@Anjok Will we see the baseline updated to use commands or have menu option in the GUI for specific stems? Like drums, bass, guitars, keys, etc? Yes lower end machines will take longer but it'll damn be worth it.

I don't think this exact method will work for separate stems, as it's only used for instrumentals. In that case, use Demucs - it's by far the best tool to extract bass, drums, synth and vocals.

Can you point me there? I currently use RX7. But if it's better than that I'll give it a whirl.

I can make a guide on how to install it on Google Colab, since it won't require coding there, otherwise this is the GitHub page and there are a few examples and comparisons https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs

It's my go-to way for DIY stems. Downside is on some tracks it can ignore background vocals and leave them as synths, rather than part of the vocals track. But depends from song to song.

I went to the github to checked it out and can probably/maybe get it going but if you made a guide it would sure help djtayz.

I need the background vocals anyways. LOL.

If ever there is a program that can effectively pull apart main vocals and backing vocals, that would be ... very useful >,>
Though I'm not getting my hopes up.

Can you link to it when this is ready? Would greatly appreciate it.

This is what I meant by Google Colab. You mentioned earlier you could make a tuto on Colab. One for dummies would be great.

I'll make a separate thread for this, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I hate to be annoying but Google Colab isn't working right for the instrumental conversion.
It worked great yesterday.
