Powerful New Vocal Remover AI - Instructions

well after being away back to work for 3 weeks and come back to this collab thingymajig (Scottish)..........what can i say........i'm impressed.....works just as fast on my old set up as the vocal remover v2 did on my sons expensive set up..........better instrumentals......wish it would leave some backing vox in but can't complain....defo shit hot.....easy as to follow after watching video from new age ripper

Sometimes we can pull a few tricks to squeeze out some backing vocals. Send me a PM if you want to discuss other softwares we might try.
That way we can come back here to make a side post for this.
 
Just wanted to thank all the people that made this possible. I'm a huge fan of instrumentals and this tool is so far the best i've seen and the speed with which the data is processed is amazing !!
 
Is there a way to make a folder per song? Like, when you run the app and the song vocals and instrumentals are extracted, the output folder would be something like 'vocal-remover\SONGNAME_extracted'.
btw i'm using the collab version and really, I love this app, is the best out there! Thank you all for the hard work

Unless [MENTION=39673]Anjok[/MENTION] or [MENTION=26971]djtayz[/MENTION] has a solution, no. I tried since that is an excellent question.

I think that's possible, will see what I can do.
 
Looking forward to trying this out - looks really cool.

Quick question - How do i remove/uninstall all of the python stuff that we had to download in the first steps you gave in your original post?

I am going to re-download it on to a more powerful machine and I want to uninstall it from my home laptop?
 
This application is quite impressive! Playing around with it has helped keep me sane during the pandemic, at least so far.

I do have a question/comment: I've noticed that it doesn't seem to be able to remove lower range male vocals all that well. Any idea if this is due to the training or if there's a setting I can change to adjust the low end floor for vocal removing? If it's a training issue, is it possible to request "low male vocals" as one of the future models? I'd attempt to train it myself, but my computer isn't quite powerful enough.

If not, no worries, I really appreciate what you've done with it so far and I'm looking forward to further updates.

I second this. If it can be solved it would be massive. Lots of bassy voices that currently don't convert well enough, or parts of songs. Like Opeth isn't there yet, or The Tea Party, Cannibal Corpse forget about it lol.

On a more kind of mixed side you've got Pearl Jam. Lots of songs convert fantastic, but he tends to have this real low bass tone in some songs that never gets picked up.
 
***UPDATE***

Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. There's been a lot going on and finding time to jump back into this has been difficult. I've successfully been able to get the GUI to work exactly as intended with v3.0. However, training for v3.0 has been another story.. I'm actually in the process of carefully going through my datasets to make sure they contain only the most effective pairs. The cleaner the dataset, the cleaner the vocal removal will be. My goal is to make it so the next model doesn't strip ANY instrumentation whatsoever.

An application update is on the horizon!

hey mate will that mean that the acapellas will be cleaner to?

If you mean cleaner in that there's less instrumental bleed through, yes much cleaner. However, if you mean clean as in having the same overall sound quality as the generated instrumental, then no. Not yet. The issue isn't the AI either. It's because I don't have enough official acapellas to use in a dataset.

The way to train this AI to extract vocals with retained quality would be to add the official acapellas to the "instruments" folder and the mixes to the "mixture" folder. I actually coded a version of the GUI as "Ultimate Vocal Extractor". I just need a bigger dataset to train with, so it's still a work in progress.

Awesome news. Can't wait.
