hahaha, I say bring on the beast xD Actually is kinda exciting that you are upgrading your PC.
Mileage may vary on this but I have had great success under-clocking my GPU to manage heat. ...
Not that I absolutely need to since I'm running a GTX 1070, but I've always got MSI Afterburner running.

For example, one of the previous models had me at 80-85C,
so I under-clocked from 1700MHz to 1200MHz Core and from 4,000 to 3,500MHz memory.
Presto, cool and comfy 68-72C.

I do the same when I'm gaming. I can still run Witcher 3 on my laptop at 60FPS under-clocked and hold a steady 70C, rather than the 85C it would otherwise run the game at.

My current PC is pretty tough and was definitely getting the job done, as I managed to keep it under 98F CPU and my GPU under 86F during some intense training sessions. The issue is it's 5 years old and my MB is capped on the amount of RAM I can install (32GB). I also can't upgrade my CPU or GPU to what I really need. I'm pretty sure if I kept training on it, the lifespan was going to decrease a lot quicker than if I had hardware optimized for deep learning.

My new set up will have 64GB's of RAM (expandable to 128GB), a RTX 2080Ti with 11GB's of V-RAM, and a far stronger processor. Definitely going to be spitting out more models in a shorter time frame, and save time determining the quality of my datasets. It takes a least 15-20 epoch runs to know if my dataset is effective. My new PC will get there in maybe 3 or 4 hours with a dataset consisting of 320 pairs. With my current PC using my GTX 1060 GPU, it takes a little over 24 hours to get to 15-20 epochs with a 320 pair dataset...

I'd rather use my current PC to code the GUI, analyze models, and run test conversions, which take 15 seconds per track. All while my new one trains.

I'm pretty excited about this too!!

I have made a fascinating discovery!

This AI converts early Death tracks SUBSTANTIALLY better than the primary AI in the other topic. It's no contest, it just crushes it in every way imaginable. Take a look at Zombie Ritual from Scream Bloody Gore. Convert it with each and see side by side if you like.

This does appear to be the exception rather than the rule, but there are certainly places where this AI (or this current model of this AI) does a superior job.

Another great example to look at is The Cure - One Hundred Years
The other AI does a slightly better job overall at stripping the vocals, but this AI model does not pull the drum echo into the vocal track, making it superior in that regard. I also found that Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe is stronger up front (though the back half of the song is a mess) ... another heavy reverb song ...

Scream Bloody Gore is also a reverb heavy album...

I don't want to jump to conclusions because it may be more complicated than reverb, but it certainly sounds like this model is far superior at handling reverb over the other one. I don't know for sure, but identifying why in particular, Scream Bloody Gore is such a crushing difference ... would be interesting.

That's really good to know! I've noticed this model is far better at removing reverbs as well. Funny thing is this dataset actually included a lot of pop and dance music (courtesy of some users here who sent me some great pairs). It makes me even more excited to get the rest of my PC parts next week!

Here is a mock-up of the GUI I'm working on for this AI. I'm still working on coding and configuring it. More features and options will be added! This is my first draft of the application, so the final product will look better than this.

I'll also be releasing a GUI for training too, but that will be way after the conversion GUI is released.

if u need a beta tester send it here

I can not get this work on Windows 10 64bit or Windows 8.1 64bit and would like to know what the possible issues are. I've followed the instructions and still get this error.......
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Can you please list instructions for how to use this on Linux/Ubuntu?
Thanks.

This should fix the "pip" issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYdHr-LxsJ0

I fixed it. It was actually a matter of not having certain options checked off in the custom installation before installing. Still want a method for Ubuntu/Linux though.

Not sure what this is about but after trying to convert a song it gives this and then just sits on a blinking cursor.

And then I try running the pip install command again just to be sure and displays I'm still missing files.

Happened to me too. I wrote pip3 install numba==0.48.0 (or change it to 0.50.0) and I think that fixed it for me .

djtayz's suggestion worked for me when I tried it. Maybe it'll help you as well.
I should also mention that for whatever reason, for me anyway, MP3 files don't work, but wav or flac do.
