Hi everyone.
I have a problem. I'm using this great GUI for months. To day I installed demucs using this guide https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs
I didn't install python 3.7 because it is already installed. I use demucs and I think it it great too for some side but now when I try to open vocal remover the prompt appears just for a second then disappears and the gui doen's run. What happened? What can I do? I'd like to use both... please help! Thx

Read about the beta update HERE or read the instructions on the github as linked in the main TOC.

Another question: Everytime I use google colab I have to do all the steps from the beginning? Or there 's a way to save the driver?

The small .ipynb file should be fine always after uploading once. But all the other steps have to be done each time. Only if you experience an error converting a song that I would reup the .ipynb file to start it as new again. But the big folder you upload to your google drive is fine always and shouldn't need to be redone again. Hope this helps. You can always from Google Colab go to "File" "Open Notebook" and remove the previous sessions and browse for the .ipynb file from your hard drive again to start as new. I honestly need to update the video because at that time I thought you had to upload the .ipynb file every time. As I said it doesn't hurt to help avoid corruption in Colab.

The .ipynb file is what you do the first time you opened Google Colab to upload it. after that Google Colab sees it in your drive. That is why Step 1 requires authentication, step 2 checks for ffmpeg items. Step 3 checks and redownloadeds within the cloud to satisfy everything else. Step 4 looks for synced vocal remover folder. Then you choose step 5 for your choice of models to use.

As I said it's an amazing tool with great models, but it would be awesome if the Google Colab version could be updated because due to my equipment, it's taking a lot of time to process and I have to be really patient lol

Thanks in advance...

Colab doesn't rely on your hardware, it's cloud based from Google. Which process takes a long time to complete? It should not take more than 2-3 minutes to set it up and more than a minute to convert a song.

Ah sorry, I was talking about the GUI ^^

You'll soon learn that Google Colab and the GUI tool actually goes hand in hand depending on your needs. I find that the low end 32000-512 model is best for most tracks that I need the vocals out of. It seems to smooth out the artifacts from certain vocal pitches better. I render one in the GUI in 22 to 40 min depending on the song. I'm a karaoke enthusiast so if the slower method gives me the best results, then that is what I go with. Also the GUI is handy for when you can't be on an internet connection such as a laptop or Windows tablet. Im working with songs that never made it into karaoke labels and even know how to separate lead and backing vocals. The more you mess with it the more ideas you get.
