    Open-Unmix - Music Source Separation for PyTorch

  • In my first post, quite a lot of alternatives were discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36707877

    The model I'm using is called Open-Unmix (https://github.com/sigsep/open-unmix-pytorch). In 2021, there was an update to Open-Unmix to include new weights, UMX-L, which made it perform better than it used to on the older weights (UMXHQ).

    In the grand landscape of music demixing, I don't think UMX-L is near the top anymore.

    _However_, the demixing performance of freemusicdemixer.com is very close to the full PyTorch performance of Open-Unmix UMX-L, despite the tricks I needed to get it working in the browser, such as splitting up the inference to operate on segments of the song, or making the LSTM operate on streaming segments rather than holding the entire track in the LSTM memory.

    In my first release, I loaded and did inference on the entire track at once (like the PyTorch model), which frequently crashed or exceeded the 4GB WASM memory for medium or large-size tracks.

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

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