Ultimate Vocal Remover

***All Installation Instructions Can Be Found on My GitHub Repository***

**Hidden Content: Thanks to see the content**

===============================================
Everyone seems to keep missing this so I'm adding the quote here for the time being.

I'm personally not able to run the newest models that Anjok released with the most recent GUI, another version of Colab is in development though (not by me).

I will see if I can fix things, meanwhile, I'm open to any kind of requests for Colab, will try my best to implement them or think of workarounds.

Google Colab Method

If you encounter issues during the installation of the regular vocal remover or the GUI, you can use this method. It doesn't require any special or powerful hardware, as all of the processes are done in the cloud. 1 track gets processed for around 1 minute.

STEPS:

Delete everything from the old Colab project, including the folder in your Google Drive, before updating!


1. Download this archive and upload the folder "vocal-remover" to your Google Drive.

2. Go to https://colab.research.google.com/ and click on "Upload".

3. Download this file and upload it to Google Colab.

4. When you open the project, you'll see a couple of steps that I've numbered to be easy to follow. Just click each one and wait until it gets finished.

On the fifth step, where you're choosing which track to process, make sure you've typed its name exactly as it is + the file type (WAV/FLAC/MP3 etc.)


5. Your instrumental & acapella tracks should be found inside the "vocal-remover" folder.

Optional: If you wish for cleaner results, you can run your instrumental (that you just made) through the stacked model. It's the very last step.

Wow, that's comprehensive.
Count me excited as well. I'm very curious to see what can be done by assembling a bunch of different models. Maybe one model will convert a track exceptionally well, except for one part of the song ... but a different model will do that one part much better, but doesn't do the rest of the song as well. Then the results of the two conversions (or more) can be spliced together to create the best possible results.

I wish I could do this but my PC is a hunk of crap recently.

I hope it gets there! My hope is that many here will train individualized models that can process many different kinds of tracks. If we crowdsource models and share them here, I can build a GUI interface with a drop-down menu to process songs on the genre-specific models.

That would be brilliant.

Do you think you could create a short video tutorial from start to finish?
I admit I'm not much of a coder and I got stuck when installing soundstretch =8

Thanks for this - bit of a dab hand with Python so looking forward to giving this a whirl

Nice! Please let us know your experience with this, especially if you decide to train!

I totally understand. This process can be a bit jarring for some. Once you get started, I'd be happy to answer any question you have! If I have the time, I'll work on a tutorial video.

Will do - excited to try this out!
