free.. here’s the online tutorial: https://github.com/deezer/spleeter/wiki/1.-Installation

Chopped from their website Simple Stems is a quick and easy way to decompose any audio into it’s constituent parts. The plugin uses the well established Spleeter algorithm by Deezer to deconstruct songs into 2, 4 or 5 stems. The results are stunning, though more complicated mixes and live recordings are not always perfectly decomposed.

I was going to post basic pitch from Spotify but it looks like billconan beat me to it. That said I can give you a bit more advice. The Spotify basic pitch model isn't too good at multi-track input. It's capable of it, but you may actually get better results if you separate out the tracks first and then run them individually through the basic pitch model.

In order to do this you can use a source/stem separation model like spleeter (https://github.com/deezer/spleeter) and then run the basic pitch model (or any other midi transcription model). There's other you can try which may yield better results, for example: (https://github.com/Music-and-Culture-Technology-Lab/omnizart)

Either way the key words you want to be looking for are "midi transcription" and "stem separation", should help you find more models to try for both steps. Good luck! :)

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!
