Here is a tutorial on how to download, install and use Spleeter, the new open-source AI by Deezer. You can use it to get the drums, the vocals, the bass, the. Nov 12, 2019 Spleeter is described as a “state-of-the-art source separation algorithm,” and Deezer is confident that the results you can get with it match anything that’s already out there. We’ve already seen the likes of the Music Rebalance feature in iZotope’s RX7, and Audionamix’s Xtrax Stems is completely dedicated to breaking tracks apart.
Released on october 29th 2019, the Spleeter (https://github.com/deezer/spleeter) github repository received more than 5000 stars on its first week online and numerous positive feedbacks as well as press coverage. This talk will explain how we went from research code to this fairly easy to use open Python library, that integrates pre-trained models for inference and re-training.
While not a broadly known topic, the problem of source separation has interested a large community of music signal researchers for a couple of decades now. It starts from a simple observation: music recordings are usually a mix of several individual instrument tracks (lead vocal, drums, bass, piano etc..). The task of music source separation is: given a mix can we recover these separate tracks (sometimes called stems)? This has many potential applications: think remixes, upmixing, active listening, educational purposes, but also pre-processing for other tasks such as transcription.
The current state-of-the-art systems start to give convincing results on very wide catalogs of tracks, but the possibility of training such models remains largely bound by training data availability. In the case of copyrighted material like music, getting access to enough data is a pain point, and a source of inequality between research teams. Beside, an essential feature of good scientific research is that it must be reproducible by others. For these reasons and to even the playing field, we decided to not only release the code, but also our models pretrained on a carefully crafter in-house dataset.
Specific topics on which our presentation will dwell on are:- technical aspects of the models architecture and training- software design, and how to leverage tensorflow’s API in a user facing python library- how to package and version a code that leverages pre-trained models and that can be run on different architectures: CPU and GPU.- licensing and legal concerns- what we learned along the way- legacy

| It only works if you have Windows 10 Pro? |
| @liquidsnake, it should work on whatever versions Docker runs on. so Windows 10 64-bit: Pro, Enterprise, or Education (Build 15063 or later) according to https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/ |
| firstly youre amazing for porting this !!!!! amazing at so many levels !!!! have to report on windows it fails at the docker cp to extract from the container, i can do it manually via powershell, not too sure why my js aint great to bug fix but wanted to changed the js but cant figure out how to get the python to point to the containerID as that chaanges everytime its ran i think *docker newbie maybe not sure before i touch the code the UI in docker desktop for windows is diff instead of shared drives it has file sharing is that the same thing willing to help if what i said makes sense lol and thank you again azuki i appreciate you !!! |

| @freshvintijbatls, i have fixed the docker cp issue. if you download the latest .zip file it should just work. thanks! |
| Will give it a go ;) |


| The plugin loads fine and I have docker installed but when I highlight a clip and click start nothing happens other than the start button disappearing. I am on a late 2014 Mac Mini running 10.15.4 |

| wait... are you telling me you can simply control python using native n4m? terrific project, btw. |
| Hi, thanks a lot for your great job. I managed to install Docker in Windows 10 Home Edition and launch Spleeter in Live 10. It does its job on my WAV file called 'The Jack (Solo)' but when it has to open the final folder where the separate tracks, it gives me this error message : 'ERROR:spleeter:An error occurs with ffprobe (see ffprobe output below) ffprobe version 4.1.4-1~deb10u1 Copyright (c) 2007-2019 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 8 (Debian 8.3.0-6) configuration: --prefix=/usr --extra-version='1~deb10u1' --toolchain=hardened --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --incdir=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu --arch=amd64 --enable-gpl --disable-stripping --enable-avresample --disable-filter=resample --enable-avisynth --enable-gnutls --enable-ladspa --enable-libaom --enable-libass --enable-libbluray --enable-libbs2b --enable-libcaca --enable-libcdio --enable-libcodec2 --enable-libflite --enable-libfontconfig --enable-libfreetype --enable-libfribidi --enable-libgme --enable-libgsm --enable-libjack --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libmysofa --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libopenmpt --enable-libopus --enable-libpulse --enable-librsvg --enable-librubberband --enable-libshine --enable-libsnappy --enable-libsoxr --enable-libspeex --enable-libssh --enable-libtheora --enable-libtwolame --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwavpack --enable-libwebp --enable-libx265 --enable-libxml2 --enable-libxvid --enable-libzmq --enable-libzvbi --enable-lv2 --enable-omx --enable-openal --enable-opengl --enable-sdl2 --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libdrm --enable-libiec61883 --enable-chromaprint --enable-frei0r --enable-libx264 --enable-shared libavutil 56. 22.100 / 56. 22.100 libavcodec 58. 35.100 / 58. 35.100 libavformat 58. 20.100 / 58. 20.100 libavdevice 58. 5.100 / 58. 5.100 libavfilter 7. 40.101 / 7. 40.101 libavresample 4. 0. 0 / 4. 0. 0 libswscale 5. 3.100 / 5. 3.100 libswresample 3. 3.100 / 3. 3.100 libpostproc 55. 3.100 / 55. 3.100 /input/The Jack (Solo).wav: Operation not permitted' any ideas ? |
| Great tool. On the conversion sometimes the sound is quite metallic. there is any tips of a better sound quality after the conversion? |
