  • ultimatevocalremovergui

    GUI for a Vocal Remover that uses Deep Neural Networks.

  • Some of you have probably heard of spleeter, a machine learning program developed by Deezer that isolates instruments. It was pretty good, but it had some obvious weaknesses. But what if I told you that there's something even better? Ultimate Vocal Remover is so good I audibly said "holy sh*t" when I listened to what it produced. It recently released a full-band model (UVR-MDX-NET Inst HQ 1), unlike spleeter which has an 11kHz cutoff.

  • spleeter

    Deezer source separation library including pretrained models.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • demucs

    Code for the paper Hybrid Spectrogram and Waveform Source Separation, but the goddamm motherfucker doesn't work.

  • This is based off of https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs which does sound better than Spleeter, but largely just because it's latest generation is newer. The next big update to Spleeter will probably be better than this and then the next update to this will be better than that, etc.

  • mdx-net

    KUIELAB-MDX-Net got the 2nd place on the Leaderboard A and the 3rd place on the Leaderboard B in the MDX-Challenge ISMIR 2021

  • UVR does include support for demucs (including the latest version, v4); however, the model that OP is recommending is mdx-net, which is a completely different AI model. mdx-net can produce superior vocal stems, but it can separate into only two stems (vocals, other).

  • stemroller

    Isolate vocals, drums, bass, and other instrumental stems from any song

  • There are other GUIs for demucs, such as StemRoller, but UVR is by far the most versatile one. One great feature of UVR is the ability to use set up “ensembles” that use a different AI model for each individual stem.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
