    Thank you! This one liner worked. I searched for a solution for this when I was building this app and am not sure why I couldn't find this. Looks like this has been possible since …

    Yeah, for web apps you have to make sure your phone is not on silent and the ringer volume is up. This is why most audio apps for phones will force you to use their native app. I w…

    For 1) another commenter had a simmilar idea. I think a GAN would be able to do this. It's just a matter of collecting the data For 2) SUNO's stem separation is pretty good. The op…
