vocal-remover VS demucs

I use this code: https://github.com/tsurumeso/vocal-remover

There is Vocal-Remover with various turnkey GUIs available like this one: https://github.com/Anjok07/ultimatevocalremovergui

I coded my own one, but the general logic and methods that I used were from a paper and a couple github repositories, this being the most useful one I think

I've wanted to mess with Bubble Pop for ages, but unfortunately, like most kpop there are no official or leaked instrumentals/acapellas/stems. Today I started experimenting with a neural network for extracting vocals and instrumentals from mastered audio (vocal-remover). Bubble Pop was the first song I tried it on, and it worked stunningly well. I got a pretty well-separated instrumental and vocal track, and I used those to make this custom mix.

No worries. In case you don't find it, here's a link. It's a GUI version of this one. Both are open source, MIT licence (you can use it commercially). But apart from a GUI it also provides additional models, which are better than the original one from vocal-remover. So even if you don't use the GUI (or can't for technical reasons) you can just use the models from UVR-GUI directly with vocal-remover.

I've had the best results from Facebook's DEMUCs. It's not too difficult to install, and I like the sound quality of their mdx_extra model. This is the command line I use (this will use the 2 stem version -- vocals, and everything else)

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

Demucs [1], one of the leading/SOTA systems, has an experimental 6-source model, `htdemucs_6s`, which adds piano and guitar:

>We are also releasing an experimental 6 sources model, that adds a guitar and piano source. Quick testing seems to show okay quality for guitar, but a lot of bleeding and artifacts for the piano source.

I also believe Audioshake [2] (a company in the space) is doing guitar separation as well.

I don't know which one /u/DarkMemoria used exactly but I use demucs. If you go to the Colab section you can run it by putting the audio files you want to separate into Google Drive.

Demucs v4 is the best open source currently, that's also what the snippet from the video sounds like uses

already exist, for example I use demucs to separate songs into 6 tracks, and then I mute what i need to be silenced in any daw.

I regularly use demucs (https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs). It might be overwhelming when you are not used to work with the terminal, but it's as good as all the wrapper sites that ask for payment. Also, there are probably GUI projects that makes it even easier.

There's also the open source software https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs which I assume is what many of the free websites are using behind the scenes. There's a demo site here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/akhaliq/demucs but I haven't tested it for time limits/upload limits etc.

I used demucs to try and separate the vocals from the instrumental with fairly decent results. When playing the instrumental you can still vaguely hear some remnants of the vocals and I worry when it's played over a real sound system at the wedding it will be very obvious.
