@Anjok would it be possible to train a model to preserve backing vocals within allowed boundaries? I work with music on the karaoke side of things and sing and record. Backing vocals would be very helpful. I realize they can't be preserved in all songs due to how the mix is done. but your A.I. has really helped to make instrumentals from older tracks I thought would never be possible. It could essentially just be another command that tries to filter and export another track but instead of being acapella it's the backing vocals.
That's a good question and it's something I would have to experiment with. I think one way I can potentially make this happen is to train the AI on a dataset consisting of only full mixes paired with their official TV track counterparts. To have a model as effective as the ones I've shared, it would have to consist of at least 200 pairs as well. The GUI that's being developed will have a drop-down of models to choose from, so you'll be able to toggle between a karaoke model and a full vocal removal model.
That would be absolutely fantastic. Some songs leave backing vocals currently already but again, it depends on the mix. As for the earlier mention songs someone mentioned with talking parts, I have one such old country classic I'd like to get devocaled. I may have to send it to you since I bought a retail CD in order for you to have the full frequency of the track. But it's called "Phantom 309." Really would mean a lot to get it devocaled properly.
need of some assistance....i had to reformat laptop and then i installed AI again but it wont run

any thoughts
***UPDATE***
The GUI is complete! I couldn't compile it to an executable due to PyTorch not wanting to play ball. Please see the main thread for more information on installation and links! The GUI comes with a brand new model that was trained on 700 pairs! The strongest one I've made thus far.
Enjoy everyone!
Thank you for the hard work!
Would the GUI work on Mac? A friend of mine is having issues, although I know there was no mention of Mac support, just Windows. I was curious if it would run.
